Sideshow Vote II: Simply the best – Number VI

[broodblik]

Welcome to the sixth knockout round where we will choose our favorite story arc.
We already have seven story arcs that has qualified.

Whom is the next to do a takedown? The best Zenith book is naturally Phase III:
-   Yay, you are spot on
-   Nay, surely you are mistaken it must be .................................

[Colin YNWA]

Phase 3 had always been my favourite, but on a recent read

Phase 2

shone.

[credo]

Yes, Phase 3. The brilliant range of characters (imagine how many of them would have been given their own series if it was The Big Two), the tying together of long-dangling plot threads, and Yowell's art at the best it has ever been.

Controversially, I'm also a sucker for Phase IV due to the pitch-perfect early '90s reference points, the apocalyptic storyline and the clever resolution.

[Magnetica]

Phase One.

[Timothy]

I do like Phase 3, but for me the best has got to be Phase 1. It's a cracking self-contained story, it has Red Dragon's rise and subsequent fall, it has punching nazis to death and, in the context of the wider story, it set's everything up beautifully.

[AlexF]

Phase II by miles. I know there's no law saying that the title character of a comic has to also be the main character, but Zenith is alos the most interesting character and I'd rather see what he's getting up to - he's barely in Books III and IV. And although he's the star of Phase I I prefer the James Bond plot shenanigans of II.

[sheridan]

Phase I best (for reasons given by Timothy), then IV, III and II.

[broodblik]

You have until Monday to choose your Zenith

Voting Close

Phase I is the winner

[Colin YNWA]

Oh that's interesting. I always assume Phase 3 will be the favourite, though I know one has always been popular, I actually find it the weakest, though it is just brilliant at that.

[broodblik]

Phase I and II got the same total off votes. For me it was always between Phase I and III
