BEST 'N' WORST:

BEST:
- Harry Hill's Real Life Adventures in TV Land 
- I can't believe I'm saying this but this story was great this week, great ending and a good laugh!
- Harry and his Hippo 
- Funny story, loved the idea of the Cabbage King haunting Hippo's dreams!
- Daredevil Dad
- The craziness and creativeness of this strip makes it brilliant every week!
- Phil's Finger 
- Nice story with brilliant artwork!
- Kid Cops
- Just great to see 'em back in the comic again!
- The Arena of Awesome
- We're studying Shakespeare at school so this strip was perfect, the humour was great plus the part about the plays was genius, I guess you could say the mutant thought Shakespeare was a temPEST! Ha ha! I'm a genius... Well... Maybe...
- Yore
- Fantastic strip, fairly gory yet not too gory... Plus the artwork for this week's was fantastic as was the storyline.
- The Bogies
- Very funny, The Bogies is getting better and better each week!
- Thingummyblob

LAST STRIP: Tag Team Tastic - Warwick Johnson Cadwell

- Two pages of crazy Jamie Smart fun with the lovable green creature Thingummyblob, what's not to love?!
- Clown Wars
- This page works a lot better as a one page strip, the story goes on longer plus there's more Nik Holmes goodness to enjoy!
- Bananaman
- I liked the continuous story idea plus the fact there were TWO stories!
- Justin Beaver
- A great parody with some great drawings, unfortunately the quality has come out badly on the writing so it's a bit blurred and gives me a headache to read...
- Desperate Dan
- This is great as it shows just how far Dan will go to get things his way, very funny plus lovely artwork by Jamie!
