I'd suggest that whichever thrill wins here will be the unexpected guest in the semi-finals. I predicted that the semi-finalists (fate willing) would have been Strontium Dog, Nemesis, Dante and Jones. So it's fitting that fate has once again scoffed in the face of my predictions and decided that Dabnett should of course be guaranteed at least one place in the semis after his amazing performance across the tourney so far.

Which will it be though. 3 days to decide...

Form book - Thrills vanquished to date (in order of round met earliest to latest):

Lawless: Samizdat Squad; Chimpsky's Law; Mazeworld; Thistlebone; Firekind
Brink: Mercy Heights; Shako; Taxidermist; Stickleback; The Out

QUARTER FINAL - will feature just one thrill a day. I'd like to pretend this is to give these epic thrills more space and time to be commented on... but really it's to buy myself a bit of extra time to plan what comes next!

What on Earth is ALL of this?

Wait this is not as straightforward for me two great thrills both are quite different and both utilize some great art. I will go for the time for Brink but that might change tomorrow

not a huge fan of either, story-wise. but for phil winslade's truly extraordinary art, it's lawless.

[Colin YNWA]

Brink

Well we knew that already.

[Aaron A Aardvark]

My first instinct was Brink, coz it's better.
My second instinct is that Lawless is more fun.
Fun trumps quality? Is that fair? No it isn't.

Lawless. Fantastic artwork, better characters and as AAA says, a lot more fun - but with emotional heft. Only 2000ad strip to make my wife cry.

Brink really is something special, but Lawless has consistently been a strip I buy a whole magazine just to read, it's that good.

[IndigoPrime]

They're both great, but for me Lawless takes it by a nose, even of Brink is arguably the more imaginative of the two strips.

Two top quality strips from Dabnett. Both benefit from having had the same artist do every episode.

It's a close one, but I'm going for Brink.

And re Colin's comment on his predicted semi final line up,  I'd vote Brink over Halo Jones.
