1 Grinder
Small but perfectly formed. Made me laugh out loud.

2 Working Girl
Life in the Big Meg, and the further adventures of an instantly likeable character.

3 Sentientoid's Big Idea
Straight out fun.

Art and script perfectly complementing each other in all of the above.

[Barrington Boots]

Oh, that's a really tricky vote. I might need to do a reread, but off the top of my head:

1. Working Girl - JWare nails it with his reasons as to why this is great
2. The Dead Chief Judges Society - Ludicrous, but really enjoyed the characterful, bickering ghosts
3.Grinder - Goofy, violent, funny, perfect.

I could have done a top ten though, really enjoyed a lot of these stories.

[Trooper McFad]

My selections are:
1- An Honest man
2- The Citadel
3- Grinder

To be fair, I did message them but unfortunately neither individual seemed interested in reviving the Best Dredd Strips this year and I didn't know/realise that anyone else was interested in reviving this topic this year. If you would like, I can e-mail you a list of Dredd tales in the Prog/Meg for ya...?

[broodblik]

I have the progs covered but I decided not to add the meg stories

[Batman's Superior Cousin]

If I may be so bold as to ask, do you plan to continue this next year or would you like me to continue/start these topics...?

[WhizzBang]

1. An Honest Man
2. The Citadel
3. Working Girl

I just jump in since it looked like nobody was going to do it, just jump in and do it next year

[Link Prime]

1) The Citadel (although it didn't live up to the hype).
2) An Honest Man (very solid mid-chapter of this arc).
3) Troublemaker (RIP Alan Grant).


Not a very memorable year for Dredd if I am being honest.

Ok, in that case I'll do the Meg stories next Monday or Tuesday and from next year onwards, I'll try and do both when norton_crane does his own Best Thrill-power strips of Yesteryear.

Anyway, getting back on topic...

1) Grinder
2) The Dead Chief Judge's Society
3) Special Relationship

All in terms of both art and story!!

[norton canes]

1. Working Girl
Great story and Mona is a fantastic new character but most of all, the chase sequence was just real seat-edge stuff

2. An Honest Man
More brilliant character work from the Niemand droid

3. Naked Lunch
Biggest prog-related laugh of the year, what can I say?
