The code tag in your OP really messes with the formatting... I would put the Note outside of the tag. I picked up Case Files 2 - 5 and ordered America (more on that later) out of a sense of nostalgia from reading stuff at a friend's house in the 90s. I might have to pick up Case Files 1 too, since some of the stuff I vaguely remember wasn't in those (something about a rat-face dude?). I think The Judge Child was my favorite mega-epic; the more sci-fi tone of it was a welcome break from the oppressive city scenes. The Day The Law Died was my least favorite - it was more silly than funny; getting through that was a bit of a slog. The Judge Death stuff was the best mid-length stories. As for America? Well, I ordered it from Amazon on October 27th, but it hasn't shipped yet. Amazon even sent me an email wondering if I still wanted it. Maybe the container ship from the UK sank or something...

Judge Dredd never had any crossovers with Nemesis/ABC Warriors, right? I picked up Vol 1 of the Complete Nemesis (it looks like this is all the US has so far) and it's wonderfully insane. Kevin O'Neill's artwork reminds me a bit of Simon Bisley in ABC Warriors: The Black Hole.

Is it wrong that I prefer B&W comics? I just read America and it was (art-wise) merely OK by my neurotic standards. Color seems to necessitate less detail 90% of the time. Fading of the Light looked abysmal; haven't read Cadet yet but it seems a bit better (or maybe just less bad). To be fair, I'm not sure that art in Fading of the Light would have improved much in B&W. These are by far the newest Judge Dredd I've read; I've gone through the first 5 Case Files and I'm wondering whether I should continue with 6 when it comes out. I'm not sure I'm a fan of this more serious tone. Mega-City One seems too absurd a setting to try to play straight. It's also hard to reconcile stories involving rape that are in continuity with stories about killer interstellar crocodiles and interdimensional ghouls...

I finished Cadet and it might have been my favorite of the three. Judge Dredd gets to do actual detective work!  The rear end stabbing at the end was a nice touch to show that they don't take themselves entirely seriously.Dredd looked pretty good for a ~60 year old. Is there an in-universe explanation for that? Isn't he a clone or something?

Pretty sure they are identical other than the covers. They don't seem to be in a hurry to release stuff in the US, although I see case files 6 is available for pre-order. Nemesis only has the first book and none of the Strontium Dog books are over here. I kinda wonder if they ever will be.
