OK, I have no doubts that "Roulette", being the great story it is, is going to win, so...

...So I voted for "And then you die!", as it is a personal favourite Razz

Call it sympathy for the underdog, and interest in vindicating O'Neil's good stories (Miller's DD needs little vindication, thank the gods)

Going with "Roulette". The other two just don't float my boat at all.

One thing though, in rereading Nocenti's #291: Lance's friend, as they sit in the apartment amid all the rations and wearing hazmat suits and gasmasks, saying, "But, Lance, the war is in the desert. We won't blow up here in New York."

Lance replies, "Yes, we could, any minute." Chilling in retrospect, since that was 1991.
