Dredd: Collecting: Dredd Vs Death, Kingdom of the Blind, the Final Cut by Matthew Smith, Gordon Rennie, David Bishop
2.0
This book consists of three novels.
The first one, Dredd Vs. Death, was really good and if I was rating just that novel I would give it 4 stars.
The second novel, Kingdom of the Blind, was full of racist and homophobic slurs, and I did not finish it. Judge Dredd doesn't care what you do in your personal life as long as you don't break the law. It felt like the author had never even read any JD comics and was just going off of a summary of the character and decided that he would be a racist homophobe when there is absolutely nothing in the source material that would support that.
The third novel, Final Cut, didn't have enough Judge Dredd in it, and I didn't finish that one either. Only about a third of the novel had JD in it, and the rest was following the criminals, and sorry, but I don't read Judge Dredd to find out the inner workings of bad guys. I read Judge Dredd to see him kick perp ass.
I'm glad I read the first novel, but the other two were just shameful and boring, respectively.
