[Meg]

I will wrapping up the "The Rebellion Years Top 10 Series - Tournament" by the 30th of June. I will kick-off the "The Rebellion Years Top 10 Meg Series - Tournament" on the weekend of the 4th of July. The meg tourney will run for only 2 weeks I want to warp it up by the 19th of July.

I am planning on doing a "Galaxy's Greatest Top 10" next. The timing of this depends also when and what Colin wants to do next. I do not mind running this directly after the Meg one.

I just need some input regarding the different tourneys:

On the Meg tourney
1.    I will again exclude Judge Dredd as an option but not the Dredd movie-based series. I see this more as an alternative take on Dredd and not part of the Dredd-verse canon.
2.   I will split Anderson between the Dredd-verse canon and the Dredd movie-based canon.
3.   Additional exclusion will be any reprint material and that includes the floppies.

On the Galaxy tourney
1.   I will split Rogue Trooper in two voting options, Classic Rogue and Friday.
2.   I will also split Strontium Dog into Alpha and Feral as two options.
3.   The only exclusion will be again Judge Dredd

A highly enjoyable prog so thank you Tharg !!!

Dredd – The team has been selected the first level boss has been identified. The set up has been done and now the real story can start. I always liked Rob Williams take on Dredd and cannot wait for the rest of the apocalyptic tale to unfold. Great stuff.

Sin/Dex – The talking heads has been replaced by a full out action-fest. The real disappointment for me rather is the fact just as the story starts, we must wait a few weeks again for the rest.

Full Tilt Boogie – We are only in the second episode and I am already fully invested in the story.  Ocana's art suits the story.

The Order – The story has not gone complete weird on us yet so in that sense I am little bit disappointed, but it is giving us the initial set up for the main story. Enjoying this as always. Bring on the wacky-molly rollercoaster ride Kek-W.

Diaboliks – Now that the team has been selected the target has been identified, wait did Rennie and Williams share notes......?  So far so good, good start to the new Caballistics spin-off. 

Glad that we have Stickleback back and at last the  return of Slaine. 

This looks just to cool for words:

The September lineup:

Looks promising some interesting new stories starting. You can not go wrong with a Wagner/MacNeil Dredd

I enjoyed the Meg.

My main problem with Vigilant except the many characters is that the story goes back to 2018 and it feels like the time between is way to long. This will read better as a collection which I know will be release next year. All in all I enjoyed Vigilant and it is always a bonus to have the fantastic art of Coleby.

Noted and updated for you Huey2

Great stuff

Congrats Jim

Dan Abnett. Because Brink. And because Hershey.

I did not know Abnett wrote Hershey 

Just take note that I will close voting for this tourney on the 30th of June. I am sure that this is more than enough time for everyone to make -up their minds and also read the 2000 AD SCI-FI SPECIAL 2020 (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/SPE2001) releasing next week.  The special might sway your vote and remember you can change your vote anytime.

I will start a similar tourney for the meg on the weekend of 4th of July (just coincident  for our American readers).

I was thinking that I can do a best of tourney for AD as well. There is more than 40 years of stories to work with. So let me know if you guys feel up to this.

I enjoyed Black Sails as well it was a fantastic TV show.
