Williams by a country mile.

I'm with IP block.

Edit: the thing is, if it were Cabbage vs. Mark Millar I'd have voted cabbage, but Rob Williams also wins my vote because he does great work: Family, Evangelyne, Breathing Space, Low Life, Ichabod Azrael, Ordinary and his own Dredd-thread. One of his great strengths is his humour - like the talking horse in Ichabod or Dirty Frank's secret middle name.

And it's not that Millar's a bad writer - I just find his stuff (for the prog) too often needlessly offensive. And too formulaic. And too derivative.

Rob Williams, fantastic Dredd.

Williams mainly for Low Life. Also what I've read of Millar's output for Tharg is middling at best (and I think I've probably avoided the worst bits).

Mark Millar. For Silo, and because, well, you know, something happened recently in the prog that made me pretty glum.

To be fair, there was Comrade Ed...

I must now reconsider my life.

Definitely Williams!

Rob Williams as I have the slightest inkling at to what constitutes good writing.

Well you never know... I mean its possible... your vote could change the result here... I mean its possible. If you want to find out of it can get um in by the morning as this one is about to wrap up.

VOTING CLOSED - but feel free to add votes and comments but the call is made.

While overall this vote held no surprises and lacked a lot of the debate of the other one that closed today it does provide that wonderful example of however cut and dried something looks to the majority of us 2000ad fandom is a diverse and dree thinking bunch (well in most places) with varied and fascinating views. And even with a vote as one sided as this there is still a counter view that gets a voice.

That said this was always going to be

Rob Williams

into the next round
