I bought this and the two follow ups from Amazon - I was going through a Kindle phase, we've all done it. Anyway, a darn good read although I still can't see where the author is taking us, the readers. Glad to see it available here, recommended.

I admittedly mainly got this for the amazing A.H.A.B. strip collected in the back, but the whole issue is classic Dredd. Well worth a few bucks to pick up over a hundred pages of material!

I'm a little tired of the Judge Death stuff, but I respect how the comic continues to reinvent things rather than telling the same story over and over. Another great collection of Dred strips!

More excellent Dredd comics! The Complete Case Files are all excellent reads, and it really helps an American like me to get a better sense of how Dredd slowly evolved over time.

After Dredd's experimental phase in the 90s, here it starts settling down and becoming a really good comic.

This is my first time reading Strontium Dog, and it was a lot of fun! It has the satirical edge of classic Judge Dredd, but due to the focus on mutant bounty hunters, it can tell different stories of prejudice and crime drama. Plus some great art from classic 2000 AD artists. Definitely worth a read!

A decent sword and sorcery comic set in ancient Ireland. The art is pretty inconsistent, but the story is fun.

An interesting collection of short stories about a group of robot soldiers. It definitely wears its inspirations like "The Magnificent Seven" on its sleeve. Also has a good dose of Pat Mills' humor. I almost wish I read this before the first Nemesis the Warlock collection, because there's a lot of backstory here that plays out there.

When I was looking into this, I was told that Nemesis is a lot like a proto-Warhammer 40k setting. And that's technically true, but it does not indicate the sheer level of glorious chaos this comic provides. Planet-wide mass transit systems co-exist with space Inquisitors! A villain turned into a ghost after a transporter accident that uses telephone wires! An entire empire of space aliens that pretend to be Victorians! A hero that looks like a demon, and whose head is the same shape as his spaceship! It's a gloriously bonkers action comic.

More 90s-era mixed bag. Some stories like "Crusade" and "Escape from Kurt Russell" are fun, while others like Skar are interesting but marred with more murky art.

We're firmly in the 90s of comics now, for all that entails. The Wilderlands epic is great stuff, and it's surrounded with a handful of good stories to boot.

In a lot of ways, this is an interesting cross-section of Judge Dredd as a whole. It has some really experimental stories, an epic ("Book of the Dead", which isn't great in my opinion), and a number of "traditional" shorter stories. The art ranges from dark and murky to crisp and beautiful to downright odd. Something for everyone, but also you're bound to find something you don't like.

More rare and lost strips from Judge Dredd. Definitely a mixed bag -- some are great, but others are probably best forgotten.

Definitely one of the weirder and darker collections. Which, given the inclusion of Grant Morrison's "Inferno" story, makes a lot of sense. Plus, more of the Robo-Judge aftermath.

A lot of good stories leading up to "Trial by Machine" and the rise of the Robo-Judge storyline. Great stuff!
