!!This comic provides examples of:

* BadassAndChildDuo: Judge Fairfax takes it upon himself to protect [[TheChosenOne Jess]] after her entire family has been murdered by the Dark Judges and their acolytes.
* EvilMentor: In Law School, Fairfax was the favorite protegé of none other than [[OmnicidalManiac Judge Death]], the monster who is destroying that world. Death still wants Fairfax back in his inner circle as his fourth lieutenant.
* EyeScream: In Part 2, a young Judge-Tutor Sidney De'ath (aka Judge Death) is shown "building morale" among a bunch of cadets (hinted to be the other three Dark Judges) by mutilating them, one by scooping out the kid's eye with a spoon.
* ForegoneConclusion: A dystopian future where the world is ruled by a totalitarian government run by Judges. Judges having total control over all aspects of the law as well as being judge, jury and executioner. Sound familiar? Well, one day a Judge, Sidney Death, comes to the conclusion that since all crime is committed by the living, life itself a crime--punishable by death. A supernatural force comes into play, allowing Judge Death to take control of the government and enforce his law. This leads to the creation of the Dark Judges. With their rise comes the eventual extinction of humanity. The story follows regular people trying to survive, rebels seeking to overthrow the government, and ex-Judges trying to stop Judge Death. Among other things. It's also frustrating because you get attached to some of the characters but you know how it will end.
* JustBeforeTheEnd: It's already established that the Dark Judges exterminated their entire homeworld before their very first appearance in ''Judge Dredd'', but this story arc shows the apocalypse slowly unfolding.
* ALoveToDismember: A variant in the second story, where the [[LosingYourHead still-conscious]] head of a recently-zombified evil Judge is cut off by his female colleague, who then kisses him before putting it on a spare body.
* PetRat: Judge Fairfax was the Chief Judge's "fixer" before the coup d'etat staged by the Dark Judges. This is why Judge Death is interested in turning Fairfax into his fourth main lieutenant.
* {{Prequel}}: ''Dreams of Deadworld'' and ''Fall of Deadworld'' are stories set on the homeworld of the Dark Judges before they travelled to Judge Dredd's dimension.
* PresidentEvil: Inverted. There's a U.S. President leading LaResistance against the new Chief Judge, who is an OmnicidalManiac. However, the President himself is just a stooge for that reality's [[GloriousMotherRussia East Meg One]], and is [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness disposed of as soon as he loses his usefullness to them]].
* PsychoSerum:
** The Dark Judges use a version of their dead fluids to make people go kill crazy. The ones that best respond to the stuff become new recruits.
** In Part 2, it's shown that even the regular Judges were injected with aggressors and deinhibitors from their training as cadets onwards to make them compliant thugs. It didn't work on the future Judge Death because he was already a psychopath.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: A graphic example when a recently turned-evil psionic Judge uses a foot soldier's [[EyeScream ripped-out eyeball]] to see what's happening elsewhere.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: Judge Fairfax was once an acolyte of Judge Death, who still wants to recruit him as one of his lieutenants after they had a falling out. Fairfax just wants to ride out the apocalypse.
