Mid afternoon and no reviews. Is everyone out Christmas shopping?
I wasn't expecting a Meg today and I always feel disappointed when I get one and no Prog. The free poster, while nice, doesn't make up for it.
An excellent downbeat Christmas Dredd from the Ewing droid. Pulling in some elements from earlier in the mutant storylines and putting a neat twist on some of those developments. John Higgins' art here and on the accompanying cover is excellent as always. I was initially surprised that he'd toned down his usual penchant for purples and greens until I saw the muted colouring on the strip was handled by someone else.
Tempest wasn't a favourite of mine, but it was decent enough to warrant another series. This first part is daft fun, reveals why Al was asking about The Art of Geomancy a while ago and displays an extraordinary step up in quality and detail from Jon Davis-Hunt.
The Lost Cases is a reasonable filler, but no more. Obviously, there's a lot of scope for untold Dredd stories from history, but I don't see that there's a need to tie them all into major existing events. This story is better than Grant's last few attempts at Dredd, but that's not saying much.
