Forum’s Favourite Thrill - Strange Brigade vs Juliet November Rd 1 Heat 66

[Colin YNWA]

You've been very patient with me and indulged these matches with a diligence and rigour that I'm amazed by. That said, with X-Mas coming up I think we'll have a week off after this week (9), so we can start the new year with fresh energy for the end of Round 1 and brace ourselves as we go into Round 2 (and I can have a little time to prep the biggest single round of any tourney to date!). It would be nice to end on a high... it would be, but the draws the draw...

Yep, the draws the draw!

For the first time this Tourney, I had to click the 'find out more' link to remind myself what/who the Strnage Brigade were. Recent video-game tie-in about wandering Archaeologists in the Grennie Style. Decent art. Nothing wrong with it at all, but I'm kinda sniffy about video game adaptations in my Progs/Megs.

Besides which, that one solo outing for Juliet November was kinda fun, when she sets that dudes pants on fire.

Haven't read Strange Brigade. Juliet November is an interesting character that didn't seem to have much mileage beyond being unable to control her pyrokinesis.

Juliet November.

Strange Brigade was fine but I didn't get invested because you always know games tie-ins are unlikely to develop further. It was miles better and than that recent-ish zombie one in the Met though.

Juliet November works really well as a supporting character, but her one solo outing didn't really light my fire. Strange Brigade, by the nature of the remit, doesn't really go anywhere (despite all the globe-trotting) and serves mostly to set us up to buy a game.

So, it's really up to the art, and while Graham Manley does a grand job, he's only up against Tiernen "The Wizard" Trevallion!





My vote goes to Strange Brigade.

I'd sooner read the ingredients of an M&S mince pie than re-read either, but will throw a disinterested glance towards Juliet November for this match-up.

[Southstreeter]

No idea what Strange Brigade is. Juliet November

Not really surprising this one is quite quiet. Last chance to get your votes in today before I count up in the morning and announce the winner.

[Magnetica]

Not sure if I'm mixing up Strange Brigade with what has been described above as that more recent zombie tie in, but I'll vote for it anyway as I have no memory at all of Juliet November.

This one kinda felt like a collective shoulder shrug, but you folks took the effort and counting was no real challenge and so with great ... some ... a little fanfare I announce

Has quietly popped into Round 2
