Continuity Issues
There used to be some controversy among fans as to whether Goodman succeeded Chief Judge Fargo directly, or whether Judge Solomon served in between. This was eventually settled by the story "Origins" in 2006. However, his stated term of office contradicts two earlier mentions:
- In Oz (progs 545–570), when Judge Silver remembers the coup by Morton Judd in 2070, Fargo is explicitly called the chief judge. Origins retconned this, having Fargo as an advisor to Chief Judge Goodman.
- Blood Cadets (progs 1186–88) had a corrupt Judge Rico Dredd owning a luxury apartment in the 2080s, and Dredd said such things ceased "under Goodman." Origins stated that Goodman was already chief judge well before then.
All three stories were written by John Wagner.
