(i loved tao de moto. in fact i loved all myra hancock's indie comics and was really excited when she started working in the prog. if the saga had continued it really would have been something - somewhere between full tilt boogie and halo jones; with art from the underrated david hine - who had a rare ability in this strip to really animate talking heads into something wistful and intriguing, as well As a great sense of design. sinister dexter, on the other hand, is often horrible, and has been in a loop (often literally) for far too many years. imho).

I bloody love Sticky Fingers, apart from New Statesmen its my favourite thing from Crisis.

Tao de Moto was genuinely refereshing and great for about the first 12 episodes or so, but it got stuck in an irritating holding pattern of Sopalco being a bad guy / liar / good guy / arch-manipulator, and Tao herself seemed to have less and less to do as it went on. Of course every chance that Hancock could've turned the story around if she'd had the chance to do a second series instead of tying it all off in a Yearbook text story

It meanders a bit these days compared to the cool, sassy and quick-fire SinDex of old, but it's still SinDex for me.

Its great to see Tao De Moto get its due and get reflected on in ways its rarely does. As recent greats show 2000ad is often at its best when it does something that you don't necessary think naturely fits in the Prog. Brink, Thistlebone, Pandora Perfect etc etc and to do that some will fail. tao De Moto is such a great, brave failure though. So really pleased it ddin't get entirely lost in this. But come on

Sinister Dexter

deserves to go locked and loaded into Round 4 by a country mile.
