2000ad - Lawless Storytime Part 2

>'Lawson'

Does he know who she really is? - could get messy. Then Pettifer would have to squeegee out the cell after.

Judges need to be sure they can't execute someone if they have doubt.
Also the guy work for the company building the town so she need proof otherwise the SJS will start to investigate her.

It's so weird that we got two series about hard-edged space sheriff ladies at around the same time. I love both of them to bits, especially now that Copperhead is actually back.

>>92788081
The best a judge can hope for without evidence is to detain the suspect until they crack and confess, which is a very wide-spread tactic in Justice Dept. But if the subject has good lawyers and keeps his mouth shut during interrogation, he might just slip through the cracks.

>>92788098
Is it good ? I like futuristic take on western.

It's good but it's also pretty slow burn, more understated and gritty. Very much character-focused. I'd say give it a shot.

>>92788538
I will, it look interesting.

>>92786606
And which chater is this marine suppose to be?

>>92788477
Copperhead's not bad. Spoilt by the way she has a competent deputy in Boo though.

Said it last thread too but this is some of my favourite Abnett work in a long time. This and Brink are highlights of 2000AD and the Meg for me right now, along with the Deadworld stories.

>>92791555
>2000AD ripped off 40k

>>92794390
It is fairly obvious that 40k was "inspires" by 2000ad. But Dan Abnett a lot of times writes histories that, albeit Good, seem better at work in the w40k universe

>>92794739
Oh, actually Dan Abnett did hugely rip off 40k for at least one story he did, the Durham Red in the future one. The crusader soldier guys even used guns called bolters.

That said I don't agree this story works better in the w40k universe, certainly not more so than any Dredd story does.

>>92794390
Go look at the Arbites in 40K then come back

>>92784215
What are the rules about lusting after Marshals?

>>92795189
Gorillas only.

Link to last thread? Wanna make sure I didn't miss anything.

>>92784330
I can't tell if Pettifer is noticeably overweight or if it's just the art style.

I mean, my dick isn't arguing, but still.

>>92796899
Actually scratch that, >>92784334 makes it kind of obvious.

>>92784345

>>92794783

Now I'm wondering what they did with the other lady who wanted to be sheriff. She isn't seen in the jail... did they just send her packing?

>I want to fuck the deputy's fat ass
I know that feel bro, the thicc is too much.

>megazine has lawless's tubby deputy judge

Is 2000AD the most inclusive comic of all?

>>92784345
Uh oh.

>>92784470
Man this shit hits all my buttons. Apocalyptic future, robots, non-human characters, western aesthetics. Must be why I like Copperhead so much.

I don't think anyone's ever got a copy of the Frame-based computer font, but apparently if you can find a copy of the font CCMarianChurchland, it's pretty damn close, with the most notable difference being uppercase Y's.

No prob, I stumbled onto it the other day when looking for a more suitable font to use when making shitty edits for edit/template/"fill in this character's face"/etc threads. Like I said it's not exact, but it's close enough for horseshoes.

>>92810525
Most people's hair can't even get that long if they tried, it stops growing fast enough to do much more than replace dead hair past a point.

>>92810934
Yeah, but that's what I mean, fiction isn't limited by stuff like that.

That was harder than I thought. Without any of the books saved I had to rely on google image search, and I couldn't find a lot of the characters at a decent resolution. Someone else is welcome to try and make a better version.

>>92811447

You might want to name the judges in each quadrant.

>>92811006
Pretty much any female Judge you see is already pure fiction, given that as soon as women get abs they tend to lose their tits.

The Dreddy-bear ought to be a real thing. Have a pullcord on the back so it can recite some of Dredd's best known lines at random:

> "You're under arrest, creep."
> "I am the Law!"
> "The perp was uncooperative."
> "Gaze into the plushie of Dredd!"

That's 'Lawson', Anon.

Wonder what she'd do if pic related turned up on Badrock?

> 'Lawson': "Rightio, Pettifer. I'm off to the Badlands for a vacation - you and Jaroo can run the shop while Imma gone."

TBF I don't think Anderson would give a fuck who the Marshall used to be and would fail to report it.

Same reason a lotta cops hate Internal Affaris division, plus long, long, looong-standing grudges from the Cal era. SJS in general are seen as duplicitous, back-stabbing motherfuckers just aching for a chance to lock judges up for the smallest of grievances. It doesn't help that they also run random stress tests where they'll kidnap a judge and interrogate them for days just to see if they're up to it.
In Lawless, particularly, they're also hated for the Zhind War thing from Insurrection, where the SJS went full Inquisition and sent a massive fleet to punish a rebel colony.
