Thanks gents. I especially appreciate the little details such as the helmet on the ground with a (hammer sized) dent, the damaged tank barrel (with distraught tank commander), the street sign noting "Schicklgruber Straße" (Schicklgruber Street in German) and Hitler's worried facial expression - he's knows the Sternhammer Silencer is on the way!

Awesome Rogue Trooper figure, well done!

Beautiful commission, I wish! Lucky man whoever gets it.

[Slavers of Drule]

Slavers of Drule, I actually really like this one and appreciate they brought back Eleanor Keeble to help out Johnny in Smiley's World.

[The Killing]

The Killing for me too please.

Colin MacNeil commission! I asked for Johnny and Wulf fighting Nazis, Colin came up with the rest. An homage to The Shicklgruber Grab, one of my favorite Stront stories. I honestly couldn't be more pleased, very happy how it turned out.



Colin in an absolute top dog among Tharg's art droids, and I'm very grateful for his time and effort. It exceeded all my expectations!

And special thanks to Eamonn who helped with shipping it to Canada for me. We talk more about the commission here: https://megacitybookclub.blogspot.com/2021/07/161-life-and-death-of-johnny-alpha_02023364488.html

hooray a post that's not about voting in some complex tournament

Voting is a Tharg-given right

[Big Bust of 49]

Big Bust of 49 partly due to recency bias....I just reread it Wed evening and really enjoyed it.

[The Schicklgruber Grab]

The Schicklgruber Grab! Possibly my favorite Stront yarn...top three anyway.

[Portrait of a Mutant]

Totally agree with the comments thus far - both are great stories but Portrait of a Mutant wins for sure. An important and well executed origin story for Johnny!

[Max Bubba (Ragnarok Job)]

Max Bubba (Ragnarok Job) . Time travel, Wulf's origin [spoiler]and Death[/spoiler], trolls, vikings, dragons, Nam choppers/soldiers, and Max Bubba's crew - all perfectly penciled by Ezquerra. So good!

I do enjoy the Final Solution but I liked it more the fist time I read it (in TPB), a recent re-read wasn't as exciting. I don't like that Johnny was killed off and Feral is just terrible. Overall the art is fine-good, except for MacNeil's pages which were beautiful.

[Traitor to his Kind]

Traitor to his Kind

A relaunch classic.

[The Kreeler Conspiracy]

The Kreeler Conspiracy

I might prefer the story of the Whisperer, but it comes down to a few fantastic splash pages by Carlos that gives Kreeler the win.
