Ratings and reviews

Simon Bisley's backgrounds taking center stage, with hero bashing straight out of "The Boys." I'm also reminded of Martin Emond's Lobo comics. In other words, great story, plenty to find in the artwork, and a fun poke at super heroes laced with the dark undertones of reality... I loved it!!

one of the craziest funniest awesome intelligent graphic novels since watchman. IN a world of super-heroes manufactured by (cereal box)companies and every where polluting the other wise plasteen environment of the future city, addicted psycotic explosive they are slightly annoying and over powering. the corrupt franchise that owns their rights have religion on there side and seem to somehow find time and places to live in the unreal entity they have created along with a public hero (the public spirit) condemned to be tormented by the police that is MARSHAL LAW a returning space mission to the furthest star to earth and a super-villain commiting crimes of passion in and around the city on COSTUMED HEROES they're really is only one. the incredible the awesome the stunning. MARSHAL LAW.

Loved the fear and loathing Marshall Law graphic novel, this is that plus a lot more. A must read for anyone, but especially Judge Dress fans and fans of Commissary Ciaphas Kane from the wh40k world for his Arbitrator foreboding tribute to Dredd
