A silly, short Dredd tale about the implementation of robot Judges in MC1. Dredd’s against it from the off – why does no-one ever listen? – and is soon proven correct as the robots go off piste and start exceeding their protocols. Annoyingly there’s no end to the story, at least not in this collection. It dates from 1993 so they’ve had plenty of time to do so in the comic but here it’s one that got away.
The art is split between McNeil’s big bold painterly style and Doherty’s slightly more comic-booky one. The change is jarring when it happens but this soon wears away and both artists do a nice job.
Doherty also does the honours on the short and daft back-up strip, ‘The Man Who Killed Judge Dredd’. Fun and silly in equal measures it’s just a shame the first story didn’t have an ending.
