Interesting choice to kick off with - I'm going for Dave Stone, due to his fleshing out of Brit-Cit, which we hadn't seen before, and for one of my favourite story titles, Apostasy in the UK.

Dave Stone, who at least was interesting if nothing else - plus the aforementioned worldbuilding for Brit-Cit, which reformed a throwaway satirical concept in an early Dredd into something more, the kind of salvage work some of us had to wait significantly longer to see for our own little island.

Andy Diggle
, for sure.
Even his least effort, Snow/Tiger, is a legible action thriller with a clear beginning, middle and end. Stone's work is mired in that horrible 90's obtuse storytelling style that just makes things a pain in the arse to read.

Hmmmmm... I'm voting Dave Stone.
I do think Andy Diggle has a better pedigree of one-off tales, but nothing that beats the first series of Armitage in my eyes.
So, based on that and, as mentioned, the fleshing out of Brit-Cit... I vote for Stone!

Tricky one ... but for pure entertainment value I've got to go with Andy Diggle.

Diggle by a sliver, the first series of Armitage is great, it was a series I grew to dislike. Would have liked to see Stone tackle something else.
