In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was England's Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap tower blocks. Embedded in the grubby amber of the district's narrative, among its saints, kings, prostitutes and derelicts, a different kind of human time is happening. Through the labyrinthine streets and minutes of Jerusalem tread ghosts that sing of wealth and poverty, of Africa, hymns and our threadbare millennium.

World's changing. Doesn't mean Dredd has to. Mega-City One, 2082. In two short years, Judge Joseph Dredd has tackled hardened killers and would-be revolutionaries; he's taken beat-downs and bounced back; and he's even arrested his own brother. There's no such thing as a 'normal year' in the Big Meg. In his third year on the sked, he'll become embroiled in the growing anti-robot movement; he'll head back out to the Cursed Earth; and he'll fall afoul of the secretive SJS - and not for the last time....

Summary
A galaxy-spanning story and comics' first bona fide feminist space opera, The Ballad of Halo Jones is the first true epic to grace the bibliography of arguably the greatest comic book writer the world has ever known.
Bored and frustrated with her life in 50th-century leisure-ghetto housing estate 'The Hoop', 18-year-old everywoman Halo Jones yearns for the infinite sights and sounds of the universe. Pledging to escape on a fantastic voyage, she sets in motion events unimaginable; a spell on a luxury space-liner, a brush with an interstellar war - Halo Jones faces hardship and adventure in the name of freedom in the limitless cosmos.
Featuring Sheila Atim as Halo Jones, alongside Ellie Kendrick, Kemah Bob, Michael Fenton Stevens and Yaz Zadeh, with an exciting accomplished cast, existing fans of Halo and newcomers alike will be transported to The Hoop and beyond in an immersive listening experience like no other.

Halo Jones, childhood hero, comes to life
So I bought the Halo Jones Audio Book on Audible and pretty much listened to it in one stint.
Now I've been a massive Halo fan since it first came out (I was just 16). I have the full graphic novel on my book shelf still.
My son was never into Comic Books as a kid but Halo was the one I DID insist he read :)
So, how was it?
Excellent. I thought the actors really brought the characters to life and sounded pretty much as I used to imagine them. I liked the addition of Halo narrating certain parts (It was a comic strip!) but doing it as she was writing letters.
They were so believable that my memory often brought back some of the images from the strip - especially the war on Moab.
It ended well and I'm sure people new to Halo will be saying "Okay, what happened next? When do we get Part 2?" - I'd have to be gentle and say, we've been waiting 35 years for Volume 4, don't hold your breath.....
Overall, I'd have to give it 10/10. It brought one of my childhood favourites to a whole new level and I'm not really sure how it could have been better.

Solid adaptation of a classic
This is a decent adaptation of the 2000ad classic. The performances are strong and sound and music complimentary. Chapter three works very well for the format. The down side is that this is a little too faithfull to the comic, a little extra narration in chapters one and two would have helped clarify what was going on in a couple of places.
Given the short run time, I'd have liked more from this to justify the price, such as behind the scenes interviews. That said, this is a 2000AD classic with Alan Moore bringing his creative brilliance, well worth a listen.
