10/10 - Flickering Myth

"Williams and Weston deliver again and again ... another essential Dredd volume for your collection." - comicon.com

"Can we just stop whatever we’re doing for a moment and talk about Chris Weston? This guy knows how to draw some comics." - Tegan O'Neil, The Comics Journal

"Ferociously intelligent, brutal, and yet interspersed with moments of sublime beauty. Dredd's world has never looked better, or felt more horrific." Ian Dunt, journalist and writer politics.co.uk, How To Be A Liberal

"A great collection of Dredds by Williams & Weston. Hard to pick a favourite, but I think the sad Klegg carries the day. Highly recommended." - Garth Ennis, writer The Boys, Preacher

"Gaze into the fist of Dredd" was the classic, but with Rob Williams we gaze into the mind of Dredd" - Rowan Hooper, journalist New Scientist

"an all-time volume that nails the tone, art, everything." - Jeff Parker, writer X-Men, James Bond

"The new Judge Dredd: Control book is so drokkin' good! Class Dredd in all the best ways, but still as fresh as hell. With visuals that will melt your eyes. Recommended to all citizens." - JH Williams III, artist Sandman

"Gorgeous collection of stories that are like if Arthur Miller decided to roam Mega City One." - Van Jensen, writer Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer

"Rob and Chris Weston have a perfect grasp on what makes Dredd so compelling: a hero, a monster; an icon. This story boils with epic ambition and grimy realpolitik. This IS the law." - Simon Spurrier, writer Hellblazer, Coda

"It's a satire-tipped bullet, it is the best of JUDGE DREDD — provocative speculative fiction that wields its monolithic pop culture icon to cut through the paranoid issues of the modern, often-fearful moment. Society and its follies are the nails, Dredd's the hammer, and we love him for it."" - Steve Orlando, writer Wonder Woman, Justice League

"a fantastic collection of modern Dredd. Highly recommend it." - Ollie Masters, writer The Kitchen
