Reading Alien Legion always makes me feel like I'm 10 year old again, reading comics. This one wasn't written until 1992 (when I was 22), but even with the more cartoony art (which I actually like) it still had the same feel to it.

This is just an over-sized one-shot featuring Jugger Grimrod as the main character. He's always fun, though in this one he comes off as more of a big ole teddy bear, all bark etc...

This second volume of collected Judge Dredd strips from the pages of 2000 AD is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it includes "The Cursed Earth" cycle, possibly the greatest adventure in the history of the character. "The Cursed Earth" features spectacular artwork from the amazing Mike McMahon, and a Pat Mills script that is almost as good. Unfortunately, the rest of the contents of this volume represents mediocre work at best, both in terms of lackluster artwork and story lines that are either just plain dull ("The DNA Man") or bloated and tedious ("The Day The Law Died"). Still, Mike McMahon's work on "The Cursed Earth" is truly something to behold...
