and death inhabits the parallel dimensionbut they pop in on the city every now and then, which is more than Slaine and co does.
Speaking of Death, I didn't know there was a Stallone universe version:
Following the release of the Judge Dredd movie, a comic set in its continuity, entitled Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future, was published, and soon featured a story introducing this continuity's version of Judge Death. He remains a death-dispensing monster from another dimension, but in this storyline, he is actually an alternate-dimension incarnation of Dredd himself, who died in the line of duty, but was supernaturally resurrected through his undying desire to dispense justice.

That actually makes sense*Seeing as Dredd was always supposed to be the uberbastard.
*In a comic book kinda way.

And a Rogue Trooper / Dredd crossover in one of the specialsit was very much shoehorned in, mind. Can't recall Robo-Hunter being in any Dredd stories.
