Story one has Death, Fear, Mortis and Fire escape and cause their usual level of havoc. Despite the obviously dark elements that go with the Dark Judges, there's a lot of humour in here too. Probably the best of the four stories.
Story two, Dredd is assigned to cover a graveyard shift in Sector 87. The Sector Chief is bent (it screams out all the way through to me so it isn't really a spoiler). The racism/xenophobia lines are overdone for my taste, but JD shines through in his own inimitable style.
Story three has Dredd chase a bioweapon onto a Black Atlantic ship-city. It's a great piece of high octane sci-fi, but somehow just fails as a Dredd story. I really liked it, I'd have liked it more with a different lead.
Story four is on the moon. Lots of shit happens, Dredd kicks serious butt. Probably a worse story that story 3, but better JD. ( )
