Shame there isn't a "both" option.

Personally I don't think he could kill one without killing the strip completely dead.

I know it's overexposed at the moment, and needs to be used sparingly, but it is a strip with a lot of potential for telling stories.

I purposly left out the "BOTH" option. Forcing a choice one way or the other. Both would be the easy option, which I think way too many people would choose.

Whilst it would be the end of the story, I feel that Ramone could hold the "revenge" story that would be needed better than Finnnegan.  Hence my vote.

Fuck it, just kill both of 'em. There doesn't need to be a discussion about it. Or give them back to Tarantino, heh, heh

There was an episode early on where it looked like Sinister was dead and Dexter was wandering about with his superspeed and his head-telly helping out people in trouble. I remember feeling really cheated when Sinister came back at the end of that story and things got baack to normal...

Finny's had several near-death experiences already (11th Commandment, and that other one he met The Grim Reaper) so I think it'd only be fair if Ramone bit the bullet.

Destroy one side of each then surgically join the remaining halves down the middle, creating, like, a supergunshark. Cue hilarious arguments over who gets to wash what and lines like "We'll take the Dex- bit from my name and the -ter bit from yours!"

"In my country, we have problem, and the problem is transportation."

You're all fools.  Kill the trendy black male character that all trend-slave fiction must feature BY LAW, and interest will wane for Sin/Dex, forcing Tharg to finally put the strip to rest.
Or one of them will die, and then be replaced by their double from an alternate dimension.  Or they'll end up in a dimension where they died years ago and have a 'It's a Wonderful Life' type experience of Downlode as it would have been without them, and Demi Octavo's still dead, so they've been feeling guilty for years for NO REASON, cue group hug and Dabnett's head going up his own arse.

Actually, it might have taken a while, but Sin/Dex has finally grown on me.  I just wish Abnett would write a story with a bit of meat to it, as the last few years have been rather forced comedy fluff-pieces.  But kill the black fellow, then have the mick turn into a grim parody of a violent Irish drunk, then Abnett can pretend to be Garth Ennis for a while, just like the guy who writes 'Punisher' for Marvel is doing.

Kill 'em all and let Tharg sort 'em out.

I think Tharg's a bit of a Sin/Dex fan, Dud, so that may not be the best option...

They should kill Dexter, by shoving a nuclear bomb (sideways) into Sinister then detonating it when they are within 3 yards of each other.

They should kill Finny, as he's essentially turning into Cassidy from Preacher, without the vampirism.

Plus, Dex has that whole "no pupils" thing that worked so well for Johnny Alpha and Rogue Trooper...

Why is it only Dan Abnett who is allowed to kill one of them.

Dexter gets the bullet but is only paralysed from the waist down. Then him and Sinister have an argument about whether humans can live peacefully with gunsharks or whether there must be WAR between the two species. Dex, having shaved himself bald in order to get better reception, wheels himself around picking up the cream of the gunsharks and training them to fight Sinister. Training them in a special room, a room full of danger. A 'danger room' if you will. And Kal Cutter gets more literal in his name as he forgets how to make guns out of his hand and only makes big slashy knives, and he can't remember his origin BUT HE DOES REMEMBER THAT HE IS A SAMURAI!!! If only he could control the BEAST within! "Vayase" thinks Dexter "my group of men need a name yes a name I am DEX and these are my MEN we shall be the DEX MEN hated and feared by a world that hates and fears us! Vayase!"

NOW THE FITE.
