What a long, strange trip its been. We are are the finals, a few bumps along the road, but we have our final three. First, representing DC Comics, with victories over the Flash, Aquaman, Batgirl and Superman – the BATMAN! Next, representing Marvel Comics, defeating Ms. Marvel, the Hulk, Rocket Raccoon and Thor – the AMAZING SPDIER-MAN! And last but not least, representing indie comics, specifically Dynamite Comics, laying the smack down on such luminaries as Hellboy, Michaelangelo, Conan and Groo, the She-Devil with a Sword – RED SONJA! Spider-Man wins! Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Next week, we ask you the first of two stand by questions for the end of the...

A match up I felt was inevitable not this late in the tourney, but the odds of the two star crossed characters, who’s rights are owned by different companies, meeting up in the indie bracket had to happen. As they do, in fact, have a rich history. Here we are, the number eight seed, Red Sonja taking on the number fourteen seed, Conan the Barbarian!

In the final first round match up in the indie bracket, in this corner, the number eight seed, the She Devil with a Sword Red Sonja: She does battle with the number sixteen seed, the Red Hand of Doom himself, Hellboy: Red Sonja wins 18 to 5 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool.
