I'm fighting with Abnett block

Twice - don't think our voter fraud checks aren't top notch. I'm like a razer sharp vote rigging catchin' person me!

(mind for reason some might be able to grasp I might let this slide. Pat is beginning to pull away, just a little)

Whatever could have you in such magnanimous fettle this morning,  ColinYNWA?

How many pitchers of Carling Black Label would have been sold in Concert Square if the boozers were open this week do you reckon?

Are the fish still there in... that bar with the fish? I've not been to Concert Square for years it was always a hassle!

Though to keep on track errr... if one writer had to write a story in a mid-size plaza in a port town that is always over-run by 6.30 on a weekend evening who would you rather do it Dabnett or Mills?

What I find interesting is that the votes I counted for Top 10 Rebellion Year Tourney so far Mills does not have one strip in the top ten but Abnett has two in the top five. I think when I run the Galaxy's Greatest Tourney we most likely will see a different picture.
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.

Dan Abnett!

This is probably easier for me than it should be...Mills has written a few of my favorites but he is more miss than hit for me overall. Way to preachy about anarchy and dark forces etc. I often find myself speed reading through his thrills. Forever grateful for Cursed Earth, early ABC Warriors and (although not 2000ad) Charley's War.

Abnett on the other hand can do no wrong! Lawless, Kingdom, Brink, Insurrection etc. I can read those over and over again, just pure thrill power.

In recent years I find I skip reading a lot of Pat Mills' work.
I look forward to, and savour, new episodes of Lawless and Brink.

Abnett for the win.
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

I have been intrigued to see so much love for Kingdom in this thread and the Rebellion 20 years one. I joined this story in the middle somewhere and have never been able to make any sense of it. Perhaps I need to go back to the beginnning and find out what it is about.

One vote was cast while under the influence of alcohol.
