FFT - ROUND of 16 - Journals of Luke Kirby vs Savage - Heat 06

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Savage- because I'm hoping it's obvious popularity will convince Rebellion to publish the whole lot in hardback.

[Dash Decent]

Savage.

[Southstreeter]

Savage though there are far better thrills in this round.

[Funt Solo]

Savage is less dated.

[dan200]

Savage is delightful.

[AlexF]

Savage really is very good, I guess it seems less deserving than some thrills wot have already gone out, but actually it's earned its way here. It's compelling, relatively grown-up Euro comics.

But despite me saying that, my recent re-read of the 3 UC books left a slightly sour taste - the first 4 books or so are pretty great, and there are lots of great bits in later books, not least a convincing way to actually end the story of Britain being invaded and made free again (thanks to help from wealthy Americans and their warbots). But the cockney gangster milieu isn't my scene, and there are touches of homophobia and misogyny in there that grate.

Luke Kirby isn't nearly as well written, overall - but on the strength of Summer Magic, and because it's got no hope...

Luke Kirby gets my vote today.

VOTING CLOSED

Pretty straight forward for Bill to blow away a 12 year old boy (how old was he) and we can discuss the morality of that first, maybe Savage thought he was a Volg? Who know. Really they should have just sat down over a cuppa and talked it out...

Savage
