The Dark Knight Returns

DKR by a hair.

Man this is tough, DP is more epic in scope but TDk was written a little better so TDK

TDKR

Dark Phoenix

Hmm...tough one. I have to say The Dark Knight Returns.

X-Men

Who says folks don't like "dark" comics. ? I love it, this really is comic-book royalty here. Gotta go with TDKR.

And thanks for this tournament. While it's nice to talk movies and TV shows, I felt this site was being taken over by that stuff to the point where they may as well name the site "Comicbookshowsvine." It was nice to get back to actual comics.

TDKR

Watchmen deserved to win... Was it even in this tournament?

TDKR then

The Dark Knight Returns, like I said earlier in this thread, it was one of a small few books that got me back into comics after my childhood.

The Dark Phoenix Saga

It's great to see TDKR as number 1. That arc really deserves the spot.

Not my choice for #1, but still deserves the honor. TDKR revolutionized comics.

Much as I dig DPS I have to say this came out the way it should have.

Thanks for doing it! Very happy with the top 2.

And please tag me!

This makes me happy. Well done, everybody.

awesome competition, if you ever do something like this again, tag me too please, I'd like to participate

Hmm, some Marvel story arcs like Kraven's Last Hunt/Man Without Fear among others should be here, but this site has always had more DC fans, so I kind of understand the results, and still, I've heard nothing but great things about all the Top 6, so it's fine.

I've only read ASS and DPS out of those 6, so I guess I'll have to check th eothers.

Came out pretty good can't complain I'm in for the next

@blacksmith_99: This was cool, and DC dominated. That surprised me a little. Looking forward to the next one.

Not my no.1 but pretty deserving. I'd like to be tagged in the next one

As it should be

Even as a DC-preferred fan. I'm surprised some of Marvel's best didn't do a bit better. "Born Again" "Elektra Saga" (also Frank Miller written) along with Kraven's last Hunt, and the Surtur Saga are as good as any in the top 6 (not necessarily better, but as good.) Maybe folks find it hard to vote for vintage Marvel due to so many Marvel books not being very good right now? I dunno.

Still a good tournament, and I'd like to participate in the next one.

I am satisfied.
