Judge Dredd: Sin City; Case for the Defence; Reprisal; The Trial of Orlok; Jumped; Lawcon [notes 3] At the start, they hadn't quite worked out all the details. For instance, the characters live in "The Mega City" (rather than Mega-City One) and it says that judges are elected (rather than being trained since they were children). Still, those are just minor points. Judge Giant Junior. The 1989 story "Young Giant" [75] establishes Judge Giant fathered a child in 2101 before his death, despite judges being prohibited from marrying and/or creating families. Orphaned when his mother was murdered in front of him shortly after the Apocalypse War in 2104, Giant's son "Junior" is inducted into the Academy of Law. Years later, the ten-year-old Cadet Giant is supervised on a field test by Judge Dredd, who notes the cadet performs extremely well but has unresolved rage regarding the murder of his mother. With Dredd's help, Giant Jr. brings in his mother's killer according to proper protocol rather than simply hunting the man down and executing him. Giant Jr. spends the next several years as a cadet, helping Dredd on different occasions such as during the "Necropolis" affair and "Judgement Day." Five years after his introduction, Giant Junior's final assessment is conducted by Judge Dredd and he becomes a Street Judge in 2116, the youngest to do so at age 15. [76] On the other hand, there's some genuinely good stories here as well. The best of the first Complete Case Files are the stories that have a serious core: Judge Dredd facing down his brother Rico, Judge Dredd training a new cadet, and Judge Dredd fighting an evil former friend at the Academy are all excellent stories. Still, this isn't the Dredd we know yet. The series can't figure out its tone and whether its bleaky humorous or humorously bleak.

This was a tough read right up until the last few stories. The stories were still shit, don’t get me wrong, but something changed. Dredd is fascist, man. There is no other way to say it. The man was always an arsehole throughout this book but the last couple of stories, he changed. He gave a guy 6 months for littering, the littering being his attempted suicide. 5MPH under the speed limit? Banned from driving for 12 years! Holy shit guys, I think Dredd might be both the hero and villain here. I know next to nothing about the character so I don’t know if I’m off here but I think things are going to be interesting going forward.

Judge Kraken. Another clone of Chief Judge Fargo, decades younger than Joe Dredd but otherwise identical in appearance and similar in skill. Kraken was created by Morton Judd, the geneticist who cloned and named Joe and Rico Dredd. Kraken was one of the Judda, clones subservient to Judd. After Judd's defeat, Kraken is groomed to one day succeed Dredd and trained to become a Judge, though Dredd believes he isn't mentally fit. When Dredd first temporarily quits, Chief Judge Silver makes Kraken a Judge and has him impersonate Dredd so others won't know that one of Mega-City's greatest lost faith in the system. Kraken is then manipulated and corrupted by the Dark Judges, forced to help them temporarily turn Mega-City One into Necropolis, leading to the deaths of 60 million. After the Dark Judges are defeated, Kraken's mind is free and he peacefully accepts execution by Dredd.

So it’s a weird old thing reading a young and still not quite Dredd like Dredd.
