Dread Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Here it is! Seven picks from across the omniverse of comics. One villain selection. Who will have the greatest crossover event of all time? Let's find out. The rules and regulations: 1. Your team will have seven picks. If you only wish to have five, then you will sit out on the 6th and 7th round until the villain round. 2. The picking order will not snake. In order to be as fair as possible, the name of each person will be written on a piece of paper and the order will be picked form the blank DVD tower lid that I draw all Dread Media contest winners from. 3. You may NOT pick more than one character from a specified universe. If you pick Savage Dragon, then you may not pick Spawn because they inhabit the same shared universe. 4. You MAY pick characters from the same publisher PROVIDED they do not share the same universe. If you pick Savage Dragon, then you can have him team up with Walking Dead's Rick Grimes to take on zombie superfreaks. They do not inhabit the same universe, so that is fine. 5. You may ONLY pick one character published by Marvel Comics. 6. You may ONLY pick one character published by DC/VERTIGO/WILDSTORM Comics. 7. ONE of your picks may be a non-comics-originated property, provided they have appeared in a published comic book. For example: Darth Vader. Who's in? UPDATE Here's the picking order. I hope Will can do the spreadsheet for this. I assure you, this is totally random. If you question that, well, then suit yourself, and do some other stuff to yourself too. I think it's fair that anybody else wanting in can do so until round one is over. They will be added to the end in the order in which they request to be "in."

dc20willsave Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm in. Now, how about sub-publishers like, if I pick a DC character, can I pick a Vertigo or Wildstorm character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Ooh! Good question: no! You may not. But Wildstorm published Ares: God of War, so he could be your non-comics originated pick if you like. Vertigo and Wildstorm count as DC picks.

Stavros Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Quick question, how many variations on Dr Who are we allowed between us? Because they've all been in comics under various companies, but then they also count as a non-comics character realised in comics. Just saying, if one of us picks the 4th could another go with the 10th? Especially since he's a character that frequently crosses his own continuity I was totally going to go with the Governor as my villain, but I got a little upset at the idea of him crossing over with some of my other choices. I don't want anything that horrible to happen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'd say all of the iterations of The Doctor count as one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Fair enough. I wasn't actually going to pick him anyway, not sure why I posed the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sure, in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom BITD Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'll give it a shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom BITD Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Although it occurs to me...if the non-comics character I want was, let's say, published by DC--does that eliminate my DC pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Des will have the final say, but I'd suggest we ignore the publisher when it comes to licensed characters. The reason being, which company would Captain Kirk eliminate: Gold Key, DC, Marvel, or IDW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah, Doc Savage, Solar, and Conan alone would rule out a bunch. Licensed characters should be ok from any publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I think it's fair to say that we can draw the picking order tonight. Anyone else who still wants in after that will be added at the end of the list. Late this evening I'll edit the first post with the picking order.

Tom BITD Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Another question-- If you want a Wildstorm character who appeared BEFORE Wildstorm was absorbed into DC, and who hasn't appeared in the mainstream Wildstorm Universe (this character is a Homage imprint character)--would it be allowed?

Koete Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 What about the comics published under Icon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 That works. Icon isn't part of Marvel proper. I think Vertigo works too, as long as the characters have not been proven to be in the DCU. If you've picked The Creeper, then Jesse Custer is ok to pick, but not Morpheus.

Dread Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The list has been generated! The picking may begin. Will, do you mind doing the spreadsheet for this, please? I'm fucking hopeless with that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Des, glad that $20 got to you, Anyway, my first pick in the draft, from Marvel, is Fantomex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
