Title: Forum’s Fav Thrill - 13 vs. Banzai Battalion Rd 3 Heat 61
Post by: Colin YNWA on 29 June, 2022, 06:28:27 AM
So here we are final week of Round 3 and quality here will set us up well for what's to come. There are some stunning ties here and a proper local derby to really add some flavour - I was so chuffed when this one was drawn as it's a right good tie (you'll only have to wait until Tuesday...). Round 4 will be coming soon (Monday next week I imagine!) and it's going to start to get super tough... or tougher at least!

We need to cool down after yesterday's big draw match-up, maybe this will allow that? 13 has fought off Angel Zero and Tales from Beyond Science and Banzai Battalion weeded another Andy Clarke strip on Snow/Tiger and then cropped Meet Darren Dead. This might be more low key than the big game yesterday but there still might be a little interest (see what I did there!)

Got a lot of love for Banzai Battalion, but even more for 13. All-time great one-off story with plenty of mad ideas. Looks like this will be a bit of a tussle.

Aw, no! What a draw! Lot of love for both of these strips.

I think 13 is just going to edge it for me; wish we'd had a bit more of it. The phrase 'Tits like God's own earmuffs' has never quite left me.

I liked Thirteen less than I expected to and Banzai Battalion more that I thought I would - Banzai Battalion

13 maybe but there's not an out and out winner for me here.

Only a ........are you ready, are you.... only a small number of votes here so there could be plenty more to come. Even then there seems .... are you ready... little chance the result will change.... unlucky - do you see it - for some. Result tomorrow.

VOTING CLOSED

So I was expecting this one to be closer and if I'm honest a different result. Neither sets my world on fire but if I'mm honest I'm really pleased the edge of

13

took it into Round 4
