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.Cream_Filling posted:I've always thought of the Cursed Earth as the libertarian hellhole equivalent to the nanny state hellhole of Megacity One. Giant corporations literally running amok. Question: Is the Megazine a collection of 2000AD strips, or are they standalone stories?

Are the Case Files in sequential order, or are they more "Best of" collections? I'd like to have something a bit easier to read... VVV Thank you for the clarification. VVV berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jan 23, 2013 |

Not to derail, but if you guys like the Dredd comics, you might want to check out Marshal Law. It's written by Pat Mills and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill, both of whom worked on the Dredd comics. Imagine Judge Dredd and Watchmen had a baby, and you'll kind of get what Marshal Law is. It's very heavy parody, and carries over some of the best things about the Judge Dredd character (which makes sense, since they share a writer.)

I just noticed that on the cover of Day of Chaos, Dredd's Lawgiver actually looks like a real gun. When was it redesigned?

david_a posted: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.

I haven't gone through all 11 pages of the thread, but if it hasn't been mentioned before, the Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD documentary is really good so far (I'm about 30 minutes in.) It's got surprisingly high production values, and the opening credit animations are great. I pretty much only read Judge Dredd, but the whole origin of 2000AD is pretty interesting.

Jedit posted:The Dead Man was collected as a separate volume. It's absolutely worth picking up, and it wasn't included in the CFs because they ran concurrently with Dredd rather than in main continuity. John Ridgway was a great artist - I say was, he's not dead but is mostly retired now.

I picked up Origins. Am I alone in thinking that it really wasn't all that great? Yeah, it was cool seeing some of the back story fleshed out, but I really didn't think it was all that well written - one glaring instance was the gang that attacks the Judges twice, both times ending in someone asking for help, and both times a Judge shooting them. It's like Wagner forgot they already did that scene. And, oh lord, the chin mutation. I really think they could have done a better story in half the page count. Or maybe I just forgot about how silly Cursed Earth stories are...
