Why (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47696.0) on Tharg's Earth head are we doing this?
Any questions, just ask as ever - and have FUN!
Oh and my 'More info' links... well I don't say how much more and they get pretty wonky at times!
Outlaw
Although it ended the strip beautifully, The Son isn't up there with the classics and Outlaw, whilst overlong, is full of awesomeness. Outlaw please Colin!
The Son was a great farewell to the King, but if it wasn't Carlos' last strip then there'd be no question that it'd be Outlaw. So Outlaw it is!
Yeah, by all the same logic, Outlaw.
Outlaw for me
Outlaw
Outlaw!
Outlaw is tough to beat.
Outlaw.
V
got to be Outlaw for me
Roll up, roll up. Come see the vote and join in the circus. Do it today though as Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls tomorrow we will have a countin'
Right I'm going to book the tread here. Both these strips have considerable flaws but The Son has much more focus and purpose than the otherwise widely spralling Outlaw and so on that basis:
The Son
A bold stance there, Colin.
VOTING CLOSED
Well if the other tie in this close this was anything but. Folks vote Outlaw, well except some outling numbnuts but we don't need to worry about those no marks! And while The Son had many tributes it don't dent the votes... I think this group is going to throw up some interesting results. As it is in this tie
Outlaw
takes it
