Preview and Solicitation

Review
I like that this book is split into two stories. After reading some of the Complete Casefiles, I think Dredd is something that works better when the page count for a story is limited.

That being said, I like it even more that the back up is being used to tell a sub-story of the main one, just to reinforce what is happening in the main one.

Having the shortened page space means that every panel in the story has to count for something, and this book is a shining example of that. Daniel has been excellent in every issue of this series, and I can't help but continue to appreciate it every time.

The story is a ramp up for the finale next issue. So far, things have been moving along great. The robots are taking over, and Dredd has to find a way to stop them. Something tells me that the next issue won't be the end all for the overall story arc, but whether it is the end or not, I'm still going to be buying this month in and month out.

Grades
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 9/10
General Feeling After Reading: Give me more Dredd!
Buy Next Issue: Definitely.
