Japanese Judges have to contendwith violent crime and ancient tradition in a collection of fast-paced tales. Set in the universe of Judge Dredd , but taking placein a very different kind of city, this is a whole new brand of justice... WAY OF THE (CYBER) SAMURAI! Hondo City is the Japanese equivalent of Mega-City One – a large, sprawling urban mass policed by a Justice Department. Culturally however, it is totally different. While on the forefront of modern technology, the Hondo-citizens remain tied to the roots and customs of feudal Japan. Though the Samurai-like Judge Inspectors are seen to be in charge, the Yakuza crime Syndicates still have a hold on power. Here is a slice of Hondo City law… Featuring thrilling stories by John Wagner ( A History of Violence, Judge Dredd ) and Robbie Morrison ( The Authority, Shakara ), this collection also contains stunning artwork from Frank Quitely ( All-Star Superman, We3 ) and Andy Clarke ( Detective Comics, Batman and Robin ).
