Coming to you from the Dark Horse days of 1999, Enemy of the Empire is a mini that exists pretty much to show you who would win in a fight between Fett and Vader. It's a bit jokey, with a dark British sense of humor and a somewhat cartoonish aesthetic--judge for yourself if that's better than the corporate-mandated Landface that we're getting with Marvel Star Wars.

It's a good read, assuming you like to see Boba Fett doing his thing, but just to give you the highlight reel, here's Fett and Vader actually going at it.

Ten years ago to this day I picked up 2000ad again after seeing the following cover in the newsagents:

Who could say no to the Dark Judges coming back after so long away? Since then of course, in less than a decade they've reached over-saturation through the disappointing 'Dark Justice' and overly-fanservicy 'Fall of Deadworld'. Still, back then, ten years ago: awesome.

The Dark Judges are not in the scans that follow.

They crop up in the storyline that features - Chaos Day - but they are a minor part of events. Just goes to show how big a story it was, taking up most of a year as Mega City One deals with a pandemic and has to take measures to handle it. In some ways, eerily prescient of what has happened recently in the real world, in others, thankfully fanciful.

It is John Wagner writing, but still, given that 'Judge Dredd' advances in real time, and the current year for him is 2143, that reference back to 2108 is to a story from back in 1986, Prog 460. Even managed to get back the original artist from that story. Wow.

So, the conclusion of 'Now That's What I Call Justice':

Giant Clay was the star player of the Mega-City 1 Aeroball team the 'Harlem Heroes', who had a short-lived sports-focused strip in early 2000ad. When that strip was cancelled, Giant's son began to feature as Judge Giant, a jive-talking sidekick to Dredd back in the late seventies and early eighties. He died somewhat ignominiously, but then his son went on to become a judge as well.

Judge Giant II is still a judge to this day.

As a cadet, he faced down a Dark Judge during the Necropolis incident, 2000ad prog 689:

And only earlier this year, in Prog 2169, some small measure of justice was seen for his father's death.

Alas, this isn't the best sample of what he has achieved in his career with Justice Department, but he has definitely risen to become one of Mega-City One's top lawmen, still going strong to this day.
