What If? The Edgiverse thrills had collided. Crisis on Infinite Edgiverse starts here as thrills move via the Temple of Mithras to collide and Jack Dancer encounters London's dandy lord of crime.

Stinkybum for me please, as I really can't get into The Red Seas.

The Red Seas - mostly because of the hollow earth story with the dinosaurs.
Haven't read much of either of these, but I'd rather read more Red Seas.
Loved the first two series of Red Seas. Haven't really loved any series of Stickleback. But then there's the art. And I've found Steve Yeowell to go from an artist whose worked I looked forward to each week to one who leaves me a bit bored. And it was his tenure on the Red Seas wot did it. D'Israeli, meanwhile, mixes up his styles so often that's it's always thrilling, and perhaps never more so than the mad greytone magic he weaves on Stickleback.
So yeah, Red Seas is the surperior story, but I'd rather spend 6 pages each week drinking in Stickleback.
A day to go and its a little quieter on this one than I expected - though folks have every right to be burnt out. Anyway a day to rally the votes and make the call and I'll count up in the morning.
D'israeli is just incredible but story-wise I'm voting Red Seas.

I like Stickleback a lot, but I'd rather re-read Red Seas. Just.
VOTING CLOSED
A little surprised by this one. Red Seas seemed to get a tarnished rep as it headed towards its end, it seemed like folks had had enough. I wonder wherever the recent collection in the UC has given some folks the chance to reevaluate. Or maybe, like me folks have also loved the Harryhausen pirate epic? Stickleback isn't without its own controversies and possibly more damaging long hiatus. Still I thought it was more popular and while this was close
Red Seas
floats to the surface and sends Stickleback down to Dave Jone's locker.
