Of course, the story could've been longer and more complex, perhaps something like a riddle within a riddle. IT really didin't feel like it was the ultimate riddle. And I'll just let you discover that for yourself. The cacophony of bone crunching brutality builds up a surprising plot twist.

Dredd's "pro-violence." John Wagner has clearly learned his characters' characters. Both characters follow their character established tropes to a T, making for interesting contrasts of M.O's: Batman's "pro-life" approach Vs. Subterfuge, gadgetry, and good ol' fashioned fisticuffs shatter jaws and crush bodies all across this netherworld of nastiness. Inspired as much enflashed with D&D imagery as ethos, unseen casts of the die seem to drive every battle to delirious effect. Kill or be killed is the raison d'être in this murky dreamworld of nightmarish proportions. Much in a similar vein to the notorious 2004 Rockstar Games offering, Manhunt, our heroes Dredd and Batman are tossed into a game of life and death. However, hypnotic visuals are only the first level of illustrated sheen in this smorgasbord of unstinting engagement. Your eyeballs will revel in it with each sugary bite. When Batman, Judge Dredd, and The Riddler are caught in an extraterrestrial's internecine bloodsport, a story dripping with all the sanguine brutality it entails, ensues.įlawless in its execution, mouth-watering eye candy flashes across each and every page. Gorgeous art is only exceeded by a set up that is as intriguing as it is enigmatic.
