![]() ![]() Overall a well made production of the great story that made me want to reread the comic. It does feel rushed in audio form and could have been adapted a little more. ![]() Although the comics script translates well to audio, that lack of visuals needs more than sound to flesh out the story that's being told. ![]() Alternatively it could be priced in a way similar to a big finish production. I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5 as I think, like the other adaptations in this series, this is too short, and should have included more. The production values are really strong, and there is a nice sense of tension when needed. it takes a while to get used to Dredd's performance, which is more Clint Eastwood than the deep growling voice we are used to, but it allows for more subtlety and humanity in his portrayal which works well. ![]() This is a solid adaptation of one of Judge Dress's most powerful and relevant story arcs.

This stereotypical characterization is annoying. And he has no qualms about killing a Navy SEAL, a young boy, or womenfolk. Well, I was not thrilled with the book because the “bad guy” is the Egyptian Muslim dude.

By 1519 it had a supreme court and a regional enforcement system ended feuding. ![]() An elective monarchy, the empire gradually developed from a feudal monarchy into a legal system that pacified the territories and cities of German-speaking Europe. Around 1500 the title Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was adopted. ![]() They claimed Charlemagne's legacy, including his role as protector of the papacy and guardian of the Church. Founded in 800 on the basis of Charlemagne's Frankish kingdom, its imperial title went to the German monarchy which became established in the ninth and ten centuries. ![]() but the empire's history and significance is still largely misunderstood.In this Very Short Introduction Joachim Whaley outlines the fascinating thousand-year history of the Holy Roman Empire. Since 1945 scholars have been more positive. German historians traditionally despised it because it had allegedly impeded German unification. Voltaire's description of the Holy Roman Empire as 'neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire' is often cited to underline its worthlessness. ![]() The Holy Roman Empire: A Very Short Introduction ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Peter Pan, there’s a memorable scene when Peter loses his shadow, and Wendy sews it back on for him.
