Best Thrill ever?

Hot on the heels of my quest to find the Best Prog ever, the mighty Colin Taylor aka Colin YNWA is hosting a grand, and I do mean GRAND tournament on the 2000AD forums to see which Thrill will rule them all.

The answer is obviously Judge Dredd.

So he's scrapped Judge Dredd from the running. Now the question of who will win, or rather, prove most popular, is harder to determine. There are some major contenders, but to make things more interesting he's doing it FA Cup style, with an elemnt of random draw involved which means that some titans will fall early on, even if the biggest names have been granted a bye into Round 2.

What counts as a thrill in contention here? My attempt at the shortest possible answer:

Any series that had a serialized print run in 2000AD or the Judge Dredd Megazine, and was a minimum of two episodes long. 'Series' here includes umbrella names for one-off stories - your Future Shocks, Vector 13s and so on. Reboots of series are treated as separate entities, for instance Harlem Heroes will have two entries. Spin-offs will also get separate entries subject to Colin's decision on if a spin-off really counts as a separate thing (for example, Tales from the Doghouse WILL count; Downlode Tales won't).

Anyway, don't worry about how Colin arrived at the long, LONG list of contenders. Worry instead about which thrill is BEST.


Round 1 has just about wrapped up, after 87 Heats.

Here are the results.
