UNDT Round 4 Heat 7: Judge Death vs Judge Anderson

[Colin YNWA]

In the Red corner using more 's's than Hissing Sid since Prog 149. He wants to touch your heart, but not in the charity appeal way. Its'

Judge Death (Judge Dredd) - more info

In the blue corner, she's been slipping in and out of comas since Prog 150. She's probably the only one who trusts this wasn't a fixed draw its

Judge Anderson (Anderson - Psi Division) - more info

Leave the name of the character you like most in a reply to this thread and I'll count up and call the winner early in the morning Friday 18th September.

'Rules' and what not, for what they are worth

And there's more about the structure of the tournament to be read

Anderson

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Two characters who (whisper it) dont really do a whole lot for me. So I'm voting Anderson but under the proviso that I'm voting explicitly for the *original* Anderson, who was part of those early Dredd stories as a supporting character . I dont really have any love for anything beyond that.

Judge Death has never been one of my favorite villains.  I agree with you SBT related to Anderson that her first solo series worked much better. It looks like in most cases no one knows what to do with her or rather how to handle her.

[Magnetica]

So it's the character invented to be the anti- Dredd versus the character invented to take him down.

So on that basis, Anderson wins.

This, more or less, except that she had a few great solo stories in the early years.  And I prefer Mortis to Death.

So, Anderson.

I'm in the other camp that LOVES both characters, comedic iterations and all. Death has an unbeatable visual design - in two forms no less! - but Anderson clearly has it over him in terms of personality and character development. I more or less agree that the last few years of Anderson stories have not been massively memorable, but she's still good in them. And for my money she's got a fascainting and consistent arc all the way from Judge Death to Lucid (Basically the whole of the first 4 Psi Files). Sure, a few duff stories along the way but that's a span of 26 years of comics, better than almost any comics character out there!

[abelardsnazz]

Hmmm. On the basis that her stories have covered a lot of topics, featured a fantastic array of artists, and reached an emotional centre that Dredd/Death stories sometimes don't, I'm going with Anderson.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Death

One of the greatest bad guys ever, IMO

[sheridan]

On the basis that Anderon's change in tone added depth rather than detracted from the original depiction (sssorry Sssidney), Cass gets my vote.

[paddykafka]

Judge Anderson.

[Tomwe]

This could be a close one I feel. I'm voting Judge Death. It's such a strong design and although his stories have worn out a tad he'll always creep me out!

Shake those cans of Boing and get those dimension traps ready as this one closes in the morning.
