Favourite CURRENT art droid Round 1 - Colin MacNeil or Neil Googe

[Colin YNWA]

Surely another of the favourites to take this tourney here, as Colin MacNeil an artists whose work is so utterly recognisable and comfortable, yet always finds new ways to twist and turn, to be different enters the fray. We can't feel sorry for Neil Googe however his work on nerdfest Survival Geeks is astonishingly good. In equal measures fresh and light, humorous and energetic, yet able to be darkly grim and threatening at the same time. I've never quite worked out how he managed to capture both so perfectly. He might appear an underdog but look at his work and we'll see he can hold his own against anyone.

Alas we still have to pick our favourite and to do so just pop the name of the art droid you'd most like to go through to Round 2, but please add anything else you'd like to say as well.

[Greg M.]

Colin MacNeil is the artistic king of modern 2000AD and the premiere current Dredd artist. Whether you prefer his classic painted work, or, as I do, his contemporary style, MacNeil is the man.

I flipping love Googe's art, it's pure sunshine on a page, clean, bright, characterful, witty and downright bouncy. It's a matter of some urgency that Tharg finds him a regular gig to replace Survival Geeks, lest the comic suffers Vitamin D deficiency.

Regrettably here he's up against Colin MacNeil, who habitually troubles my Top Five 2000AD Artists of All Time.

Sorry, Neil is great and all, but he's up against the guy that did the deaths of America Jara, Chopper* and Johnny Alpha*.
Colin.

I remembered - I just couldn't bring myself to type it.  For Grud's sake, Tharg, will you just let Colin kill someone?

Colin MacNeil for me, but Neil Googe has been on amazing form on Survival Geeks so it's another fairly close call.
