The Comic Book Story Draft

Ugh, next to last. And I can't pick one of the ones I had on my short list because it's WAY more than 13 issues. Good thing I have a long list, too.

Gives Foamy the evil-eye.

So 20 dollars in imagination land money I can guess the first pick of the draft.

/e raises hand

Then again, that 13 limit also knocked off Planet Hulk by like 1 or 2, hence the evil-eye.

Well that's why it's the story draft and not the series draft.

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

Just to nitpick, there have been plenty of series that lasted less than 13 issues.

I wouldn't feel right doing that. If there is a way to break up 52 into discernible stories, it isn't by volume, it's by plotline. For example, Booster Gold/Supernova, The Question/Montoya/Batwoman, Animal Man/Adam Savage/Starfire, and so on.

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.

So are you saying that we can't draft a mini-series?

For my first choice.

The Sinestro Corps War

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.

Oh good. I was worried there for a minute.

Alrighty, I'll go with the delightfully polarizing Identity Crisis, the tpb of which got me back into comics.

great the ONE graphic novel I do own......Though there still are a ton of amazing choices left. I don't think anyone will take my top choice. Still surprised no one took what I thought was going to be first.

Aggh. So close. That was going to be my first pick if no one beat me to it.

So instead I'll go with:

The Infinity Gauntlet
