Any questions, just ask as ever - and have FUN!

Oh and my 'More info' links... well I don't say how much more and they get pretty wonky at times!

This is terribly difficult...love the Stix and Outlaw, but I've gotta go with the brooding and vengeful Johnny of Rage. The way he dealt with Bubba (twice) has to be one of the most satisfying revenge killings of villain.

[Aaron A Aardvark]

Rage.

[broodblik]

Rage

[Trooper McFad]

Rage for me

[Barrington Boots]

Ooh.
I think I'm going to go for Outlaw. I can't quite believe I'm voting against Rage, but Outlaw was one of my earliest SD tales and there's a lot there that's iconic for me: the Stix brothers, Smelly Quinn, Barrington Boots, Vince Scampi, dreadful potato jokes, the death of Harvey and the Torso.. the shootout ending is brilliant - I'm a real sucker for an SD tale that ends with a high-noon style draw down.

[AlexF]

Yeah, but RAGE.

[credo]

Outlaw

Rage is brilliant, but suffers, in terms of dialogue, fun and character, from the lack of Wulf (even if that's also what makes it great).

Outlaw, on the other hand, has Wulf, Middenface, Evans, Torso, Stront against Stront, Stix, [spoiler]Kreelman[/spoiler] and giant tropical antarctic penguins. What's not to love!?!

[Timothy]

Toughest choice so far, but I'm going for Outlaw.

[Buttonman]

Can only reread one? Think I'd go for Rage 3 times out of 5.

[Southstreeter]

Tough one, and no time to reread, but Rage and hope Outlaw also qualifies (can it? The rules have totally lost me)

[Leigh S]

Trickiest one so far

Outlaw is superb, but Rage has it... I pity the story that has to stand agaist it

[GoGilesGo]

The way he dealt with Bubba (twice) has to be one of the most satisfying revenge killings of villain.

Well, quite.

The look on Bubba's face when he hears his name called outside the hospital is incredible.

Rage

[Funt Solo]

Outlaw, for me.

[Colin YNWA]

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I close this one tomorrow
The final count is only a day awaaaayyyyy

I must have done that one before surely?

Its not a contest for me. A thrill I'm not a massive fan of as I find it drifty and meandering vs a razor sharp, target thrill bullet that one of my all time favourite.... I mean on that basis:

Rage

Not by a country mile but by 1.47 country miles!
