Title: Incident on Mayger Minor vs. Bad Boys Bust Case - Bolt-01 Cup - Group 2 Game 3
Post by: Colin YNWA on 21 September, 2021, 06:17:52 AM
So the opening matches in this Group were really brutal, one sided, affairs and the two victorious thrills have just swapped opponents, so the qualifiers from this Group could well be decided by the end of these votes.

All you need to worry about which is your favourite between:

Incident on Mayger Minor - more info (https://www.comics.org/issue/46155/)

Vs

The Bad Boys Bust - more info (https://www.the-outpost.co.uk/product/strontium-dog-bubo-and-the-bad-boys/)

Just reply in this thread naming your favourite of these two stories at the beginning of your post (or use Bold tags so I can spot it easily) and say what you like about these wonderful stories after that.

Match ends early on the morning of Friday 24th September and the winner (I'll count up who gets the most votes basically) gets 3 points towards qualifying... huh...

... there's a spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F3W5KkY37ZcH39J93nq5hR5_RhPIvaOapv7sZ0EmvUQ/edit?usp=sharing) to make following easier... if you fancy. If not, don't worry just VOTE!!!!

I've tried to explain the finals here.  (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47894.0)

What on Earth is ALL of this? (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47697.msg1064493#msg1064493)

Why (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47696.0) on Tharg's Earth head are we doing this?

Any questions, just ask as ever - and have FUN!

Oh and my 'More info' links... well I don't say how much more and they get pretty wonky at times!

Incident on Mayger Minor

These are both TOP thrills. I love me some Bubo and howlers, but the Western elements of Incident win it for me.

Argh, it's the match-up I was dreading - my first Stront up against my comfort Stront.
Reckon it's got to be Incident, for the way Ma Froggett looks at Johnny...

Most tricky - Bad Boys was my introduction to Stront and in many ways is the better Stront story.  However, it's let down a little by the psychic ending, whereas Incident is just slightly better crafted, if less imaginative...

I'll let craaft win out on this one with Incident on Mayger Minor

VOTING CLOSED

There was a moment there when Bad Boys started to look like they could make this close and even, possibly rustle up a surprise. It would have been a big surprise, probably too big to be a possibility and in the end it was a clear win to

Incident in Mayger Minor

And as we'll see this has set up a crunch tie in the final round of matches...
