Written by Eisner-nominated, Glyph Award-winning writer of comics and TV Brandon Easton (Star Trek: Year Five, Transformers, Agent Carter) with superstar artist Kei Zama (Death's Head, Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye) making her Judge Dredd debut!
Justice Academy drop-out Mathias Lincoln has built a comfortable life working as a courier for Mega-City One's most elite citizens. But after he uncovers a horrific conspiracy stretching from the Cursed Earth to the city's seats of power, Mathias also finds himself pursued by legendary lawman Judge Dredd!
Kei Zama delivers some beautiful art throughout this issue. The action is fantastic and I loved the way Mathias is drawn in action. The details in the panels are breathtaking and the scale of the city is amazing. Read Full Review
Judge Dredd: False Witness #1 is an interesting new mystery for fans to dive into without having to catch up on dozens of previous issues, but it does have some flaws in both it's approach to fascist rule and the use of Dredd as a background character. Read Full Review
Fans of Judge Dredd will enjoy this comic because it offers Dredds quintessential no-nonsense intensity. New readers will also appreciate Judge Dredd: False Witness #1: it offers a lens through which to see our own world. And it judges our worldharshly. Read Full Review
There are times when these powerful characters that are staples of their series add more to a book by being a plot device rather than a protagonist. If another, less physically imposing character is on the run from them or having to fight them, it increases the impact their presence has when they are on the page. This comic is well written, well-drawn, and well worth your money. Read Full Review
JUDGE DREDD FALSE WITNESS #1 takes a current year issue and brings into the 22nd century without being too heavy-handed. Read Full Review
I liked this first issue as it dives into Lincoln's point of view on the state of Mega-City One and all its inequalities. This story is shaping up to be incredibly relevant, especially in American society today, and should serve as a reminder to us all the subjugated deserve a hero even when there are none at present. Heroism comes in different forms and being a whistleblower may be the only salvation for some. Read Full Review
An exciting and well done introduction to this story, that never quite makes the leap to a great addition to the canon. Stellar artwork ratchets up the energy and quality overall, and is worth the pick up. Read Full Review
It's colorful, yet feels dirty, setting the scene of Mega City One rather well. It is, however, extremely on the nose, using our current place in history to tell a story of evil, greed, and corruption. Read Full Review
