4.0 out of 5 stars "For once, Dredd may be out of his depth.", September 20, 2000

This review is from: Deathmasques (Judge Dredd) (Paperback)

This is one of the better Dredd novels. The writing is very clean, concise, and free of confusing jargon and technobabble for the most part, and the author maintains a consistent tone throughout the novel.

The author uses Armitage, one of the novels main characters, as a solid foil for Dredd, allowing the author to reveal more about Dredd and to touch upon areas the previous novel hadn't explored. With this novel, Judge Dredd evolves into something closer to a real human being than he'd been in The Savage Amusement.

In a nutshell, if you enjoyed The Savage Amusement, you'll probably really like Deathmasques. If you haven't read the previous novel, then I suggest you think very carefully about what your limit for gratuitous violence is before reading Deathmasques, because this novel is one long blood-bath.

4.0 out of 5 stars ultra violent (just like we like it), November 20, 2002

This review is from: Deathmasques (Judge Dredd) (Paperback)

the book has good pacing and the characters are well
written and true to their comic book selves. some readers may be turned off by the extreme violence but, if you're against violence judge dredd is not for you. the villian is particularly gruesome and nasty and more than a little scary. the book for the most part is a monster hunt (more of an entity than a monster) and straight forward in plot but, at the same time is a well written straight forward.
