Alright, might as well put this here I guess since it's a Judge Dredd thread, but I'm reading
"America", from the first issues of the Judge Dredd Megazine, and it was sold to me as one of the best Dredd stories, something mature and just plain great. And yet it feels like the most cliched, self-important nonsense that could ever be written about anything, and which should never have come out of Judge ****ing Dredd of all things. Like, as far as I've known, Dredd has always been about satirizing America and encroaching autocracy, and it did so brazenly and without artifice, while having the most ridiculous laugh about it. But this story is pretending like doing the same damn thing and being completely humorless about it is somehow creative and not just annoying.
Am I crazy or is "America" ****ing lame?
