Like Mega City Undercover, this is a Dredd story where the Judge himself is more of a background character; but again, that doesn't mean that couldn't change in the adaptation process, and again, it doesn't stop America from being one of the most rightly-feted storylines in the history of 2000 AD's publication. Setting up a lot of the conflicts that came to a conclusion with The Devil You Know/Twilight's Last Gleaming, America is a parable for the way that Mega-City One is irredeemably screwed. It follows the opposing experiences of two of its citizens, America Jara and Bennett Benny: where the latter accepts the fascistic system and is greatly awarded with fame and fortune, the former grows more and more disillusioned, eventually joining a terrorist group and coming face-to-face with Dredd himself. Widely regarded as one of the all-time best Judge Dredd stories, America works because it goes even further than the first Dredd in critiquing the way Mega-City One works, the validity of the "justice" Dredd deals out, but also whether the people fighting against that system are any better. It's a morally grey story, which would make it incredibly interesting as a blockbuster movie. Obviously with more action scenes.
