So here we are final week of Round 3 and quality here will set us up well for what's to come. There are some stunning ties here and a proper local derby to really add some flavour - I was so chuffed when this one was drawn as it's a right good tie (you'll only have to wait until Tuesday...). Round 4 will be coming soon (Monday next week I imagine!) and it's going to start to get super tough... or tougher at least!

Curious one this. VCs straddles the ages, being one of the early strips that provided nostalgia for the Prog as it reformed to an early entrant from Rebellion's time. You can vote for all, either, or whatever aspect and folks did in numbers in an easy victory over Citi-Def. Dandridge is in danger of being a forgotten curio, never quite gripping folks enough to become a long running thrill, but fun while it was here and enjoyed enough to see off Urban Strike and Orlok. Different class of opponent for this one though.

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

You're a dark horse, Boots.

"Different Class of opponent" is right. Dandridge deserves better than to be forgotten, but it's not a ptach on the gun-ho fun of the original VCs, or the rather more subtle soldier's life drama of the reboot.

The VCs, please.

Dandridge doesn't deserve a shut-out. The only shame is that it seems to have been discontinued just as it was building up a good head of steam. I really liked the world that Worley was building.

Tricksy. Original V.C.s is a strong contender. I also loved Dandridge, which often made my laugh out loud in a way that comedy comics often struggle to do.

I'm going with the "what would I like to see a new series of next prog" argument, and siding with Dandridge.

Hmm. I liked Dandridge an awful lot, but The VCs gets this.
