Round 1: 6 - Rory McConville or Ian Edginton - Ultimate Not Wagner Tourney

[Colin YNWA]

The most important thing to consider here is why Ian Edginton isn't Ian EdginGton as my fingers and brain insist on calling him - or it is that we have our first qualifer and a Droid really rocking some great new stuff against one of Tharg's most prolific creators. This vote of whose writing for Tharg you prefer gives you...

Rory McConville - http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=RORYM

OR

Ian Edginton - http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=RORYM

What is all this nonsense you ask well we're finding out whose 2000ad (Meg and associated items) writing do you prefer? Voting - just add a comment here with whose work you prefer (and anything else you might wish to say to discuss their work). This vote closes some time early Wednesday 3rd June?

My votes goes to Ian Edginton for some excellent stories: Red Seas, Kingmaker, Stickleback, Scarlet Traces, Brass Sun and Helium (still waiting for the sequel)

[sintec]

Has to be Edginton . It's hard to compete with his superb worldbuilding.

[AlexF]

Oh wow I'm torn here.
Edginton has some top tiers hits - Leviathan, Helium, Brass Sun
...but he's written a number of strips that really bum me out, most notably Detonator X and Kingmaker.
Scarlet Traces fluctuates from amazing to weirdly bland. Red Seas flew out of the gates and then just kept on flying rather aimlessly.
Edginton's Dredd's also veer from 'fine I guess' to 'actually quite good'.

In McConville's corner, his Dredd work has been pretty much 'Wow that's really very good', and his dabbles in other sandboxes tick my 2000AD boxes hard. I'm desperately waiting for him to deliver an epic-length all-new series.

Screw it, I'm voting for McConville.

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Ian Edgington.

[abelardsnazz]

Ian Edginton, for Brass Sun, The Red Seas and Scarlet Traces.

[Richard]

Ian for Leviathan.

[Bolt-01]

Sorry Rory, you drew a tough one.

Ian Edginton for me.

[Ghost MacRoth]

McConville, not because of what he done himself, but because Edginton has written some utter pap.

[Funt Solo]

Ian Edginton is one of the cadre of writers that lifted 2000 AD out from under the shadow of the 90s by writing consistently cracking thrills filled with imagination and wonder. Living, breathing worlds. Here's a selection:

- Scarlet Traces
- The Red Seas
- Ampney Crucis Investigates
- Brass Sun
- Helium (although, c'mon now - that wasn't the end, was it?)
- Kingmaker
- Leviathan

Ian Edginton...for Kingdom of the Wicked. Can I say that? And a shout out to MCBC for guiding me to that masterpiece.

Edginton for Kingmaker as well.
