Great OP. What little of Dredd that I've been able to read has been great and the recent Dredd film definitely makes me want to pick up some Case Files.

I don't understand why they pulled them - the Burger Wars characters certainly fall under parody protection. I'm not so sure about the "Soul Food" characters, as they are the original mascots. I guess companies were less willing to screw with big corporations at the time.



IIRC, if you have enough money and expensive enough lawyers you can basically ignore parody law.

Dredd is funny because all of the crossover stories are within canon, which means Dredd has encountered Batman, Xenomorphs, Predators and Lobo.

And the Jolly Green Giant! The lawsuit that pulled the mascot comics from publication also resulted in a Dredd comic where Dredd and crew explain that the JGG supplies delicious peas and corn to Meg-1.

I like that as soon as they finish teaching them to talk they send them to the ghettos.
