    I went with Tale of One Bad Rat here. It's my wife's absolute favorite, and she asked me to vote for it so I did.

    But I'm voting for Kingdom Come from here on if it progresses past this round.

    Had to go with V for Vendetta..... Kingdom Come would have been my second choice.

    Another hard bracket.

    I know, but to set her up an account just to vote in this seemed too much like cheating. I don't want to cheat with comics. Besides, if Kingdom Come ain't popular enough to make it through this round, so be it.

    If it comes to a tie though, I'm voting for KC dammit.

    Well... it would only be cheating if you made her vote along with you, right?

    I mean, if she's got her own opinions, then that's not cheating.

    Your call, bud.

    Darn it! I had to go with V For Vendetta, even though I love Hewligan sooooo Watchmen and V are the salt and pepper of graphic novels, its just standard that everyone should own/have read them.

    I was shocked when I clicked on Locke & Key and saw 2 other votes. I was worried I would be the only one.
    I just loved it, and since it's the first graphic novel I've read it will always have a special place in my heart.

    Wow, it seems no one liked Kingdom Come besides me and one other person. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't voted for my wife.

    Again, I missed most of those. (Would love to read Locke and Key by the way.)

    Has to be V for Vendetta for me though. Such a great thought provoking read.
    Also have a click around here. It's for charity but won't cost you anything but a small portion of your time.

    I went with V for Vendetta as well.

    It's a classic.

    That's what I'm afraid of. But, if it don't have enough support to get out of the first round, it wouldn't make it.
