Pleasantly surprised Hellboy made it to the sweet sixteen.

That being said, that is not a well constructed bracket AND I see a lot of odd choices and omissions.

Agreed. If it is a popularity vote then there really is no logic in how it plays out. But power vs. power the list is pretty off the mark.

I think its definitely a popularity vote but the matchups are still odd.

And even if it is a popularity vote, I'm not quite sure Superman makes the final based on recent times. Iron Man, Spidey, and Capt. America have been more commercially successful lately.

I agree. Pre-Iron Man I movie, Stark gets KO'd in the first round.
 
I posted the bracket just to ruffle some feathers. I also posted it for AUR to see his Hellboy make it through.

Does anyone have any news on what the new Superman event is going to consist of?
 
This was me after reading Superior Spider-Man 9:

I am extremely butthurt and my interest in the series has pretty much completely died unless they
revive Peter. I am so sick of Otto... of all characters to replace PEter with, they really had to choose Otto? At least give Peter a nice retirement or something geeze...

I'll give you Iron Man and Spider-Man, but Captain America? his movie didn't even out-gross Superman Returns

nor does he have several titles like Superman is about to have not to mention several of the past DC animated movies have been Superman based

so in several different medias Superman dominates Capt, probably on par to Iron Man and is playing catch up to Spidey

Been reading the nu52 Suicide Squad and it's a lot of fun. Read some negative things about it but I'm enjoying it. Didn't know Deadshot was such a bad ass. Even though the way his forearm guns are drawn is absolutely retarded.

Yeah, but Capt. America killed Superman Returns in merchandising. Which I was taking into account as well. Man of Steel should change that if Henry Cavill pulls it off, unlike Routh did.

how do you even keep track of sales in merchandising? unless you have a piece of data I don't know about

even if that is true, Superman has been killing just about every superhero not named Batman in merchandising

I have no idea. I've seen it posted here a long time ago and never knew where it was from. Just typed in "suicide gif" in google and sure enough it was one of the first results lol

I'm really curious about what the shocker is for Superior Spider-Man. I really need to start reading again. I have a lot of back issues I need to get through first.

How far are you? I wouldn't say it's very surprising what route they are going once you get to ASM #700. And there has been lots of talk about how issue #9 was gonna make fans even more upset compared to #700.

I had lost a lot of faith in the series during the OMD arc but slowly got back to enjoying it once they started pumping out some decent storylines that were reminiscent of the older books with a splash of modern stuff. And now I feel even more disappointed. I knew it was coming but it still managed to rustle my jimmies real bad.

Go to bed, Mr. Liefeld.

I'm only up to Superior Spider-Man #1.

I love ASM #700, thought the Doc Ock plot would make for another great storyline. ASM has been on a roll for the past 2-4 years. It's one of the more underrated titles lately.

Yeah, ASM was awesome and towards the end of the series it was like everything just clicked and the storylines were all entertaining and interesting.

And from the sounds of it you will not be as butthurt as I am haha.
