First post is actually a negative. Nice try.

Second post is neither long winded or preachy

Third post is talking about how people who are negative tend to express it more than people who are positive.

Yeah, they were all in threads related to Batman, but I don't know where you're going with that.

Animal Man all the way.

Ok, let me try again

You're deniying that you're complimenting the current run?

Second post is neither long winded or preachy

Did I said that? I was arguing that you like to show how much you like this run. Are you saying that's not true?

Third post is talking about how people who are negative tend to express it more than people who are positive.

Fantastic book. 5 stars
Also, not true, people who are negative don't express it more than people who like it, they need to talk about it in longer posts because criticism requires more words and explanations than praise.

but I don't know where you're going with that.

And again I'll repeat myself:
I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy it or express your enjoyment, I'm just saying don't complain that other people do the same thing/the opposite.

What I'm saying is, don't go ballistic on Hurt because he's giving his opinions and you dissagree with them. Respond to him instead. Why is Batman so good? Tell him. Be long. Have a conversation. Otherwise you won't convince anybody.

I voted Batman.

**Jadenewt** · 04-27-2012, 12:39 PM

I had to cast my vote for Animal Man. I've found his series to this point to be quite good.

I voted after misreading the new rules. I apologize. Registered this month, so my vote will not count, yes? Sorry again.

I think you may be in the clear if you contribute to the ongoing conversation without resorting to attacking other posters and the respective creative teams of the books but I do think it's up to Paulski's discretion.

Even Though I Voted For Batman(Pure Fan Thing)i hope this stays a close contest and wouldn't be mad if animal man won after all we know what to expect from batman we don't know what to expect from animal man anything can happen in a issue of his current series

I think a lot of people might be using this logic. Either way, I think both books are great.

Animal Man I think, but it's a tough call.

Animal Man wins because it's been consistently great and unique while Batman started out good, hit a high point with issue 5 and has started to feel a little tired since.

Really tough call, two of the best books out there. For me personally, Batman just edged it. Can't say fairer than that, I'm just enjoying the Owls a smidgen more than what I've been reading in AM. AM is my second favourite of the New52 (with Batwoman a close, maybe even tied third), but I admit I'm a little bias and being a massive fan of the whole Batman mythos for years- that is what probably pushed Batman ahead for me.

I've been enjoying Animal Man a lot. I think it's been a heck of a book. Snyder's Batman has been my favorite comic book every month since the New 52 launched. Month after month I count the weeks until Batman is released. It's my favorite book right now....
