Another interesting match up on the indie side of things as the number four seed, Image’s Velvet: takes on the bracket buster of the tournament, Groo the Wanderer: Groo 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! Just to keep track, here’s the current standings in the indie Bracket: Next week, another weirdo Marvel match up that I’m sure images will be available online after I make the...

You all are lucky. There was no pics, fan fic or otherwise, of these two characters together. In the bracket, these two are very evenly matched as the number three seed, Twilight Sparkle: Takes on the number four seed, Ed Brubaker’s Velvet: Velvet wins, 10 to 8 The closest I came is one of Twilight Sparkle’s parents is named ‘Twilight Velvet.’ So close, yet so far away. 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! And just to get you ready, here’s the current standings on the indie side of things. Next week, its the next Marvel match up, as two very similar characters square off, except for a huge height difference and an epidural difference as well....

I say it every time it comes to one of the indie match up, and this one is no different, this is a battle I’d LOVE to see actually happen. First up, is the number six seed, lead of Robert Kirkman’s underrated and sometimes overshadowed hit Invincible Marc Grayson: Taking on the number fourteen seed, a man who until his recent crossover with Red Sonja I had never read in comic book featuring him, Conan the Barbarian: Conan wins 10-7 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, the sixth match up of Marvel characters may be a rare “these two have never appeared in the same book before” sort of...

The indie bracket always brings the strangest matchups and this one is no different. First up, is the number four seed, the title character from the Ed Brubaker/Steve Epting Image series, Velvet: The pitch for this character and this book is ‘What is Miss Moneypenny from James Bond was secretly a bad ass?’ If you have checked out Brubaker and Epting’s prior work on Captain America then you should really check this out. And Velvet sees battle with the number twelve, on paper a seeming mismatch, Jo from Lumberjanes. She is the leader of the Roanoke Cabin at the Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types. Here’s a picture of her riding a flying reindeer unicorn thing with glowing eyes: The book is a great all ages, kid friendly, girl friendly adventure but is also all out bonkers. This is writer Noelle Stevenson’s breakout hit which has lead to her taking over the Runaways franchise at Marvel and her star is on the rise! Velvet wins 14 to 9 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing.  You can tweet your choice.

Next week, round four concludes with two Marvel characters who are alike and worlds apart at the same...

In the weeks we’ve been doing this, it was bound to happen. It is the first time we have had two non-humans do battle. And it’s only going to get stranger from here on the indie side of things. First, in this corner, representing the IDW smash comics sensation My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle! It was tough to choose which pony to represent the book. If my son had his say, it would have been Apple Jack. But he’s three and hasn’t figured out how to vote. She does battle with perhaps her toughest challenge, from the Image title Chew, the number eleven seed and the Warrior Chicken, Poyo! Twilight Sparkle wins 21-12 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, round three begins as we have the third round of the indie bracket. Very interested to see how that one will...
