Synopsis

Mega-City One, 2080. Judge Joe Dredd's first year on the streets as a full-eagle Judge. Bred for justice, trained in law, Dredd's no helpless rookie, but he's not the seasoned veteran we know either. Three tales follow the first adventures of the future city's greatest lawman. With an introduction by the Mighty Tharg! CITY FATHERS The brutal murder of a Justice Department-sanctioned spy uncovers something new and dangerous in the sector's murky black market. Unless Dredd can stop it, chaos will be unleashed. COLD LIGHT OF DAY A savage killing spree results in the deaths of two highly-regarded Judges, and many consider Dredd to be responsible: a decision he made five years earlier - while he was still a cadet - has come back to haunt him. WEAR IRON "Wear iron, that's the rule." Paul Strader is a stick-up man, and a stone cold professional. But when he gets in over his head, he has to risk everything on the word of a corrupt lawman and break every rule he has. Every rule but one...

Goodreads review by Alejandro on March 12, 2014

This a 4-issue mini-series by IDW Publishing. I was able to get them on single issues but I make the review on the TPB edition to be able to focus in one overall review. The bonus in getting the mini-series on single issues is the really striking covers with great art. The inside art is acceptable due......more

Goodreads review by Eric on February 04, 2014

I saw the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd movie as a teenager and was turned off by its campiness, and so -- despite my love of comics -- never bothered looking into the comic character it was based on. I didn't have very high hopes for the rebooted Karl Urban Dredd movie from last year, but heard po......more

Goodreads review by Robert on March 26, 2021

It's an ok story, although I prefer my Dredd stories not mucked up with psi-powers, but calling it Year One is annoyingly deceptive - it's not an origin tale at all and it isn't even JDs first year - a senior judge plainly states Dredd graduated a year ago. Unforced errors like this show the writers......more

Goodreads review by Alexander on April 16, 2019

I actually quite liked the story in this one, but the background that this supposedly is Dredd "fresh out of the academy" goes nowhere. The only reason you even know this is Year One Dredd, is because every few pages someone will call him a rookie, etc. Dredd as a character is exactly the same as he......more
