I jumped ship from American comics to 2000AD to get away from all the superheros. Superheros in the pages of 2000AD, albeit well done and different, just isn't what I'm looking for from the Mighty One. The great thing about anthologies, something for everyone!

Strontium Dogs. I'd take (almost) anything from the world of SD!

I've read less of Lowlife and love Burns art, so my vote goes to Bendatti Vendetta.

Fair points Funt. Nostalgia will likely impact all of our votes to one degree or another!

Button Man.

When getting into 2000AD I heard lots about these series; Button Man exceeded my expectations, but Zenith didn't live upto the hype

Thanks for your efforts broodblik! I've not had time to be on the forum as much lately but have enjoyed voting and watching when I could. I vote for the return of the Sideshow Vote, when you're refreshed.

ABC Warriors. A series if extreme highs and lows for me, but when it's good its GOOD.

Strontium Dog. I'd be shocked if anything else beats it. Tharg's best thrill IMO!

Probably need to try reading the prog on something larger than my phone.

Oh definately I can't read comics on a phone (well clearly I can but hate it) but on a nice shiny tablet its a perfectly nice experience. If you are lucky enough to be able to get one the largest screen possible works for me - I have a 12' screen (Samsung Galaxy S7 Pro folks here with more tech knowledge swear by iPads) and its basically the same size as a regular US comic. For the Meg (and by extension I assume the Prog, but I get those physically) the dimensions aren't quite as well suited as they are broader and so you lose a little off the height to fit it in, its still absolutely lovely and the images so sharp as to make reading a delight on Tablet.

I do get the desire for physical and if I really like a series or comic I will track down phyisical but where here are barriers to that entirely happy to read digital on a good tablet.

That makes sense Colin, thanks for the tablet info. I've never needed a tablet but could probably justify getting one to read the prog. Makes sense that digital would read better on a screen larger than 5x2 inches. However, I'll still grab physical progs when I find em!

It seems most of us are pretty old here.

This vote was a clever scheme to find out how old everyone is without having to actually ask.
