[Insurrection]

Although I've named myself after the genius that is the two-storey brain, Insurrection is Abnett and MacNeil at their best, so my namesake is being relegated to second place.

Insurrection.

[Button Man]

Greysuit plays like a more political Button Man but for me Wagner and Ranson nail it.

Button Man.

[Armoured Gideon]

What's not to love about Armoured Gideon? Giant robots, demons, human protagonist's bemusement, Simon Jacob's art...

Armoured Gideon all the way. It must be coming in the Hachette collection, surely....

[Ace Trucking Co.]

At its best, Ace Trucking was a lot of fun. Yes it fizzled out with two overlong stories, but with, say, Too Many Bams, the creators were clearly enjoying themselves which was infectious.

[Cradlegrave]

 Ooh... I'm a big fan of Scarlet Traces but having just re-read Cradlegrave in the Hachette collection, the atmosphere and creeping dread make for one of the best horror stories Tooth has ever done. Sorry Ian and Matt, for me it has to be Cradlegrave.

Tyranny Rex.

[Venus Bluegenes]

Love the spelling in the title, makes me wonder whether Colin has been listening to Neil Diamond while compiling all this 

I seem to remember Venus had a pretty good solo debut in the hands of Morrison and Simpson in a sci-fi special way back, so Venus Bluegenes.

[Counterfeit Girl]

Brit-Cit Babes is a long way from being Wagner's best, but Milligan is still coming up with intriguing themes for Tooth.

[Danzig's Inferno]

Tharg's Alien Invasions were fun but Smith and Phillips came up with a great little piece of weirdness that still sticks in my mind today.

Danzig's Inferno.

[Leatherjack]

I haven't read Chiaroscuro but even if I had suspect I would still be voting the same way. John Smith and Paul Marshall had collaborated several times by this point, and they complement each other brilliantly.

[Low Life]

Nemesis and Deadlock both had finer hours than in their joint series, although Carl Critchlow's art was great. Low Life gave us numerous ongoing characters and threads for Dredd, and Frank is a brilliant creation.
