review:

'Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-Division' is a story featuring Judge Anderson. While Judge Dredd makes a cameo, just realize he's not in this one much more than a few panels.



Cassandra Anderson has a gift of precognition, and when she sees that a robbery is going to take place at one of Mega-City One's museums, she's not above inconveniencing museum staff to save lives. When the robbers reveal a dangerous new weapon that Anderson is immune to, she knows it's up to her to stop it. This leads her on a hunt for a criminal overlord that may exist or may just be a ghost story that criminals tell each other (Keyser Soze anyone?). Her adventures lead her to desolate swamps and see her teaming up with some strange people, like a fellow judge from Texas who can track using something called psychic geography. Will her gut instincts and cognition prove correct, or will they lead her into a trap? And what does it have to do with her birth, if anything?



I like Judge Anderson, and I feel like the book has all the design elements of the world of Judge Dredd, but I felt something was lacking. Perhaps it was lacking Dredd's stony sobriety, or the weird humor that seems to show up in the boundaries of the stories. Still, it was interesting to learn more about Anderson, and it's not a terrible story. There are some nice twists and turns before it's all said and done.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
