Forum’s Fav Thrill - Sinister Dexter vs. Tao De Moto Rd 3 Heat 38

[Colin YNWA]

There might not be quite the level of thrills we had last week in Week 5, but it exemplifies just how tough this tournament is becoming. A middling week quality wise and we still get some right interesting ties and some really top draw thrills. It's only going to get harder folks!

I've said it before and I'll say it again Tao De Moto was a very interesting experiment in the Prog and one I personally would have loved to have been given a better chance... or lead to more of a similar nature at least. It's taken out Synnamon so far but will it have enough to take down our favourite Gunsharks. the odds seem stacked and they have gunned down Tales of Telguuth already so go into this with weapons already locked for bear...

Totally agree with your thoughts on Tao de Moto, Colin - but no way I'm not votin' for Sinister Dexter.

It remains one of those strips that the Prog relies on, that can do shorts or one offs and can do longer stories and epics. Or indeed epics consisting of a series of shorts.

(Even if current scheduling is treating it more like filler).

I'm pretty sure Tao de Mato didn't exist before this thread was opened, so I'll skip this one.

Based on that recent Meg feature, no-one knows where Myra Hancock went, which presumably put paid to a thrill that wasn't exactly having readers clamouring for more. I liked it though. It's a pity it didn't get more time, because it was doing something different and interesting, during a period where the Prog itself had entered a tailspin.

Sin/Dex. Well, it's among my least favourite Abnett thrills, and its tendency to keep going on and on with increasingly convoluted resets is beginning to grate. Still, it has the edge here, albeit for me only marginally, and mostly because Tao De Moto just stopped.

SinDex is one off that has done every Marvel/DC regen possible, is morally reprehensible but has some good puns.

tao de moto was in interesting and alternative to the Macho fan boy gun culture of the time, a brave but useless show or compassion as Mr Weller would say.
