Episodic is good!

Cursed Earth

I guess I haven't been paying attention: how did The Pit end up in the bottom half of the seedings...? Hate to vote against such an important story, but let's face it: it's The Apocalypse War. Pure comics.

If we were voting for Necropolis including all the build up, then I'd vote for that. But I believe The Dead Man is its own thing, so I'll give a pointless vote to Titan / Enceladus. There's a lot more going on in that story than in the 26-part Necropolis, and Flint's art, for me, has the edge: he did a sensational job on this one.

I got a big wave of '70s nostalgia from Colin's post... walking across the Meadows in Edinburgh, every week, to the Science Fiction Bookshop. My first exposure to Marvel was in some of those anthologies: Forces in Combat and Future Tense. Weird mixture of stuff in those comics...

Also enjoying Big Meg One a lot. Thanks for reminding me how great Al's Baby was: relentlessly entertaining, and Ezquerra goes just the right amount of cartoonish on it. Looks like he was having fun. Complete edition (three stories) on sale for $5 in 2000AD app right now: no excuse not to!

1. Chief Judge's Man
2. City of the Damned
3. Dead Ringer (I like this one!)

Luna City has some classic episodes, but also some filler: and it really isn't one story, which cost it third place.

Should have been the final! McMahon's peaks are arguably the greater, but on average, King Carlos is the master. (Literally: was he not a big influence on McMahon?)

Both great Dredd artists, obviously, but Cam Kennedy was great at everything, so he gets the win.

Ouch! I'd have put money on 'Tour of Duty' being top 3. If you leave nostalgia for the early stuff aside, I think it's John Wagner's masterpiece. But I take the point about its fragmented nature: there's more than one kind of 'epic'...

That episode of Slaine was wonderful: made me feel like I was 14 again. I've been getting a bit bored with the Prog lately: turns out all I needed was a [spoiler] big fight with a guy getting his face sliced off![/spoiler].

If it keeps up like this, it'll be some of the greatest Slaine art ever: a ridiculously high bar!
