What are your classic 2000AD series since Zenith?

Of course, you may not even think Zenith a classic (I think the first phase was anyway) but it's just a reference point, the late eighties when 2000AD was still on a high.  I was just wondering if people thought there had been any other classic series since.  

We are talking stories on a par with Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dogs, Slaine etc.  Which, when I now think about, it were all early eighties if not earlier.  

I've been away a while and until they send me back (cold, dark... the screams) I'd be interested to know what I've missed and, well, just what people who aren't me (you all will be when I've perfected the weapon) like.

So, what have been your 'new' classics of the 90's onwards? Saying there was no classics isn't saying that those stories were bad.  Lot's of stories I like aren't really classics I guess (Harry Twenty!).

Um, I really enjoyed the last series of Mercy Heights, with its new cliffhanger every week. Sorry. But it was one of the things that brought me back to 2000AD, as did the huge 1999 Devlin Waugh and Missionary Man epics. No accounting for taste, eh?  

Button Man
Durham Red
Dante and Sinister Dexter, of course (Sinister Dexter, like Finlay-Day's original Rogue Trooper stories, is very variable in quality)
ummm... that's it, I think.
