THE BATMAN/JUDGE DREDD FILES
Art: Simon Bisley/Carl Critchlow/Dermot Power/Glen Fabry/Jim Murray/Jason Brashill
Collects vol 1-3 of the Batman/Judge Dredd books. You won't find too many other books as beautifully illustrated as this one. Neither character has looked much better than they do in this trilogy of stories that take place in both Gotham and Mega City One (courtesy of a trans-dimensional device) that all tie in together as Batman and Dredd join forces to fight criminals, monsters and cyborgs with a few inevitable clashes of personality along the way.
Features the villains Scarecrow, Mean Machine, Riddler, Judge Death and The Joker.
Well written, gothic, violent, action packed and a decent sized read at over 200 pages this is definitely one book no fans of either character should be without.
SCORE 9/10 I've made a point of taking plenty of pictures from this book to give you a good idea of just how beautiful the artwork looks throughout all three stories. Enjoy.

Batman and Dredd have a decent old fashioned punch up in a children's playground as well as having to deal with the criminal ventriloquist dummy, Scarface in this short story set between vols 2 and 3 from the Batman/Judge Dredd graphic novel mentioned above.
Nice art and a good comedy brawl between the two characters. Not essential to the plot of the other book but certainly worth a look if you enjoy seeing the characters together.
Lastly, I don't normally like to give things away in my reviews but Dredd beats the tights off of Bats! Seriously, he hits him in the balls with a kids see-saw at one point!
SCORE 6/10
