Forum’s Favourite Thrill - Defoe vs. Bradley Round 2 Heat 67

[Proudhuff]

Defo Defoe... hated Bradley

[CalHab]

Some great artwork in both, but I much prefer Defoe.

[Barrington Boots]

Excellent point about the polemic in Defoe being a lot more in character than in Pat's other latter day stuff. Perhaps that's why it seemed less jarring.
It really is great stuff, overflowing with ideas and characters and really atmospheric. I'm getting a big rush of enthusiasm just thinking about it now.

Defoe

[Southstreeter]

Never liked Bradley, so it's Defoe mainly for the earlier stories.

The joy of these votes, regardless of how one-sided they seem is emphasised by the fact even Bradley gets votes. Folks might see some ties as pointless through there lens but 2000ad fandom is so diverse there is always (well almost) another perspective and this lobsides ties give those other perspective a chance to have their say... oh but Defoe will storm this when I count up tomorrow morning!

[Link Prime]

Easily Defoe. Lost it's way at the end (losing Leigh Gallagher didn't help) but genuinely loved it at the start.

Despite Simon Harrison, I will vote for Defoe here too.

I'm the opposite to yourself Barrington, it took a long time for Defoe to grow on me, and by the time I was actively enjoying it (in no small part due to some mind bending visuals from Stewart Kenneth Moore) Mills had departed.

VOTING CLOSED

One fo the most clear cut results we've had for a while. Is that a rallying cry for Defoe, or a protest vote against Bradley. As ever with these thing probably a little of both.

Defoe

will be having none of those childish tales in Round 3.

That's interesting - this is one of the things I like about the Prog and this forum, it's cool when there's (polite) differences of opinion.
I did get the feeling Defoe was looking to evolve from an ensemble cast vs zombies into something quite different and it coud have been interesting to see where it went.
