review:

When juveniles start developing strange psychic abilities, it's up to a rookie Judge Dredd to figure out what's going on. The problem is the youth are extraordinarily violent, often without fully understanding what they are doing.



Dredd is teamed up with Riorden from Psi-Division to try to figure out how to stop these strange outbreaks. What they discover along the way is stranger than they could even imagine, including a possible future where these powerful kids overthrow society.



The one quibble I have is that as a newer judge, Dredd is nearly as competent as he is in later stories. There are a few miscues on his part, but not nearly as many as in other stories of this type. But it's a capable story by Matt Smith and the illustration work by Simon Coleby reminded me of all those great 2000AD stories from the 1980s that I devoured.



I was given a copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.
