What if the draw had just gone differently? It was all thriller, not filler in the latter round, but while that lead to some astonishing ties it also left some untested and so we'll wrap all this up with some of those top tier match-ups we just missed out on. An alphabetical gulf divides these two, but which one is our favourite?

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.

Zenith The warriors have their moments of brilliance, but Zenith was brilliant throughout and knew when to stop.

This is a tough one. I've historically had ABC in 5th place and Zenith in 6th. Both have now moved down at least one place due to a new thrill.

But you know what, I think I'm going to go for Zenith ahead of ABC now, as my high regard for ABCs is based on the very early stuff and the later stuff just isn't to my liking as much. Whereas Zenith was consistently great.

ABC Warriors is the comics equivalent of looping cartoon backgrounds. It has its moments but so often cares so little for its own basic continuity that nothing really matters. Zenith, though, was something else at the time and by and large still holds up now. Well, apart from that one-part coda.

Sure, ABCs has had plenty of bad times in a way Zenith didn't, but I'm still a sucker for robots and wil always prefer to spend time with those ABCs. Even seeing them in the background of this very forum brings me joy in a way Zenith's mug wouldn't.

Just a day to go here and have to say I'm pretty surprised how this is going. Well either way I'll count up in the morning.

VOTING CLOSED

Really surprised by this one. No so much the final result, which I felt could go either way. Rather the lack of love for Zenith. I have Morrison and Yeowell's thrill down and a tight focused superb thrill that really helped punch 2000ad into its 2nd (?) age. ABC Warriors is a street fighter of a thrill. Wildly swinging and landing some amazing blows, but missing by miles more of the time. In the vote though

ABC Warriors

Won this one simply and early.

Interesting out come but not a lot of people voted.
