Sweet 16, Round 1: Hulk #180-182 vs Watchmen #1-12

[AlexH]

Wolverine kept Marvel alive, while Watchmen was just a good read

 

I thought we were comparing stories (Hulk 180-182 vs. Watchmen 1-12) not characters...

 

Exactly.

 

You guys can compare whatever you want. Stories, characters, sales, artists, writers, inkers, importance, hair styles...it doesn't matter. If you like the book for a specific reason, then that is what counts.

That's the way I've been voting... Significance can mean may things...

Wolverine vs Joseph Kovacs (Rorschach)

 

with an undercard of:

 

Wendigo vs the Silk Spectre

You wouldn't want to meet Wendigo on a bad hair day.

[Bonds25]

One of the best comic stories of all time vs a pretty lame origin story. Hmmmm.... - I'll go with Watchmen!

Holy Photo Finish Batman!

 

P.S. Alex. I was a fan of the original "seeded" contests, as matching up "similar" comics could have us ending with something like a "Watchmen vs. DKR & Thor 337 vs. Crisis" semi-finals. At the very least, let's keep a few important books, (like Watchmen and DKR) in separate pools to see if they can match-up at the end.

Moore marches on. Truly nothing can stand in the titans' way, except possibly that upstart Miller.

I'll do what I can, but can't guarantee who is going to be around for the next round. I am trying to keep it fair, as I am determining the all the matches for the round, prior to posting the 1st match. So all of the matches are set for this round.

 

I do think most of the big names will be there at the end regardless of what I do. But we'll see...

[Zonker]

Still can't believe Daredevil:Born Again didn't survive (not your fault Alex, just the way the voting has gone).

 

And I say that as a card-carrying member of the Moore Zombies.
