BRACKET 3 / 2 Nominations – TITLE WITH THE MOST VOTES MOVES ONTO THE FINAL ROUND
Please vote for the Graphic Novel you feel is the best :
- X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga by Chris Claremont
- Kingdom Come by Mark Waid
These polls are all about interaction and community - come on, tell us why you voted like you did !!!
Wow. Arguably the best of each company here. Dark Phoenix or Kingdom Come. Two of the greatest stories that have been written, both compelling, both moving, and both featuring the self sacrifice of a hero for the sake of everyone else. What more can one ask for except for you to VOTE!!!
Dark Phoenix, without hesitation.
It's a classic and represents everything a Superhero and a superhero story, should be.
I had to go with Kingdom Come. Superman fighting against a world that has grown beyond his understanding, other heroes taking sides in the coming war, and the absolute BEST usage of Captain Marvel that has been put into print. This story redefines Super Hero for me. We get to see almost ALL of the heroes we know in a much more human light than I have ever known.
I went with Kingdom Come, just because Claremont is way too wordy for me. I like my comics to be a visual medium.
I went for dark phoenix saga cause as beautiful as alex rosses art is, The story just didnt hit me near as hard emotionally as the dark phoenix saga
This describes my feelings, as well.Quote:

Now if alex ross ever got a chance to draw an x men story THAT would be something to take notice of
I do agree.. Alex Ross is an amazing artist - but he needs a writer to bring out the characters inner-life and emotions. That is something that works perfectly in Dark Phoenix.
I kinda wish i had voted for Dark Phoenix now, Claremont's verbosity be damned.
I just reread Kingdom Come. It's good, but Claremont's X-men just hits me harder when I get into it.
I kinda want to see Alex Ross try his hand at a more traditional comic book art style. Not permanently, but it'd be interesting to see.
SG - If Dark Phoenix loses by one vote... you will sooooo be on my list!!! :P
Honestly, if you truly want to change your vote, let me know - we can do that.
Ehh, it's whatev. I'm having a really hard time deciding, so I'll just leave things be.
Pam, if Dark Phoenix loses by one vote, I'll go over to Seymore's place and personally hire him the best massage therapist I can find.:dance:Quote:
