As always very interesting and action full collection of stories from Judge Dredd universe.
Title story (Guatemala) finds Dredd acting on his late friend's last wish that happens to coincide with the Mega-City strategic goals - he leaves for Guatemala, country now ruled completely by robots. In a parody of Central and South America dictatorship Dredd will uncover some pretty ghastly things about the robot government and what needs to be done to stop them from threatening Mega-City. Excellent story with pretty good art.
Other stories are not related to Guatemala story-line. It is collection of various different stories set in the different times and places (story of Harry was .... insane) culminating with all out fight in one of the posh mega buildings taken by the terrorists. Reminiscent of the cyberpunk game action we follow slow deploy of Justice troops to take back the control of the building while stubber guns criss-cross and cut through entire concrete blocks. Art int his last story was on par with the title story. Others were not that catchy (to me) but they are signature art of AD2000 comics.
All in all very interesting collection that I found very entertaining. If you look for a collection of stories linked by the same topic (like collected stories of Dredd's actions in Soviet/Russian parts) you will be disappointed. If you look for overall good collection of Dredd's actions, some even more paramilitary than usual - you will enjoy this one.
Recommended to all fans of Dredd universe.
