Judge Cassandra Anderson has psychic powers that make her a considerable asset to the justice department. When she gets a psychic flash of a burglary at the Modern Museum she investigates and finds that a map has been stolen. Using her skills she gleans information from one of the perps that leads her to investigate the whereabouts of a master criminal.
This was a pretty good read; the story itself was fairly engaging but picked up considerably after the halfway mark. Character wise, Anderson is one tough chicky and it’s always great to see a strong female lead. Judge Dredd makes an appearance but his involvement didn’t really carry that much weight and without him the read wouldn’t have suffered. This is a positive for how well drawn the character of Anderson is.
The art was good but perhaps not quite to my personal taste, it was well drawn and characters were expressive without it being overdone. A good read that dragged storywise at the beginning but ended strongly.
Recommended.

Story: 3
Art: 5
A more than good Judge Anderson story with great art (but for the volume cover, single issues ones were faaarrr better) and a predictable Dredd cameo, but this mini-series from IDW comics lacks the Mega-City craziness from 2000 AD magazine classic stories and the dark fascist side of the Judges was blunted for good too.
Still a good read, but the original one is far better.

'Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-Division' is a story featuring Judge Anderson. While Judge Dredd makes a cameo, just realize he's not in this one much more than a few panels.
Cassandra Anderson has a gift of precognition, and when she sees that a robbery is going to take place at one of Mega-City One's museums, she's not above inconveniencing museum staff to save lives. When the robbers reveal a dangerous new weapon that Anderson is immune to, she knows it's up to her to stop it. This leads her on a hunt for a criminal overlord that may exist or may just be a ghost story that criminals tell each other (Keyser Soze anyone?). Her adventures lead her to desolate swamps and see her teaming up with some strange people, like a fellow judge from Texas who can track using something called psychic geography. Will her gut instincts and cognition prove correct, or will they lead her into a trap? And what does it have to do with her birth, if anything?
I like Judge Anderson, and I feel like the book has all the design elements of the world of Judge Dredd, but I felt something was lacking. Perhaps it was lacking Dredd's stony sobriety, or the weird humor that seems to show up in the boundaries of the stories. Still, it was interesting to learn more about Anderson, and it's not a terrible story. There are some nice twists and turns before it's all said and done.

Another multi comic book series published together as a single volume. I believe this is the first of a series of graphic novels from the same writers that are not that easy to find anywhere for a reasonable price.
This story revolves around a Psi powered master criminal who has apparently tangled with the judges before (other stories I have not read.) This time he has a plan to eliminate all the crime bosses in the city by using Psi powers to turn ordinary citizens into Psi powered criminals. Story wise this was not bad with a variety of things going on. Anderson ventures out of Megacity One and works with a Judge from Texas City to investigate the Alabama Morass, a vast mutant infested swamp.
For me the art was sometimes a bit simplistic and not a style that I can really appreciate, hence my 3 star rating.

Judge Anderson is a spin off character from the Judge Dredd universe who presents a softer more analytical side to the police state of the sprawling Mega-city one. She uses her psychic abilities to that enable her to read peoples minds to pursue Mega-Cities criminal class meaning that her cases are more analytical than Dredds and closer to modern day police work - psychic abilities aside - than the brutal police state that is Mega-City One. In itself that is a nice take on the Dredd universe but this book suffers from being too short and underselling her strongest assets, namely her psychic powers and her strength as a detective. Also the villain of the book feels lighter than he could have been if there were more than four chapters and a good cop story always needs an evil villain to build up the tension of the story. This book tries it's best to build up a mystery around the villain but his motives never are to clear and thus his actions are not quite evil or shadowy enough to make the reader love or hate him. But this is still a good book. Matt Smith is a quality writer who uses the comic-book medium well. There is some clunky dialogue in this book as the writer tries to be too cool in creating a new street-tough lingo of the future. Sometimes he reaches too far but as a whole the thought panels and interaction between characters are all quality. Judge Anderson is a well drawn character who is smart, competent and tough and despite the short length the reader gets to see a character that is both complete and unique and well worth the time I spent with her.
The artwork is this books strongest selling point. The lines are all clean and the color palette covers the range of what can be done. The characters are clearly defined and the carnival of citizens in Mega-City one - including mutants and mobsters - are all well imagined. The city itself is not a major force in this book as it is in the best Dredd stories but it does play a part although it is cleaner and brighter than the decaying megalopolis that I'm use to. In some panels Mega-City One almost sparkles. But the use of shadow for atmosphere and the is exceptional and the scenes were her psychic abilities are unleashed are impressive the artwork may be the only thing that didn't suffer too much by the shortness of the book and easily earned it an extra star.
This book is good but it could have been so much better if only a few more chapters were added in to beef up the villain and support characters and if the forced future talk was toned down. I can't say it's a bad book - because it certainly isn't - and Judge Anderson is an interesting character it just felt to me like this book was less than it could have been.

