Title: Forum’s Favourite Thrill - Walter the Wobot vs Bendatti Vendetta Rd 1 Heat 47
Post by: Colin YNWA on 02 December, 2021, 06:23:41 AM
Week 6 and, brace yourself, we get over the half way marker in Round 1... yes when I said this was the biggest of these things yet I wasn't messing about! We're not even half way... in Round 1... and Round 2 is bigger than Round 1 before you get your hopes up... we're in for the long haul here folks!

Walter the Wobot is much maligned these days. Look back at these daft strips though and you'll find some stunning art. Mind speaking of stunning art Bendatti Vendetta is by John M Burns - so ya know!

Which most rattles your thrill-receptors:

Just reply in this thread naming your favourite thrill of these two series at the beginning of your post (or use Bold tags so I can spot it easily) and say what you like about these wonderful stories after that.

Match ends early on the morning of Sunday 5th December and the winner gets a place in Round 2 (of 9!!!).

Walter was always annoying in Dredd, which was the point, but a solo series was completely unnecessary.

The Benatti Vendetta.

Bendatti Vendeta. I could've gone a big eventful final run for that series.

I don't mind Walter at all as a character; but a solo series stretches even my patience.

I quite liked The Bendatti Vendetta. Shame it was so shortlived.

VOTING CLOSED

Never think it will be a shut out until The Mind of Wolfie Smith has spoken, and he wasn't the only one. Looked once again like a white wash and in the end it was just a near white wash for

Bendatti Vendetta

as it shots in Round 2.

Arh but you are the lone(ish) voice for so much and that's really cool. At some point when I have some time on my hands* I'll run some stats to see how often you went for the losing vote. As I always say the fact that 2000ad attracts such a broadchurch of fans is one of the things that makes it such fun. That you seem to be an outlier - at least in these early rounds - just illustrates that perfectly.

*meaning I'll never get around to it as I'm far to lazy, but the thought is there huh!
