The ties in Week 6 are a bit of a mixed bag.  A couple of very interesting ones that are hard to call mixed in with some very lopsided potential batterings and BOTH versions of Bill Savage making an appearance - but which will survive?

The very epitome of the modern thrill against the old school thrill here. Brink absolutely represents the very best of Thrills modern menagerie of might. A transformative thrill that exemplifies all that the Prog can be. It's only seen off Mercy Heights to date, but one suspects, assuming it survives here, it will see of better than that. Shako is all that was crazy fun about the earliest of Tharg's output. The sort of no holds barred unfiltered, brutal fun that defined and shaped the comic. Its seen off Middenface McNulty, but if it was to see off Brink, well who knows what the thrill could kill?

Brink - it looks like Bridget will be the one to takedown Shako and not the CIA
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

You're a dark horse, Boots.

Shako is good old school fun but it's no match for Brink

No contest - Brink. No slight to Shako, but angry CIA goons and white toothy death can only sustain so many pages of fun. Somehow the setting, mystery and just plain day to day living on Brink never gets old.

I mean, Shako was fine, in an old-school way, but it was no Hookjaw. Brink feels like its own universe and is one of 2000 AD's greatest modern thrills. No contest.

Colin, you're an utter bastard! Two of my favourite strips? How am I supposed to choose?

Brink. Because I want Brink to win this contest overall.

For me the wicked call so far was Kingdom vs Proteus Vex.
