Apocalypse and architecture
Judge Dredd: Crusade and Frankenstein Division by Morrison-Millar-Esquerra-Austin, Php794 at National Bookstores.
A Mega-City One Judge who vanished on a space mission 15 years earlier suddenly sends a transmission to base: he has spoken to God. Then his ship crashes in the Antarctic. All the Mega-Cities dispatch their best Judges to the crash site to recover whatever he found in space. Naturally they’ll have to fight for the thing, and only one Judge will survive. Will it be Dredd, or that nasty Inquisitor Cesare from the Vatican? Bloody mayhem ensues, but we didn’t have to point that out.
Batman: Death by Design by Chip Kidd and Dave Taylor, hardcover Php1015 at National Bookstores.
Imagine a Batman movie from the 1930s or 40s, black and white, starring Gary Cooper as Bruce Wayne and Grace Kelly as a socialite campaigning to preserve important buildings. Throw in an intrepid reporter, an embittered genius, a self-promoting artist-celebrity (Kem Roomhaus hehe), a corrupt union boss, a certain mass-murdering psychotic, and an ambitious architectural project. Enjoy.
