What a year for Dan Abnett. Not only does he take the top spot but he has three stories in the top ten!

And no doubt Lawless would win a Megazine story of the year poll if there was one.

Colin YNWA

Wow the clear winner aside that's really interesting.

Feel bad that Bad Company and The Order didn't get a single point and loved the second book of Skip Tracer, when it was sat next to some absolutely stella thrills it held its own.

Thanks for doing this Norton Cane.

DrJomster

Thanks for running this! Good fun!

If we do more polls, I'd suggest just giving the results of just the top ten positions say. That way there's no highlighting of cases with nil points, which can come about just due to the way the voting is done. I quite like Skip Tracer for example. It just wasn't in my top three.

Lots of love for Brink I see.

Yeah, I take your point. My thinking was that a top three is simply a nice easy thing to score - also it reflects the old cut-out voting coupon which used to appear in the prog. I suppose it could be expanded to a top 5, which would be more inclusive. Or, perhaps people could just rate all the stories out of 5 or 10. I've got a whole year to mull it over!

The Mind of Wolfie Smith

thanks for organising this. and delighted to see the love for brink and jaegir. slow-burn character driven epics and arguably the most interesting and most richly delineated female characters in the prog since halo jones.

whats most peoples thoughts on slaine the brutania chronicles ( its only slaine i havent read yet) ?

broodblik

Personally it was not the best Slaine series if read and I will almost rate it as one of the worse the exception is Davis wonderful painted art.

Start from the beginning, Saline Warriors Dawn https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/slaine/XB166 and follow it in chronological order.

If you want the best Saline series it is the Horned God https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/slaine/XB329A
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.

Personally, I think it's this one:

@jamesfeistdraws

Link Prime

There has to be some mileage to an issue of Zarjaz featuring Judge Dread, Rouge Trooper, Tranny Rex, Match 1 and Saline The King.

Bolt-01


Dark Jimbo

@jamesfeistdraws

Bolt-01

You'd end up drawing some of it if I had my way!

broodblik

lol @ Dark Jimbo I have not seen Salin in "Time Killer" or "Demon Killer" flavor (do you if it will be available this year ?)
