Forum’s Favourite Thrill - Urban Strike vs Dandridge Rd 1 Heat 52

[Colin YNWA]

So we're well into the second half of the 1st Round and stats fans this week sees us cover 14.2% - 16.3% of the tourney over all... oh gosh... I wish I hadn't typed that... I'm sorry...

Two video game thrills here. Urban Strike was bizarrely based on a computer game about a helicopter. Dandridge even more bizarrely had a story with a ghostly Pac Man thing...

Which most rattles your thrill-receptors:

This time, surely this time, we can get one of those long-expected whitewashes?
Urban Strike isn't the worst thing in the Prog by a long short shot, but it's a hard one to imagine having fans. If you like future swearing, or the work of Jeph Loeb* though, it's worth a look.

Dandridge, on the other hand, is excellent, and the only bad thing about it is that there wasn't more.


*The writer of bad Hulk comics and the excellent movie Commando did not write this strip, but it's a pretty close parody...

I'm in a minority here, clearly, but I quite enjoyed Urban Strike. It didn't take itself too seriously, and I get the impression the writer was taking the piss.
Dandridge was OK but always in the take it or leave it bracket for me.

Nonsense Strike was one of the deciding factors in me taking The Long Walk back in the day.

Dandridge.

Two mutherfunstering comedies - one, the tale of a brave Helicopter gunship crew's attempts to break the world record for Most Collateral Damage in a Single Mission and the other, the tale of a ghost dedicated to debauchery but continually interrupted by needy miscreants.

Urban Strike:


Dandridge:



Given that the first one is just a slightly veiled marketing tie-in, and the other has stupendous art and ended too early - it's kinda obvious but my vote goes to Dandridge.

I'm genuinely delighted that, so far, every single story listed has had a least one supporter, even if it's only beause they dislike/don't remember the other option.

It also occurs to me, and this might break Colin's sanity chip, but what are you gonna do about the NEW thrills that will hit the Prog even before we complete Round 1 of this Meltdown-Man-length Epic Tourney?
