Category Winners

Top Marvel/DC Team-Up - Batman & Captain America and Nightwing & Spider-Man
Top Marvel vs. DC - N/A
Top Comic Character who needs a show etc. - Booster Gold and Birds of Prey
Most Overrated - Hulk, Superman and Damian Wayne
Most Used Character on Teams - Huntress

Well I've gotta say, these were some damn good picks you guys. I'd love to see most if not all of these things happen, especially Bucky vs. Dick or Jason. The top Marvel vs. DC fight was kinda hard to find an average on so I didn't have that one. I've also been clamoring for some Booster Gold in media for a while now, so with the Golden One appearing on Smallville this season, hopefully it leads to bigger things. Superman and Damian are both overrated in their own ways so I can see how they tied for that category, and Huntress is the MVP as the most recruited member, so maybe she should get a little more page time in Birds of Prey. Thanks everyone for participating, feel free to discuss everyone's picks below in the comments and what you like or dislike about them! And I'll be back later this week with Ratings and Rantings. Until then I'm your friendly Neighborhood Blogger-Man, JT!

Edit: The Poll results and a new poll will be posted along with the next Ratings and Rantings.

  2. Well thanks Ms. Falisha Ann :) Glad you're enjoying the Top 5 Five's so much. I'd have my team vs. Your Team anyday, I'd even substitute Tim Drake for Huntress :P

    Oh, if anyone wants to submit categories for a future edition, feel free to do so.

  3. Man, we were really seeing eye to eye with a lot of these categories, JT! Oh, and I just wanted to add that Hulk was also tied for tops in most overrated. The only reason I mention that little fact is because I hate Hulk! :P

  4. Right? I found it funny we both wanted to see Bucky vs. a Robin. I think everyone had some pretty awesome picks, that's why I love these Top 5's.

    And thanks X, gonna edit it now.

  5. Good choices, people. On the subject of Robin vs. Bucky, you know what else would be interesting? Female Robin from Dark Knight Returns vs. female Bucky from the Heroes Reborn Universe! Haha, I just think it's so funny that both DC and Marvel ended up creating girl versions of their two most popular sidekick characters.

    I don't hate the Hulk, but I don't think he's been used very well for a long time. I'd like to see something like the Bruce Jones run again, which was good until they basically pulled a "One More Day" at the end of it and claimed the whole thing had been a dream or something.

    Oh and by the way, I'm doing two reviews this week! I posted one today, and the other will be posted on Friday as usual.

  6. I had no idea there was a female Bucky! Now I've gotta look this up, but that is pretty funny how DC and Marvel kinda mirror each other in a lot of ways.

    How do you get away with saying everything's a dream without pissing off a TON of people?

    Don't you shill your blog here Marc!!!! :P Kidding, I'll go check out today's review right after I finish watching this episode of Supernatural.

  7. They recently brought the female Bucky into the main universe in her own miniseries, although who knows if it was any good. Maybe X has read it?

    That's the thing, they DIDN'T get away with it, haha. There are a lot of people still upset over the whole thing, just like there are a lot of people still angry over OMD.

    Haha! Well I just thought I'd let you know in case you were only in the habit of checking on Fridays, which would make sense.

  8. I saw that when I just google'd her, that sounds dirty, and yeah, Hopefully X or someone can give us a recommendation.

    Haha, Man I'd hate to have to take the blame for one of those. Then again I'd be pissed if I was told the money on the last 50 issues I just spent was worthless since it was a dream.

    Lol I'm just pulling your short legs bro :P (God that chat was fun), and thanks for letting me know dude. Looks like you and Kello got new posts up.

    ReplyDelete
  9. You're not far off in saying 50 issues, since Jones' run went approximately from Hulk #30-80. That's eight or nine trades' worth of stories, gone just because someone at Marvel decided they didn't like them anymore!

    I'll be looking forward to our next chat. And Kello's post was a pleasant surprise since we hadn't heard anything from him in a little while.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh Man! Imagine if you liked the first trade, bought the next seven, then talked to someone and their like, oh, those issues were just dreams. I'd hate that.

    Same here, that was great. Definitely one of the highlights of my week. Yeah, And I'm glad Kello decided not to delete HK, so we can go back and read stuff and etc.

  11. Well, since you guys are curious, I guess I should dish on the female Bucky, shouldn't I? :P First off, I never really liked the character, but I pretty much hated everything about the Counter Earth stuff, so there's that. She actually crossed over to the mainstream Marvel U in the entirely forgettable Onslaught Returns(or maybe it was Onslaught Reborn... I don't remember, thus the whole "forgettable" line), and wound up taking up the Nomad name soon thereafter. I didn't read the Nomad mini, 'cause like I said, the character never really did much for me. FYI, she's currently a member of the Young Allies team(with Gravity!).

    Man, I didn't know about that Hulk stuff with Bruce Jones! I remember he was the writer who got shafted by DC when they decided not to kill off Dick Grayson, thus screwing up his plans for making Nightwing a Jason Todd series. Huh, he really hasn't had good experiences in the world of comics!

  12. Another reason for me to check out Young Allies: to solve the mystery of what the deal with this chick is! Oh, and that crappy miniseries was called Onslaught Reborn.

    Jones tends to keep out of the more popular superhero books now, probably because he's tired of having the rug pulled out from under him. Lately he's been writing Checkmate and a few years ago he did Deadman, two series I would imagine he has pretty free reign on.
