Outside the duck universe of Marvel, DC and Donald, you will be hard pressed to find a comic book hero who has been around the block more times than Judge Dredd. The challenge as IDW launches a series of ongoing Dredd is to find a new perspective on the law seasoned Mega-City One depositary. The new status quo, to set this series apart from the many stories that have come before Dredd? Ulises FariƱas writers and Erick Freitas seems to have found the solution. This new series has Dredd well outside their comfort zone, and the result is a first coupling number.Not that the franchise Judge Dredd is very complex or difficult to
start, but this first issue is immediately welcome newcomers, because both the reader and by the Dredd himself as caught off guard in the first pages. Dredd wakes in a foreign country, without the slightest idea where it is or how he got there. As you work to make sense of their situation and still maintain their job, Dredd gradually discovers more about the nature of this strange land and its inhabitants. The authors are quick to introduce the concept of desperate uncertainty in history. The scene with Dredd take stock of their limited ammunition is especially effective in this regard.Despite the urgency, the ever stoic hero does not lose its charm. For all that has changed with the setting, it is still a classic Dredd adventure in many ways. Violent and quite dark, and humor in a kind of shady path. Much of the humor comes from the addition of three teenagers as troublemakers new type Dredd friends. There is an element of satire Dredd many good stories, and this pokes fun online culture connection and the desire of some people to be heard, even when they have nothing of value to say.The art of Dan McDaid are well adapted to this particular tale Dredd. The fact that this book is in color is just one element that sets it apart from the average Dredd story. The environment is more organic and open post-apocalyptic. It's almost like making Judge Dredd in the Mad Max franchise. It
is dirty and rough, and live in his own strange way. McDaid paints a striking picture of this unusual world and injects the mob scenes and fight sequences with a wide variety of energy.
