472, because nameless soldiers always die. Redshirts FTW.

[Chronos]

473 starts off good, with the disembowelment threats and all, but Elan's idiocy at the end is really tiresome. And we see something of how impressive the Monster in the Dark is in 475, but that's about all it has going for it.

472, though, is a classic from beginning to end. A lot of people were eagerly awaiting the reveal of the NPCs' names. So that's my vote.

On a completely separate note, I somehow get the vague impression that that's the one Mauve Shirt is going to vote for, too.

[Remirach]

472 is definitely the one that leaps out at me in this sequence. Classic.

[Mauve Shirt]

472 :smallbiggrin:

Dammit :smalltongue:

[David Argall]

475 for buzzard stew

[CasESenSITItiVE]

471

"Will you stop pointing out the repetitiveness of the b-plots and hurry up?"
:smallbiggrin:

[CarpeGuitarrem]

I want to vote for 472...but the Shadow-Creature and Belkar are crying out...

475

[Niknokitueu]

Hmmm... It seems fairly well split between 472 and 475.

The wise money says 472 will win, so 475 is the one for me.

Have Fun!

[Kurald Galain]

472 is the funniest.

[warmachine]

474. Love the references.

[kukn]

Not bad, but not quite as amazing as the last few rounds. 472 is going to wi anyway (fair deal), I think another strip deserves at least one vote:

473

[dish]

I'm going to vote for 472 as well.

471 A Triumphant Return (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0471.html)
472 I'll Hold Them Off (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0472.html)
473 On the Waterfront (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0473.html)
474 The Body Snatcher (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0474.html)
475 Crashing the Party (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0475.html)

I vote 472 "having a name".

Belkar as gourmet-chef would be a close second... :smallbiggrin:

[Kato]

Aw... there are some good ones... but I think Daigo's and Kaumi's rise has a small advantage over the MitD getting angry... please ^^' So, it's a 472, even if the other's are quite good as well!

[Mordae]

472, at the risk of seeming just to go along with the crowd. I really did like it :smallsmile:

[Emperor Demonking]

475 I choose,

[Zed the Sharp]

472.

Elan's Genre Savvy, and echoes (for me, at least) of Galaxy Quest and Last Action Hero.

[TroyXavier]

472 if just for the final panel.

[carebearbecky]

475, I just find the MitD getting angry far too funny for my own good.

[Morgan Wick]

Bump. Let's get to the second page this time, mmmkay?

Aaaand I posted that almost two hours before the deadline. Well, at least the results, once again, don't seem to be affected.

Very quickly: 477 is epic, the Elan crowd will love 478, and Redcloak fans will like 480. 477 and 480 are the early favorites with 478 and 479 likely to lag behind and 476 looking like the runt.

[Red XIV]

Gotta go with 472.