A decent but standard adventure for the cutest psi-judge out there (current cover excepted). With psi-bombs and an attack on a museum that leaves it minus just one map, there's a fair bit of mystery for her to get through, but the four snappy issues don't really take us too far. Where it does go is in affirming that these modern titles are almost as good as anything from the pages of 2000AD, meaning they should not be dismissed out of hand. The artwork is there, the swear words have changed for the worse and some of the invention in the Meg society is lacking, but the drama is just as high.

I was first introduced to Cassandra Anderson from the reboot movie Dredd starring Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby. When I was given the opportunity to read Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-division, I was excited to follow more adventures of the character as a Judge. Overall, it was a bit disappointing but I think this was because I had higher expectations. The investigation jumped around a bit and the final confrontation with the big bad fell flat. With such a large lead in I was looking forward to a bigger and better fight. Take it or leave it, I’ve read a lot worse. This one falls somewhere in the middle.

Liked it well enough considering I haven't read any Dredd comics before, I definitely feel like I've read much, much better different comics before. The story and graphic were okay but never seemed to completely grab my attention. Main culprit is probably that it wasn't my usual preference in comics. It was worth a chance just wasn't able to follow through.

Every Surprise Was A Good One
I wasn't sure what to expect going in to this book. "Judge Dredd" always reminds me of the Sylvester Stallone vehicle, and that's not a good thing. (His Judge Dredd movie was practically in negative numbers at "Rotten Tomatoes".) Well anyway, guess what? The Judge Dredd comic world is a very sophisticated and accomplished one, and its Judge Cassandra Anderson spin-off, (of which this book is the latest example), is particularly well crafted. Apparently, Sly did not kill off this franchise. And now I see why it has its fans.
Here's the set up. Judge Cassandra Anderson, (a "judge" is basically a cop with on the spot, in the field, judicial authority), is a member of the PSI Division of the Justice Department of Mega-City One. We are in an anarchic post-Apocalyptic world; the U.S. is gone except for a few cities separated by vast emptinesses. Cassandra is aptly named because like her mythical namesake she has psychic powers, is telepathic, is a pre-cog, and is able to sense approaching danger. An orphan, she was taken in by the Justice Department because of these abilities and was practically raised by the organization.
Anderson was introduced to the Judge Dredd world as a sort of thinking man's foil to the black-and-white Judge Dredd and there are a bunch of earlier books in which she is basically Dredd's sidekick. Anderson was then spun off to be a featured character and this book is her latest appearance as a major and central character in the Judge Dredd universe. This book was written by Matt Smith, who seems to now be the primary writer guiding the development of this character, and was drawn by Carl Critchlow, also an Anderson veteran. So the story is in good hands.
So, after all of that, is the book any good? Yes. Here's the author's description of the story - "It starts with Cass getting a psi-flash of a heist at the opening of an exhibition of Cursed Earth antiquities at the Megapolitan Museum of Modern History. Investigating, she discovers perps attempting to steal a map while a mutant has psychically blacked out the whole area, rendering everyone unconscious. In a bid to find out what the criminals needed the map for, she goes on their trail." Cassandra travels to the Alabama Morass, (basically a mega-Okefenokee), partners with a local cop with psycho-geographic powers, (basically, she tracks and guides through psychic links with the environment itself), and it's all swamp, mutants, bad guys, action and heart-of-darkness atmosphere from there. Original and engaging. And once we leave the swamp we're on the trail of a mysterious master criminal, so it's all good.
I particularly like the fact that Cassandra is not burdened with a lot of phoney baloney angst. She and her new partner work well together without any unnecessary drama. There is a fair amount of monologuing and exposition, which brings new readers up to speed but doesn't drag on or weigh down the story. Judge Anderson is tough, competent, resourceful, and not tarted up with any phony baggage. She's a straight up heroine.
This is all enhanced by good quality drawing. Characters are recognizable and expressive, action is clear, coloring is good, and the panels are consistent from page to page. Mutants, creatures and the like are well conceived and executed.
So, an overall nice piece of work, both graphically and in terms of story and character. A happy find. (Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book. )

An interesting story that dives into the backstory of Judge Anderson while she investigates a psychic weapon being used by an underground character.
It all start when Anderson gets a premonition about a museum. Deciding to go there (just in case), she runs into a psychic who unleashes a blast that incapacitates the people (include the Judges) at the museum; except her. The psychic blasts turns out to be the start of an unusual robbery that she tries to stop but fails.
As she investigates further, she gets a lead that takes her to Texas City and a swamp where a tribe of psychic people live until they were massacred, except for a few captured and bought back to Mega City One. That would lead her to a shadowy underground figure whose existence is known to Justice Department for some time; since Anderson's birth, for a strange reason.
As she dig deeper to find the missing psychics and flush out the mysterious figure, she discovers corrupt links inside Justice Department itself. Then, psychic blasts began around the City. Forced to investigate by herself, she is captured by the figure and learns the truth about her own background. In the end, the case is resolved.
In terms of storytelling, the investigative first half is intriguing. But the second half, where Anderson goes after the figure after his existence is made known to her, and his motive for using the psychics, is somewhat underwhelming, compare to the various 'capers' she gets up to in other stories.
The revelation of her backstory has it's interesting points but they are not resolved in this story. That probably needs another set of stories to be resolved.

