In the recent 2000AD survey, each person could make up to 5 suggestions for graphic novels. Here are the results for the 333 surveys I entered. Apoligies for not expanding the codes, but you should be able to work them out. I didn't code individual stories, except for Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog The Final Solution:

Interesting that Zenith got such a high (or should that be low!) rating.

I am surprised.

I thought it was one of 2k's finest strips myself.

But then what do I know!!!

Interesting how Zenith appears in both the favourite and least favourite stories...

Wake

This may have been because of zzzzenith.com, which was not as good as the original stories and so didn't bode well for the future.

Ditto Slaine...just because people don't want him back doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't like him when he was in his prime.

As Judge Dredd would say:

"Who understands the citizens?"

I think the first series of Zenith was one of THE best things ever in 2000AD, the second series was merely okay, the third series increasingly disjointed and with regret i've never read the last series.  zzzenith.com was quite interesting (i don't think you can expect much from a one off six page strip) but Morrison writing the whole Britney assualt thing made want to be sick, much like his b*ggery of Dan Dare which seemed to be his attempt to violate things he didn't approve of, pretty sick if you ask me.  The thought of a fifth series isn't neccesarily a pretty one.

But that first series was very, very good.

paulvonscott

That's a very good point.

Wanting a series back is a double edged sword, it may either be outright bad (bad robohunter) or just okay, which is almost just as bad.

If it is just okay it may mean that the story has gone as far as it can go or even that it's now just a little anachronistic.

I would love Halo Jones back for a fourth series.  But then, I also maybe wouldn't.  Moore and Gibson are still brilliant but what if it just didn't work?  It would cast a pall over all the previous stuff.

Still if Morrison could do produce a tightly written story and Stev Yeowll could reach the same detailed level he did in the first book I'd happily see it back.  If it just was to sit at the bottom of what has so far been a downward curve, I'd rather they didn't bother.

The final book ties up all the loose ends.

What do you think of it?  If it ties up all the loose ends then I think I'll buy it when Titan reprint it (if they do) anyway.
