Confusing Dredd story highly recommend you read the 2000AD Dredd if this is your only taste of Judge Dredd

I didn't think I'd like this book at first. JD wakes up in a green paradise, and finds three kids (apparently girls, but the artwork is so poor it's impossible to know) kicking some puppies. He can't successfully arrest them, however, for the entire establishment he knows has been demolished – the nearest block is completely run-down and grown-over. The society there is one that's hard to handle, as it has gatekeepers that seem to be robotic Judges, but inside seems to exist on the principal of

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This was the first Judge Dredd comic that I read, and it was decent. The art style was different, but still interesting. The story was interesting, but at some points it was not compelling and it could be difficult to understand at times.

Ok, so Judge Dredd wakes up in a world overrun by greenery, and apparently descended into anarchy. Can't raise anyone on the radio, and the world simply seems to have gone to shit.He meets three teenage girls, and ends up forming some kind of a bond with them, despite being Dredd. There are lots of oddballs on the way, and Dredd dispenses justice in the only way he knows - through his limited ammo reserves.The art is mostly good, and that's what kept me going. The story is quite average and I'll...

This has nothing to do with anything I associate Judge Dredd with. It's also badly written. The art is decent.

Interesting premise, but story feels fragmented with some clumsy joins between the chapters. The trouble is, Mega City One is as much a character in most classic Dredd stories as the eponymous lawman himself. Removing that entirely does give the benefit of the "fish out of water" feel, but leaves a gap that the writers can never quite fill. The sidekick characters are overly grotesque even for Dredd's world (a pre-teen girl who pulls out people's eyeballs?). The social commentary is in keeping w...

The first chapter was pretty enjoyable; I was excited. But then I felt it fell apart immediately afterwards. 2/5.

This book just meandered. Judge Dread and part of Mega City are transported somewhere. It looks prehistoric maybe. Here he finds a city with no judges, no law. Then the book just devolves into a bunch of nonsense. I read it and couldn't tell you what happened with the rest of the book.Received an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve read some pretty bad Judge Dredd storylines throughout my time but Megacity Zero takes the cake on the worst one yet.I really don’t get what this series is attempting. A social commentary on law and order? (Well, that’s always a given in Dredd storylines) A humorous look at internet trolls? A future wasteland of lawlessness? I don’t know. This volume is such a mess of disproportionate storylines and jumps that it’s a confusing mess of an idea that never once goes anywhere or even tells a de...

Freed wakes up in a field of Green and his futuristic world no longer exists. As he pieces together clues to what happened his fate becomes tied to 3 children

Judge Dredd comes to on a grass plain with now idea where he is or what has happened. But he is definitely not in Kansas anymore! Dredd teams up with three locals, breaks into the very strange Mega-City for clues, but just finds more questions. All sorts of action plus a nice cliff-hanger makes this a decent read.

I’m giving this two stars because I thought the art was ok, but it’s nowhere near the best in the Dredd world. But the dialogue was terrible and it was a slog to get through. I’m glad that this is one of the IDW publications and not the gold that Rebellion puts out in 2000AD.If this was your first taste of Dredd then I wouldn’t be surprised if you never read any other Dredd comics again. But do yourself a favour and check out the 2000AD stuff as it’s a million times better.

Judge Dredd: Mega-City Zero Volume 1 by Ulises Farinas et. al. is a free NetGalley e-Comic that I read in mid-April.Beyond the two existing, live-action Judge Dredd movies, my experiences with reading its originating/corresponding comics have been slim to nil. When I chose to review this comic, I was doing so with the assumption that my seeing these movies would prepare me for delving into this character further. Luckily, it did, but little well it serves if this 3-comic compilation is building

What happened... where in time is Judge Dredd?This is a great start to an intriguing plot. Judge Dredd wakes up with no idea where he is. But he knows he's got to keep enforcing the law! Mega City has disappeared, and in its place is the Grass. Full of outcasts of society, people who's Socap isn't high enough to score them a place in Ang Avi (which looks a heck of a lot like a Mega Block to Dredd.) Once Dredd, and his new crew of 3 adolescent girls busts their way inside we get to the weird worm...

1.8I wish I had words to describe the awfulness of this graphic novel.It could have been really great with Dredd waking up in an alien world where he finds a city with no judges and strange laws. So many possibilities, so many questions. Unfortunately, the plot went from promising to useless and stupid pretty fast. Lightning speed fast. Including puppy kicking, dumb speeches, and even dumber characters. To me the story made no sense at all. And the artwork. Holy crap, the artwork. It really hurt...

Not that great.

Hmm ... sorry, not my cup of tea. Had the feel of 'Judge Dredd: The Pantomime', with rather juvenile jokes about kicking dogs, mishearing Dredd's name and madcap violence. A nice concept, Dredd returning to consciousness and finding Mega City gone, but the writers clearly decided to go for irreverence rather than relevance. Picked up towards the end, when the schlock humour was ditched in favour of Dredd being the Stony Face we know and love.Artwork reminiscent of Frank Millar's work on Dark Kni...

Disappointing. The cover art was really good but the art inside just soso. After LOVING the previous JD series this was a letdown.

The seeming precursor to Robocop—both in looks and sense of righteousness; with his black and white approach to justice, he should be thinking more about survival—wakes up to find his city has been transported into either the past or an apocalyptic future or alternative universe or something; never got it. Having his AI remind him of his last assignment is an excellent way of data dumping, but even with that the story is never above confusing. There are some great moments, like a hilarious and t...

'Judge Dredd: Mega-City Zero, Volume 1' starts with Judge Dredd outside in a green field and just gets stranger from there. Mega-City One is gone in some distant future and Judge Dredd finds himself outside of it with limited ammo and a need to find out what happened to his city. He helps three young kids who and they become kind of like his tribe. Not that Dredd requires a tribe, but these feral kids kind of get to him. When he finds the answers to his mystery, it's stranger than he thinks. He
