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...

I had a feeling that Spider-Man would make it to the finals of the Marvel bracket, even though he was the number two seed, I truly had no idea that he’d be facing off against the number five seed in Thor! Spidey wins! If only, we could smash them up and have them BOTH move on to the finals, what would that look like? 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 finals! No breaks, we’re getting right into...

These are the match ups I live for. Two folks close in the tournament who ironically, outside of a recent cartoon appearance, have never shared (many easily found) comic panels together. The first semi final match up in the Marvel bracket sees the number two seed, Spider-Man: takes on the number three seed, Rocket Raccoon: 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! Just to keep track, here’s the current standings in the Marvel Bracket: Next week, a DC power couple does battle to see who will join Batman in the...

Youth vs. Longevity. Old vs. New. Both heroes very similar when you think about it. Our next Marvel match up sees the number two seed, the Amazing Spider-Man take on the number ten seed, the new Ms. Marvel Kamala Khan: Thanks for voting! People have been asking how they should vote and to that I answer, vote however you like. Is who would win in a fight your criteria? Maybe it’s who you like more? Maybe it’s a hate vote, whatever reason, just VOTE! 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 another unique match up, this time on the DC...
