It's rare that I'd vote against a Smiffy strip, but I never thought Tyranny Rex was his best. So Leviathan for me.

Though the Spurious one is a fine writer, I was never a fan of Lobster. I did like The Dead though; it really creeped me out as a kid.

Dear me, this is a tough one - two of the best the prog has ever had.
But for mind-bending depth, perfect characterisation and dialogue, and a grasp of the zeitgeist that never seems try-hard or contrived, it's Zenith for me.

Shadows for me. I really liked it. Brigand Doom was fine but suffers from comparison to its clear inspiration. You know, the one by that beardy guy.

The last couple of stories were a bit lacklustre for me, but for Diggle and Jock's MC1 is perfect. Lenny Zero.

Gideon was great fun, but it's got to be Metalzoic, an absolute classic.

That's a pity, but fair play, it was very enjoyable while it lasted. Thanks for all your hard work!

It's not my thing at all, and I don't have sprogs. But I do like the idea of making a Sprogprog, and realise there aren't the resources to start a new regular comic from scratch.
So - Yes, keep it as it is 4 regen progs and 46 regular progs a year

In those weird few minutes between sleeping and waking, I was trying to remember the name of Con Air for some reason, and misremembered it as Air Con. Which made me realise it's a play on words. I think.

« on: 07 May, 2022, 08:29:36 PM »I rate Sooner or Later highly, but the Simon Davis droid is a god striding the earth, with brushes.
No arguments on that score, but Swifty and Co have a special place in my heart and I couldn't possibly vote against them.

I was sure the Milligan and McCarthy one would sail through. I loved it but what do I know.

It would appear that Johnson's moral bankruptcy is finally getting through to voters. Nice one, UK, I haven't given up on you all just yet!

It could be nostalgia, but The Stainless Steel Rat. Shakira had a couple of great Latino-pop hits but some of her stuff was mediocre at best.

Sooner or Later. Pure, bottled 1980s.

Can I just say I liked it? It was a welcome break from the Ennis Dredds and the Strontium Dogs and Dragon Tales and the like. I even liked Inferno at the time, though in hindsight it's a bit pants.
The only part of the lineup I didn't like was Maniac 5 (anyone notice how Millar forgot Tony Blair died in it, and brought him back to life again?).
