Not gonna lie: this was the bit about the premise that completely sold it for me. Edginton described Crixus in the thrillcast as the kind of guy that in any other story would've been killed by the hero ten minutes in. Just a full-on cannon fodder orc turned savior of the universe. But how? Read on...

Hey judge a question, is there any other stories with Emerald isle? Also where do i start if i want to read about the scottish judges.

There's "When Irish Pies Are Smiling", which was a Judge Joyce solo story in a special IIRC, and the much more recent "Blood of the Emeralds", a Carroll/MacNeil story that set up the Every Empire Falls epic.
As for scottish judges, Cal-Hab Justice in the Megazine is all you need.

>>90829495
Not JA but there's Cal-Hab Justice, a strip about the Judges in Scotland. IMO it's pretty fucking shit but YMMV.

Much later the Young Middenface stuff is sort of a future highland clearances story. Some of that is alright, some less so.

My two cents on it is that it's pretty fun and goofy for the first half, then tries way too hard to be a kind of broody dark Miracleman-esque romp and falls flat on its face.
Judge Buchan is cute as all Hell, tho'.

Right one looks like an Eldar starship if I've ever seen one.

>>90829718
>>90829757
I just found it really messy honestly. I liked the first story and thought it had some of the most "real people" Judge characters we've ever gotten, kilts and swords aside, but everything after that was tiresome as fuck. It's not the full parody of Murphyville but I don't think it really knows what it wanted to be.

I liked that neither of the Judges who survive in the first story is hypercompetent but also that it wasn't too bloody and it ends with a negotiation and a bit of clear-headedness. And then it's lol let's turn our MC into a real asshole and hey, remember Sabbat?

Oh yeah, on aggregate that's a long-ass story. Maybe the Slaine Brutannia Chronicles series, but that one is also 10-12 episode books with some wait between them.
