Welcome to the second knockout round where we will choose our favorite story arc.

We already have three story arcs that has qualified.

So, let's get the next showdown up and running: The best Button Man story ever told was the first ever Button Man story told and that is The Killing Game

A bit of me wants to sat Book 2 just to mix it up but I'd be kidding myself,

Yep you are spot on.

It definitely Book 1.

The rest were just riffing on that.

Yeah, no argument. For me it's 1 > 4 > 2 > 3, but not a dud in the bunch. Book 2 I'd argue has the cleverest thriller-style plotting, but 1 nailed the character and tone so well nothing else touches it, except Book 4 which shakes things up a lot both characterwise and of course artwise.

Yeah do think Book 4 gets a needlessly hard time. It's a great story and change in art really works for it.

Sometimes change is hard to accept.

Yes I agree with that. I remember at the time finding the art really jarring. On a re-read last month I thought it was great. I guess at the time I wasn't familiar with Fraser Irving. But I am now and indeed he did the art on my (co-)favourite Megazine strip.

Easy one since everyone agrees with me as The Killing Game goes to the grand finale
