Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-Division by Carl Critchlow

In this side story of the Judge Dredd universe, we follow Judge Anderson of the Psi-Division as she tries to take down the boogeyman for all the criminals in Mega City. Using her psychic powers she goes out and kicks some serious real and psychic ass. 

I loved that the story was beginning and end, no cliffhanger, no waiting for the next volume; however, what I did not like was that we get all this hinting at who her parents were and what might have happened to them, but no answer. 

Overall, it was really good, the art was great; I love that post-apocalyptic earth looks very wild west mixed with grimy earth. The book ain't that long and there is a lot of internal dialogue, so if you hate books where the lead character has internal monologues you might not like this.

Judge Dredd: Mega-City Two by Douglas Wolk, Ulises Farinas (Illustrations)

Judge Dredd is going from the action of Mega City One to the spotlight of Mega City Two and without a real punch packing gun, he is seriously getting irked.

Mega City Two is in what used to be Los Angeles and like a pre-apocalyptic LA this Mega City is more interested in films and looks. 

My favorite scene definitely was, the man eating shrimp; mutated shrimp from the atomic wars, how cool is that, shrimp the size of Godzilla.

I could have really used a bit more killing in this book, Judges execute on the spot; also the Chief Judge of Mega City Two was so annoying I really wanted Dredd to Judge. If you're a Dredd fan, you'll still like this, especially how he always seemed to be like 5 seconds away from shooting someone.