Picks up the threads of the story arc in Year One with Ashberry, the time travelling heistmaster. Other than an odd side-jaunt in the Alabama Morass (how excellent a place!), lots of megacity psi action. Pretty entertaining stuff, which a great heroine, who is way more likeable than Dredd.

August 24, 2023A sequel to Dredd: Year One for which I'm not sure anyone bar the writer was crying out. The antagonist at least makes more sense for a psychic lead, though the fiddling with her origin adds nothing to the character, and even when this first came out it was too late to have an in-world phenomenon called the Black Mirror. Still, always good to see Carl Critchlow art, even if I'd obviously much rather he were working on more Lobster Random.

Міцно скроєна і намальована не дуже оригінальна історія із всесвіту судді Дредда, де той лише камео.
Головна героїня—дівчина з телепатичними здібностями, яка веде розслідування, крок за кроком наближаючись до останньої сторінки.
Не мій тип історії, а років у 12–17 зайшло б.

I'm always wary of the IDW Americanised version of the Dredd universe, but needn't have worried here as 2000AD regulars Matt Smith and Carl Critchlow take the reins here for an entertaining Anderson thriller.

Loved the story and the link to her own background, what more could you ask, with a little twist and kick back at the end.

*** I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ***
I like to go into reading a comic book with as little information as possible. In this case, I know nothing about Judge Dredd and his reality, I just figured the main character in this story is a woman and that might or might not turn out all right.
And this one did. Judge Cassandra Anderson belongs to the Psi-Division and is very good in what she does. When she discovers possibility of psi-bombing in a museum, she gets on a trail of the King of the Six Sectors. And decides to take him down.
There's sometimes a problem with female super heroes (heroines? sounds to much like a drug). They are, just like any normal woman, not always treated equally. Not all of their stories are build on them. They happen to be victims of circumstance, always in the shadow of their male co-heroes.
This is thankfully not the case. Anderson is good at what she does and people around her know that. They act accordingly. And I think that's what makes this comic book so good. You don't feel cheated in any way.
And I liked Carl Critchlow's illustrations. The colour schemes were great and the drawing style fits the futuristic world amazingly!

In this side story of the Judge Dredd universe, we follow Judge Anderson of the Psi-Division as she tries to take down the boogeyman for all the criminals in Mega City. Using her psychic powers she goes out and kicks some serious real and psychic ass.
I loved that the story was beginning and end, no cliffhanger, no waiting for the next volume; however, what I did not like was that we get all this hinting at who her parents were and what might have happened to them, but no answer.
Overall, it was really good, the art was great; I love that post-apocalyptic earth looks very wild west mixed with grimy earth. The book ain't that long and there is a lot of internal dialogue, so if you hate books where the lead character has internal monologues you might not like this.

Cassandra Anderson was born during a time of turmoil. As part of the Psi Division of the Judges, she reports strange dreams, feelings etc. and then acts upon them. On such dream led her to a Museum function where a heist happened. Following info obtained from a dying brain, she headed into the Alabama Swamp. There she picked up an unseen passenger that helped guide her to a master criminal seeking to take over the city and the world. With assistance, the criminal was stopped, but left Anderson with plenty of questions.

Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-Division is a great tale of Mega City showing Judge Anderson branching out as an equal to Dredd! :D At the same time the plot in relentless and pacy with the art aiding the script clearly and brilliantly! :D The plot is break neck showing us the Judges in action and at the same time showing us insights into the past and setting up further plots about the past of Anderson and Dredd's involvement in clever, funny, fast-paced, action packed way! :D Brilliant and highly recommended! :D

Anderson is a gun–welding futuristic F.B.I Cop. She was tough and had no patience for nonsense. Make the wrong move and she would blast you! The bad guy was creepy and made me scared a little when I first saw him. The art is gritty and realistic. Overall it was good a comic book.

Anderson is one of the best characters to come out from the Judge Dress roster, so this might've been a good read.
But no. Why is it that every US version of 2000AD characters just isn't right. They have way too much US feel in them when characters talk endlesly. The art is good, but the over all feel is just off.
I think I shall give up 2000AD by IDW.

I have read much better Anderson stuff.
These American iterations of the Dredd franchise just aren't quite right... they're not doing it for me.
This was at least a lot better than the IDW Dredd series, which was beyond awful.

An interesting story and good art. Not Anderson at her sexiest, but clear, straightforward and effective work that kept the story moving and informed at the right places.
