Forum’s Fav Thrill - Rogue Trooper vs. Harlem Heroes (Reboot) Rd 2 Heat 117

[Colin YNWA]

Penultimate week, just two weeks to go - which if you consider that we started this Round in January is quite something. Enjoy these dog days of Round 2 as while we have some meaty ties in these last two weeks it's going to be nothing compared to some of the sinkers you will have in Round 3. You'll look back at the easy days and decisions you've had to make in Round 2 with fondness. Just check out Funt Solo's wonderful Round 2 so far thread to get a sense of what Round 3 will be...

Now this would have been an astonishingly interesting tie if it'd been the Rogue Trooper (reboot) not regular Rogue... but it's not... and a clash between two rubbish thrills isn't really 'astonishing' interesting is it!    ... so I'll shut up there. As it is Old Rogue still has a massive reputation (even if... and I whisper this... think it's pretty rubbish) so we know what's going to happen here right...

Rogue Trooper all the way

Has to be the original Rogue Trooper.

I'm not a fan of either of these, but Harlem Heroes represents one of the worst eras of the Prog and some of the worst dialogue ever to grace the magazine. Some of the art was good, but that's it. Rogue Trooper is frequently silly and degenerates into a mess with The Hit (even if the abrupt wrap-up was OK) but easily wins this particular battle.

I got the impression at the time that Rogue was very popular. But I preferred other things.

I only read the original HH a few years ago and I guess the way to describe it, is it's of it's time.

Overall: Rogue.

Rogue for sure.

[Barrington Boots]

Even Steve Dillon can't save HH here, Rogue Trooper all the way.

[Link Prime]

Any of you freaks vote for Fleisher's HH yet?
No?

Rogue Trooper all the way to the Quartz Zone without a parachute.

[AlexF]

errr... Rogue Trooper.

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Never been a fan of Rogue, but the HH reboot was an abomination. So, grudgingly, Rogue.
