Game: SILVER AGE SURVIVOR SERIES - Final Round

[Aman619]

One thing thats good about the new software here is that nobody can vote twice anymore. w/o TRYING to cheat the system with a shill ID that is...

[Mac Man]

I voted for FF #1. It was tough to choose. Even though FF #1 was first and provided the template. AF #15 and the character of Spider-man took the ball and ran with it, achieving far greater popularity than the FF.

 

Same here.

[ashrael]

I think that Spidey is obviously the most popular but that is not what I believe this is about. F4 is what all comics hope to achieve. Definition. To define their medium, their era and secure a place in history

 

Agreed, time for Spidey to go bye-bye (still is and always will be my favorite character).

[goldust40]

FF 1 is losing...

 

 

I wouldn't worry about that...

 

I have a bad feeling the disgruntled DC crew

with shill up the AF 15 out of sheer hatred

to assure the webhead's demise.

 

 

That's way beyond JC conspiracy territory there. I doubt the vicious DC mob (whoever they are ) will honestly give a damn either way.

Spidey easily, FF 1 may be scarcer than AF 15, but at the end of the day everyone knows and recognises The Amazing one! Easy vote if you ask me!

[ignimbrite]

It is a hard call but AF 15 not only introduces a (the) classic character from the silver age but it also containts, what I feel, is one of the best single issue stories of the silver age (and probably any age).

 

This all from a DC collector!

[toro]

I grew up buying comics in the 60's, read any and all comics. I liked Spidey, but he wasn't my favorite, but in the grand scheme of which book is the most important in the Silver Age hands down it is Amazing Fantasy #15!

 

My favorite book during those days were the Avengers. For me, no book was greater than Spidey Annual #3, Spidey, Hulk and the Avengers, I went COO-COO for Cocoa Puffs when that hit the stands! But I digress!

93 total votes and only 5 seperate them. Interesting.

yea, this is going to be interesting.

[uclapeterg]

FF 1 is losing...

 

but it's very close!

[alwaysbronze]

neck and neck down to the wire

[Scheradon]

I voted FF #1. Close call, but Spidey is more iconic and IS the cornerstone to the Marvel franchise.

[Shadow]

I think Spidey's lead is good enough to take it. The gap hasn't fluxuated much over the last 40+ votes.

[Mac Man]

I dunno... still too close and still around 20-22 hours left. Anybody's game still I say.

[JohnT]

Easy vote for me, keep FF.

 

FF was the heart and soul of Marvel in the early years, and for good reason. Great characters, great subplots, great villians, and incredible art.

 

I do think that Spider-man was a more fleshed out and interesting character than any other Marvel character, but FF had multiple great characters and earth-shattering storylines. I always got the sense that Stan was having fun when he wrote Spider-man, but was really trying to write great drama with FF.

 

And I prefer classic Kirby over Ditko as a matter of taste. That's not a knock on Ditko, just homage to the King.

 

Thanks Shadow for starting this. It's been fun!

[mar-vell]

FF#1 should win IMO

 

the magic started there- it wasn't just first out of the gate FF1 is where the chemistry that became the marvel age began.

[Mac Man]

So... what happens when this thread is finished? What's the next great battle?
