Bad news concerning 'Strontium Dog: The 2000ad years vol.1' - Amazon has this listed on their website as comprising 192 pages; and whilst Amazon are often wrong about minor details, this does not look good for having a complete run of the stories (considering 'Portrait of a Mutant' has been confirmed in the blurb). It is looking increasingly like this will omit a number of the strips which I am extremely disappointed about and can see no justification for.

Can any driods confirm what Strontium Dog: The 2000AD Years will collect? Is the intent of this series to collect the complete 2000AD years in hardback, or is this a 'best of' series? I'm really hoping for the former!

I'm voting Fiends of the Eastern Front.

I haven't read Halo in a few years but recently re-read the fist two Fiends series, so I'm blaming recency bias.

This is an awesome way of presenting the results! I appreciate the visuals and effort. Interesting to see classics like Rogue and Slaine have fallen but stories like The Journal of Luke Kirby and Savage still stand...how much of the final results will be down to luck `O the draw?

Zenith. It's not a top thrill for me but I overall enjoyed it and prefer it to most Anderson stuff I've read.

ABC Warriors. For the records... I mistakenly posted that Skizz book III had some redeeming qualities, however, I was wrong! It's book II that I somewhat enjoyed...book III was bad and book I was great! Regardless, ABC Warriors any day.

I have a lot of love for Rogue...but Kingdom is the series that I'll re-read more often and the series I want more of.

As stated by others, Strontium Dog, and it’s not even close.

Not because it's nostalgic for me, I've only been a Squaxx for ~6 years. Strontium Dog because I enjoy it much more!

I'm being Captain Obvious here but for me it's Judge Death!
The portcullis helmet, the way he sticks his fingers right through people's chests to squeeze their hearts, and the ectoplasm version that worms its way into people's heads. Always reminded me of the Alien, in that it has two kinda distinct forms that work together to destroy people inside and out...

Also, whisper it, I kinda like the stories where he's being funny, too.

^All of this^ The OG, Death!
