A. Rivera reviewed Dreadnoughts by John Higgins
Review of 'Dreadnoughts' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Quick impressions: Overall, the stories are a fairly quick read. The comics are fast paced with good art. As I mentioned, we get a blend of police procedural and dystopia. "The Avalanche," the prose piece excerpted, is pretty good too but the excerpt ends as the pace starts to pick up. The works are good, but I would like to see more of the series to see if they get any better. For now, I do like them. Fans of the Judge Dredd series may be interested in this series. However, this series is accessible enough you can pick it up and enjoy it with minimal or no knowledge of Judge Dredd.
For libraries with graphic novel collections, I'd consider this as optional. In my situation, I'd acquire it for our library if a patron requested it.
