>I dunno about the Judges not being able to afford to lose a single cadet purely cos theyre good...

The point is if she leaves the Judges she may become the spearhead of a reactionary group which really would be something the judges would have little control over.

As the America storyline suggests, better the devil you know. At least with her as a judge she is a part of the system and may be a good mediator/negotiator between the judges and other opposition groups.

She may be a born leader.

I thought Cadet part 1 was excellent, it's a good counter story to Origins & develops the character of Cadet Beeny brilliantly. I like the way Wagner is handling the characters & story. It doesn't need to be epic to be brilliant -thankfully it's not just a rehash of America parts 1 & 2.

I presume America Beeny will more & more become an important character as the years go on. It seems it's her intelligence and aptitude that keeps her in the academy. The judges can't afford to lose her and they know it.

>Hang on - Dredd was born before the war?! How the hell did I read 2000AD all this time without realising that?!

His birth date is in the Mutie the Pig story.

>Would I be right in thinking that Dredd and the Wiseheads are the same age? How's that for weird.

I believe Dredd is slightly older because he was born before the war in 2066, the elders were born just after 2070.

Wake's Dredd badge leaves the other ones for dust.

That is fuckin' amazin' lookin'.

I'm buyin' one.

>If i say yes, then i expect a FANTASTIC birthday present Mr Carter.

Give her a Dredd badge.

 >and maybe letting mutants into the Meg after Dredd discovers HE is a mutant... ?

Ha, Dredd a mutant? Bollocks

>Tracer?

I noticed that Moebius Batman rip-off too.

>Did you actually *read* the rest of my post?

Yeah, but the mention of transplants turns me right off an theory.

>Which, from the perspective of a 128-year-old, is pretty attractive.

After a 128 years, most of it in the Cursed earth, I think I'd rather die.

I'd rather it turned out to be the real Fargo than some duplicate.

>Will Fargo's brain be transplanted into Dredd's younger, fitter body?




Dredd's younger, fitter body?  

What? The man's 60.

>Basically my theory as well, although coupled with the brain transplanty thingy...

Please, no more about brain transplants. It aint' gonna happen.

I think the THX 1138 re-do is the only successful thing Lucas has done since the Empire Strikes Back.

>Well, we are. Origins is here and there's more goodness on the horizon.

America III too.

>And I've only been told this by a friend of mine and haven't seen any press confirming it so apologies if it's just rumour but apparently sales of Moore's Lost Girls have been banned in the UK by the Barrie Estate/holders of the copyright to Peter Pan (which I thought was Great Ormond Street).

Great Ormond St. only has the rights to the original play production of Peter Pan, not the novel or character.
