Recent Reads: Judge Dredd - Day Of Chaos - Fallout. The final part of John Wagner's reshaping of the Judge Dredd saga explores the shattered ruins of a shrunken Mega City One, as Judges struggle to reimpose their order on a broken world. Sometimes we just carry on in the old way.
If you've read the two previous volumes, Day of Chaos: The Fourth Faction and Day of Chaos: Endgame you will have experienced perhaps the greatest Dredd epic for three decades. I loved the build up in the first and the relentless, pitiless velocity of second. This volume, however is a different animal. Whereas the first two were scripted exclusively by John Wagner this is a compilation of stories from an array of 2000ad writers. Moreover, it's not not a unified narrative, rather semi-related sto...
A hit and miss follow up to Day of Chaos: Fourth Faction and Day of Chaos: Endgame. Both were significantly better than this spotty collection. Fourth Faction and Endgame seemed more like one long story and Day of Chaos: Fallout was more of a compilation of several shorter ones (13 in all). Some hit their mark and others didn’t. John Wagner, Alan Grant, Rob Williams, and Michael Carroll all contributed to the scripting of this title. Each of them wrote at least one story that I found myself enjo...
This is the third book in the Judge Dredd: Day Of Chaos series. Only, it's not really. Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner's mega-epic serial Day Of Chaos was collected in two volumes: The Fourth Faction and Endgame, but Fallout is an anthology of stories set in the aftermath of the cataclysmic Chaos Day rather than a continuous narrative and features the work of writers who are not John Wagner (although two of his stories do round out the book). It is a fine compendium of tales post Chaos Day an...
A really interesting series of vignettes within the world of Judge Dredd. I love that we see the world through the eyes of people who aren't Dredd and all of the pieces effectively explore this idea of justice within a devasted landscape and whether the law or even morality has a place where survival is not guaranteed. I think out of all the stories bender feels a little out of place and I don't think its exploration of the abuse of power is particularly well done or maybe it just doesn't feel p...
The chaos bug has run its course; much of Mega City One is in ruins and what remains of the Justice Department has their hands full maintaining law and order.The stories in this collection are mostly independent of each other (with occasional overlapping characters) and tell the stories of Judge Dredd and various other characters (both Judges and citizens) as they go about their lives in the aftermath of the Chaos bug.
Stories from different angles set in the wake of the biggest event in 2000 AD for some time. Some are large scale and some much smaller, which gives the collection a nice variety.
