What Defines a Dredd Epic?

[Richard]

Not an epic then.

This is how I see it:

1 part story one shot
2 to 4 part story multi-part
5 to 6 parts mini-series
7 to 11 parts maxi-series
12 to 20 parts epic
Above 21 parts mega-epic

I like this. No ambiguity.

I second this, an easy way to judge if a story is an epic or not. A simple classification tool. Where do I sign?

If we're going to go all taxonomic on it I would add there needs to be more than just one artist over its run:

{artists}⊂{parts} > 1,  ∀ {parts} > 20

Necropolis? All Ezquerra. Epic!

Good point, I will refine it so:

∃{God}=Esquerra ∴ {artist}⊄{God}|{artists}⊂{parts} > 1,  ∀ {parts} > 20

That formula is pure wizardry! Nailed it.

Formula is supoib, but Shirley Apocalypse War, Necropolis and Origins get around the single artist thing anyway by having integrated prologue sections (Block Mania, (Tale of) the Dead Man, The Message)?
