  1. Aw damn I was going to suggest Ed Harris' Gone Baby Gone monologue but then you said no cursing.
  2. Well, Geoff Johns already made Captain Cold awesome on his Flash run, but I'll let it slide.
  3. Couldn't you just find most of those cutscenes on YouTube and get them from there? o.O

    You can draft any comic story that can be or has been collected into a volume consisting of 13 issues or less. So yes you can draft a mini-series or even a maxi-series so long as it is 13 issues or less. You can also draft single issues.

    I know, but that's why it's the story draft, not the series draft. I want people to be able to select the best stories of long-running series rather than hogging all of them by, say, drafting every Action Comics or Amazing Spider-Man ever.

    You can still draft one of the volumes of 52 since it's broken down into four volumes of 13 issues.

  9. Relax, everyone, the movie's in the hands of the guys behind Jonah Hex.

  10. Ok, Argonus, I'm going to go ahead and start this and you can be an alternate in case someone drops out. That work out for you?

    DRAFT RULES AND PROCEDURE
    • Basic draft rules and procedures apply. Drafter #1 will make one pick, then Drafter #2 will make one pick, and so on, until Drafter #8, who will get two picks, and the order will go back up with everyone getting one pick until Drafter #1, who will get two picks; the order will continue until everyone has made four picks. Drafters will get 24 hours to make their pick.
    • If 24 hours passes and they have not made a pick, they can be skipped. However, if they manage to make their pick before the next person in the order does, that pick is valid. On the other hand, if the next person in the order makes their pick after the previous drafter's time is up, the previous drafter is skipped and must wait until all regular drafting is complete to make up any skipped turns.
    • Suggesting picks by those watching the draft and draft participants while selections are still taking place is strongly discouraged.
    • Friendly jabs and light-hearted taunts during the drafting and voting periods are fine, but all drafters and voters are asked to refrain from personal insults and other malicious comments.
    • Drafters are kindly asked to PM the next participant after they have made their pick. If any drafters do not wish to receive PMs because their inbox is full or they simply find them annoying, they should express this as soon as possible.

    SELECTION CRITERIA
    • We are trying to see which comic book story is considered to be the best by the good people of these forums.
    • A comic book story is defined as follows:
      • Written and illustrated by a creative team, although the writer and artist may be one and the same, so you can draft a story from any country (manga is allowed), but you would be advised to keep voter preferences in mind.
      • An arc, one-shot, or single issue that is or can be collected in a single volume of no more than 13 issues; this means that you cannot draft an entire series or an arc that consists of more than 13 issues and is broken down into multiple volumes.
    • Voters will be asked to choose between two stories for each matchup. They are asked to make their selection based on the following
      • The writing (is the story as funny/moving/scary/epic as it sets out to be?)
      • The artwork (pencils, inks, coloring)
      • The significance (personal/historical/cultural/internal, as in significance to the fictional universe)
    • However, voters will be allowed to use their own discretion when weighing the impact of these factors, so they may justify their decision by saying great writing makes up for the so-so artwork, for instance.
