Week... eerrrr is anyone keeping count anymore? (well yes I am its 5) and you know what if I said Week 4 was a step up in quality, well I'd suggest this week is even better. See what you reckon...

Two spin-off thrills here. Plenty of questions about both BUT the only one that matters is...

Which most rattles your thrill-receptors:

Deadlock - more info

Vs.

Johnny Woo - more info

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 Friday 26th November and the winner gets a place in Round 2 (of 9!!!).

What on Earth is ALL of this?

For those that need 'um and can be bothered to follow 'um there's some simple rules

Any questions, just ask as ever - and have FUN!

O Lucky Stevie!

Deadlock was everything that the nostalgia-fest of Nemesis Book X wasn't. It really felt like it was going somewhere.

Deadlock it is.

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

Deadlock, a better end to Nemesis the Warlock than Book X was.

Much as I love to be a lone voice shouting in the wilderness, Deadlock is just better than Johnny Woo. Even if this is including 'Wizards & Warlocks' + 'The Enigmass Variations'. (Is it? I'm guessing they might get their own slot?)

(Johnny Woo vs Skip Tracer - that would've been a fair fight. But whoever said knockout tournaments should be fair? Fair is rarely fun!)

I have a pretty good memory for thrills, and even though I know I've read the Johnny Woo solo series, I remember nothing about it. One of those series that was briefly just... there.

I'd stand to be corrected, but the Carl Critchlow illustrated stories were under the Nemesis & Deadlock banner, I believe?

Quickly checks spreadsheet... and YES Nemesis and Deadlock stands on its own as a stand alone solo story as otherwise you have to make strange choices, like why is it Nemesis not Deadlock or vice versa.

Well, Nemesis is [spoiler]Deadlock[/spoiler] - along with being the deathbringer, lord of the flies, etc.

Well yes but then you'd include [spoiler]Deadlock [/spoiler]in [spoiler]Nemesis the Warlock[/spoiler] and my head would explode!

I was doing some prep the other day and I've just about managed to cover my omissions with mistakenly entered and so far (touch would) its evened out so you'll never know what a fuck up the wole things been!
