![]() There’s so many characters introduced, and so many oblique storytelling bits that it becomes overwhelming, and I love that. The first issue here is a headache in papery form. It’s fuelled by what I take to be an honest loathing of super-heroes, which is pretty unusual, as these things go. So… a comment on super-heroes and a side bar on the “serious” deconstruction of them, as in Watchmen and The One, for instance. Instead it’s a Watchmen … rip-off? I mean, it deals with many of the same issues as Watchmen, and it copies some of the storytelling quirks from Watchmen…īut instead of being all serious like Watchmen is, this is a goof. And I have to admit, when I first saw this, I was thinking “oh, dear, another Judge Dredd rip-off”.īut then it turns out to not be much like Judge Dredd after all. ![]() Crime and Punishment Marshal Law Takes Manhattan (1989),ĭC comics had brought in a number of British creators to great critical and commercial success, so I guess it was time for Marvel to do the same, so here’s Mills and O’Neill, veterans of 2000 AD etc. ![]()
