This final volume of City Limits is a collection of the IDW Judge Dredd comics #13 through #30. A pretty thick book at over 400 pages and contains the rise and fall of Chief Judge Cal in it's entirety.
Good story and for the most part well illustrated. Not up to the standard of the original artists from the UK (Brian Bolland etc), but still pretty good.

I'm went into IDW's City Limits Volume 2 after reading 2000ad's complete case files 1 to 33. City Limits Volume 2 is alright. It was a much more enjoyable read for me compared to City Limits Volume 1. The characters were more accurate in the 2nd volume, and the stories were more interesting. As far as the story goes, it's a different take on Judge Cal with some Dark Judges running amok. If I'm comparing this IDW Dredd book to 2000ad's Dredd, I'd say it's not as good as most of 2000ad, but it's better than the Frankenstein division / Crusade slump.

A fine read for fans of the character that haven't dive in the years long history of 2000 ad. The second half of a two part epic that includes many traits of Dredd lore, and serve as a maxiseries that can let you have a vomplete story, or prepare you to the next chapters, if you want to continue reading the idw run.

This is another volume of Judge Dredd comics. I enjoyed the story lines in this volume. Judge Dredd Manhunt was my favorite. A heavy book, the comics are done well with great art work. It is hard to find Judge Dredd comics at least at my comic book store, but this was a find that was worth the wait.
