Volume 2 of the Mega Collection (not no.12 as some lists suggest - its a partwork, so published out of sequence). This continues the democracy theme begun in vol.1 and continuing through to vol.5. This one doesn't contain any long epics, but 10 shorter, sometimes linked, stories on the theme of democracy. The first 4 show the rise of the democracy movement. What jars slightly though is that Dredd is seen as very hardline in the first 2 and yet promoting a referendum in the third. Inbetween has come the whole Necropolis and Dead man stuff that would explain that change of heart. But we won't see those until books 4 & 5. Fun fact: The referendum story (choosing between judgement and democracy) was published in 1992, the year that white South Africans voted to end apartheid. After this, the fifth story unexpectedly jumps back in time for no very obvious reason. Stories, 7, 8 & 10 are on the theme of surveillance culture. Story no. 9 (John Casavetes is Dead) is a Farenheit 451 type story from a much earlier period. At the end is a feature on politics in 2000AD. The stories are all great and all of them contribute to the theme of democracy. But they would develop that theme far more coherently if this anthology placed them in the correct order and maybe explained what went in some of the gaps.
