Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Anyone else think it's about time for another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yeah, I've been thinking it for a long time! I still want to do the best comic book couples, as well as the best teen hero, but I don't have the time to oversee one right now. If, however, someone else is willing to step up to the plate, I'd have no problem letting them reign over it. That said, what kind of tournament should we run?

Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Anything but another video game one. My picks get slaughtered every time. That said, I'd be willing to run whatever we do come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 What about a poll to crown the most overrated comic book creator. Is that too spiteful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George W. Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 If that poll turns out to be anything other than MacFarlane in a walk, I riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Not that I'm the biggest Todd McFarlane fan, but he did define an era, and helped usher in a movement that led to more rights for creators. When it comes to his art and storytelling, sure, he's near the top of the overrated pile, but I think other things have to be considered when doing a poll like this.

Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 How about best comic artist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 When it comes to a poll like that, it should almost be called The Second Best Comic Book Artist. Even though Jack Kirby's style has never been my cup o' tea (though it's growing on me), his storytelling, action, facial expressions, co-creations and legacy makes him the Number One guy. Ever. It's not that I'm against Jack winning the poll (he should), it's that I don't want a predictable outcome. Personally, I'd rather see something like The Best Comic Book Artist of the Last 20 Years.

Dan Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The real question is, could Kirby beat Liefeld in a round of foxy boxing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Even though it will be a rather predictable Chaykin/Liefeld final, I think the idea has legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 How about most badass fictional government agent? We could have Bond, Jack Bauer, and Nick Fury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 There wouldn't be much to work with outside of those three, I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Snake wins and not one vote for Nick Fury? Clearly I wasn't around. Damn video gamers! NERDS NERDS NERDS!!! We now return to your regularly scheduled programming. Is Liefeld overrated? Maybe 15 years ago but he's pretty much universally, and excessively, panned nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
