Comic Book Story Arc Popularity Tournament 2.0 (Final Results)

And with the Unpopularity Tournament 2.0 finally over, we can finish 2017 with this popularity tournament. This time the theme is comic book story arcs, a continuation of last year's popularity tourney. As there are a lot of comic book story arcs, this tournament will have a nomination stage. Let's check out the rules before everything else, shall we:

• A Story arc is a comicbook storyline which takes multiple issues to tell that concerned plotline or event. One-shots like The Killing Joke are not included in this tourney, only story arcs.
• You may nominate 2 story arcs of your own choice. Take my two nominations as an example: The Sinestro Corps War and Red Son. There will be 64 story arcs in this tournament.
• When voting, vote for the story that you liked the most, not the one that you feel that is more popular.
• To a story arc win a match, it must have 15 votes, the first one to have 15 votes is the winner (in case of a tie). If it takes a long time and none of the stories have 15 votes, I will skip to the next fight and the one with the biggest quantity of votes is the winner.
• It will be 1v1 matches with multiple rounds

Tagging y'all just in case anyone is interested :D

Can I nominate Blackest Night and Flashpoint (2011)?

@tomkatie: Yes, you can.

@blacksmith_99: Untag me from this tourney plz, I haven't read nearly enough arcs to be able to participate, keep taggin me in your other tourneys though!

Secret War and Batman: Death of the family

Mark Waid's Flash: The Return Of Barry Allen

Ed Brubaker's Captain America: The Winter Soldier

My nominations - Age of X (2011) and Deadly Genesis (2006)

Sorry, but I won't be participating in this tourney (I don't know enough story arcs, and out of the ones I have read (New 52), they were pretty mediocre). Thanks for tagging me though!

Can I nominate Up, up and away? (Superman)

@blacksmith_99: I'm down. Planet Hulk and Batman Endgame please. Also, why only 10 votes? You got a lot in your last tourney.

- Under the Hood (Batman main title)

- When I grow up (Supersons title) :))

Yes, and you can nominate one more.

I'm expecting this one to be more low key, as you can see some people already are quitting because they haven't read a lot of story arcs. Not to mention that the last tourney was a pretty broad theme, it being simply "hated characters".

Surtur Saga...Simonsons arch was the best Thor story of all time.

Age of Apocalypse-- was an interesting read

@blacksmith_99: True. Everyone knows who they hate lol.

No... Flashpoint! Gah!

Can I nominate Blitz and Ragnaroks?

Batman no mans land

Xmen dark phoenix saga

Can I nominate Darkseid War and The Button?

I would like to nominate Planet Hulk and Batman the Long Halloween

Green Lantern: Rebirth (2004)

Batman: Hush

Old man logan

Infinity gauntlet

Batman Year One

The Dark Knight Returns

Batman Hush

Star wars: son of darhomir

Secret Wars(1984)

Gorr The God Butcher

X-Men Brood Saga

Daredevil: Born Again

Infinity - Hickman

Xmen days of future past

World War Hulk

Fear Itself

Planet Hulk has been nominated already, do you have any other you'd like to nominate instead?

Invincible Viltrumite War and Spiderman The Other

Muahahahaha!

Hm, I guess Sword of the Atom. The Atom doesn't have a lot of great comic story arcs but that one is among his most popular.

The Long Halloween (Batman)

Kraven's Last Hunt (Spider-Man)

Nice, my kind of tournament

I nominate Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis.

Injustice: Gods Among Us?

If I can join in. The Great Darkness Saga (Legion of Super-Heroes) The Judas Contract (New Teen Titans) Elektra Saga and Born Again (Daredevil) Dark Phoenix (X-Men) The Death of Gwen Stacy (Amazing Spider-Man.) Court of Owls (Batman)

Now, do "runs" count..or only arcs? The Peter David Hulk run, the Alan Moore Swamp Thing run and Steve Englehardts Detective run are amongst my favorites, but had few if any arcs in them.

Annihilation

Batman: War Games

Uncanny X-Force the Dark Angel saga

How about Born Again or The Long Halloween?

Batman Knightfall

World War Hulk

Axis

The Dark Knight Returns

Marvel Civil War

Heart of Monster
