Welcome to Litsy!

That was surprisingly better than I expected it to be 😊
The first story is basically a Western with Dredd as sheriff in a border town run by a corrupt business family, with high explosive weapons, mutants and radioactive twisters.
The second story sees Dredd battered and bloodied, running a gauntlet of violent perps in a locked-down Mega-Block, not dissimilar to the excellent Karl Urban Dredd movie.

In an America riven by factional violence, political in-fighting, gangs, and gun crime, in which human life is held cheap and social cohesion is threatened, a para-military police force rises to enforce the Law, regardless of Justice, to quell protest and protect the vested interest of a rich elite.
So, to distract myself from all that, I thought I'd read a Judge Dredd novel.
