This review is from: Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter: 2000 Ad Presents (Paperback)

One of the problems with characters like Judge Dredd is it's hard to have reoccurring villains when Dredd kills most of them. Helter Skelter brings in villains from alternate realities where they won. Dredd has to face everyone from his evil brother Rico, the Soviet War Marshall Kazan and the mad judge Caligula. Worse yet the dimensional rifts may cause all of reality to collapse.

Soon rifts are opening and other 2000AD characters like Halo Jones, DR & Quinch, ABC Warriors and Johnny Alpha put in cameos (and they really are just cameos, don't expect them to speak or do anything, they're just cute Easter eggs).

The story by Garth Ennis is fairly straightforward, art by Carlos Ezquerra and Henry Flint is fine throughout.

But the book is still pretty predictable. The villains pop up, do their thing, and Dredd beats them by being stronger, tougher and meaner. Still it's fun and it's always nice to see the classic villains again. So if you're a Dredd fan this will be a real treat.
