Second in the sequence of Titan Eleventh Doctor comics, continuing his adventures with recently bereaved London librarian Alice, anonymous musician Jones and chameleon entity ARC. Alice is much more interesting than the other two and gets much more plot, especially when her dead mother appears to come back. The standout however is the first episode where time starts running backwards – this has been done a couple of times before in Who, but it’s difficult to do well and it is carried off with aplomb.… (altro)

First of the 2014 line of Eleventh Doctor comics by Titan, this introduces a new companion, Alice Obiefune from Hackney, as a regular Tardis traveller along with invisible musician John Jones and an alien entity called ARC. I like the new dynamic between the primaries, but the other two companions seem a bit superfluous, and the historical story set in the segregated Deep South pulls its punches. Pleasing enough, good art.… (altro)

When for the second time Titan penitentiary for disgraced Judges becomes silent, MegaOne Judge council sends the reconnaissance troop to see what is going on. Two persons join the Justice Marines squadron - Judge Dredd, as one of the most trusted law enforcers, and former head of the Titan penitentiary. What starts as the recon mission will end up in bloodshed that can very well doom the MegaOne itself.

This is one of the hardest experience for Dredd. After the failed investigation on Titan he will find himself constantly brutally tortured by the person from his past - constantly beaten and heavily wounded from day to day we can see how Dredd is slowly falling to the dark side so to speak. I know, this is Dredd after all, what dark side - right? Well Dredd is merciless but one always knows where he stands with him because Dredd stands for justice. But now, it seems that some cracks are starting to show up and Dreedd is no longer cool-under-fire. What follows is one wrong decision after another from MegaOne's end (pivotal one instigated by Dredd) and soon conflagration comes to Earth.

I wont go into details to avoid spoilers but this one is pretty strong book and not just story wise. Art is great, and what is most important it is consistent through all episodes in this volume. From the insertion to Titan and breaking up through enigmatic remains in high orbit (have to admit, breaking through this "debris" was truly "maaaan" moment), descending into depths of Enceladus to what one might call last charge of light cavalry :) you will get sucked into the story itself and pages will just start to fly.

Excellent collection, highly recommended not only to Judge Dredd fans but also to fans of action SF in general.… (altro)

We again follow the Wally Squad operatives as they try to fight off the really weird criminals in Mega City One. While some of the stories are in category of their own (really weird :) like new drug called Creation) others are more or less standard undercover work with single plot linking all of th eevents - who exactly is the Big Man?

Dirty Frank is again one of the best characters (at least for me :) ), that man is .... lets just say disturbing :)

Recommended for fans of action and thriller.… (altro)
