Best Prog ever

[AlexF]

I know it's hardly scientific, but has anyone with the relevant maths and internet know-how worked out which single Prog of 2000 AD is officially the best? Based, of course, on the voting system here on this site. I'm thinking that there must be a few progs where the average across the covers and all strips inside is an 8, at least. There's a page listing all the best/worst covers by votes; could this be extended to an entire issue?

I reckon it'll be somewhere in the mid-300s, myself.

I have doen this, theres a thread somewhere - i think its prg 654, or at least, was when i did the check last year...

Thanks for the link! Prog 650 was pretty much when I started reading my older brother's 2000 AD every week, so I guess I jumped on at exactly the right time. Although I don't think I understood a word of Zenith phase III back then, and I barely do now.

I don't suppose you're likely to update that graph anytime soon? The link to it is unsurprisingly broken.

[Leigh S]

yeah - whenever htis subject rears up, it prompts me to update it - so watch this space!

Maybe it's because I was younger and had not much else to do in life, but I've never been so excited about getting my weekly prog as I was during the build-up to and indeed the unfolding of Necropolis.

Actually, the latest SinDex outing came close once the stakes were upped towards the end. Or perhaps it's more to do with my life having settled down again for the first time since puberty?

I thought this would be easy, have a quick look at the cover story, click on the Progs that I have strong memories of and then see the list of stories inside. The trouble is most of mine fave progs are in the 200 - 300's but when you have a closer look there's always one thrill that stops me picking that  Prog.
I knew I shouldnt have started because now I'm trawling through Progs trying to find the one that for me is the perfect prog.

Prog 1642 is the best one, just wait and see...

:p

I still think that D.O.A. cover looks like Dredd having a piss.

Prog 228, with only Mean Arena bringing down the overall quality, otherwise you've got:

The final episode of Judge Death Lives.

The first episode of Rogue Trooper.

Nemesis Book I.

Strontium Dog.

Otherwise, just about any prog from the 350s - McMahon on Slaine and Dr & Quinch ...

Cheers

Jim,
Prog 228 made it on to my possible list but just couldnt go for it because of Mean Arena, even if Matt Tallon did play the Black Ace.
Although readers art on the back cover and a Nerve Centre with Bjorn Tharg nearly tipped it back.
