Even with such a short list this one is surprisingly tough, the Meg is so consistent this year. Its been great. In the end though I'll go:

1. Devlin Waugh - The Reckoning
2. Megatropolis
3. The Dark Judges - Deliverance

1. Megatropolis. My favourite this year I think.
2. Dreadnoughts.
3. Angelic.

A good innings for the Meg this year. Praise be to Tharg!

Top spot is very close according to Funts count to date. I'll give this vote one more day and then do a final count (if needed) tomorrow (Tuesday 4th Jan) morning and announce the final result then. Given how close it is last minute votes today could really change things...

This list really highlights how backward-looking the writing in the Meg has become.

01. The Returners - Amazonia. Maybe a bit of a sympathy vote this but overall I enjoyed the somewhat different pace and content of this strip so I was happy that it got an ending despite the circumstances. 

02. Angelic - Restitution. One of those backward-looking strips but just about keeps sufficient distance from the inspiration to make it interesting.

03. The Returners - Heartswood. Probably the weakest outing for this strip but at least it was something new.

Mike Dowling's versions of Hell and the Trellick Tower deserve a special mention as the most exciting thing artistically this year. Really beautiful work.

VOTING CLOSED

And we're done. Thise final votes closed the gap, but not quite enough. and the result when to a truly wonderful thrill

1st - Megatropolis = 59 points

the runners up wasn't half good was well

2nd - DreadNoughts = 53 points

3rd - Devlin Waugh - The Reckoning = 36 points

The quality of those thrills just screams out what rude health the Meg is in at the moment.
