New 52 Thunderdome Grand Final - Aquaman vs Wonder Woman

[paulski]

Thanks to Paulski for a fun Thunderdome!

You're very welcome. I had a ball as well.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote and comment on these things. It turned out to be a hell of a lot more popular than I could have imagined - if you'd told me I'd get over 100 votes for the final (and a couple of other matches), I would have called you mad!

Well done to Wonder Woman for taking out all the big guns thrown at her, but also congrats to Aquaman for even making the final. As a huge AQ fan, I'm thrilled he got so far.

Thanks Paulski, this WAS loads of fun. I hope many of the new members who joined specifically to vote on these polls continue to actively participate on the boards.

I hope so too. I've been heavily active on over half a dozen comic message boards in my time, and this is by far the most enjoyable one, so they could certainly do worse.

To Be Honest i would of preferred Animal Man as the winner that series is really amazing and yet it always gets pushed under the rug because of the main stream heroes.....it's A Unique Blend Of Family Drama/Horror that makes it stand out from the rest of the new 52
and it's because he's not some typical hero he's not the chosen one of some ancient prophecy he's not some super powered being from another planet he's not from a race of super humans he's not fighting crime because of a tragedy he's doing it just to protect his family and that's all that all matters to him not keeping a watchful eye on the world or flying through the sky taking all the fame and glory that comes with being a super hero he's just a family man

The pools are over Animal, too late for propaganda :). Better luck next time.

its not propaganda its just simple facts you can,t compare animal man to any other character in the dc universe like i said he is not your stanard comic book hero

I really wanted him to win but looking at the fact that he was able to get this far really tells me how much he's evolved.

But it all depends on what you want from your comic books.

I'm not big on the horror / excessive violence end, so that pretty rules out any Dark books as far as I'm concerned.

I don't mind the occassional story with magic / supernatural elements, but not all the time.

I'm one of them and I hope to participate quite often. :) And me too, I want to thank you all - for making this contest and for leaving comments on the polls, it was really entertaining to read them!

And congratulations, Diana - you were always my fav superheroine of DC!

Wonder Woman cos play is far superior to most forms of cos play in my mind. I Say more!

guess you don't like wonder woman winning then since i heard that's pretty violent and heavy with magic

Actually, I still find traces of superhero storylines in it, so I'm actually liking it.

I didn't buy the first few issues because it didn't look like something I'd enjoy, but once I broke down and gave it a chance, I started buying it regularly.

Swamp Thing, on the other hand, I bought the first six issues of and grew bored with the overall pace. Yeah, when you're dealing with plants you sort of have to expect the pace to be like watching the grass grow, but it really hadn't moved far enough by the time I read issue 6, so I cut it loose then.
