Here are my ludicrous predictions: Steve Austin gets inducted into the hall of fame but instead wrestling he refs one of the title matches at Wrestlemania, after the match Austin will give both wrestlers a Stone Cold Stunner much to delight of his Texan fans. Cody Rhodes will have a backstage segment with Goldust where he calls him an embarrassment to the Rhodes name leading to a feud between the two where Dusty is brought in and eventually sides with Cody who promptly turns on him as well. Vince McMahon fails to see the humor in Vince McHass and "fires" Charlie Haas on live TV. Manu will cut a promo about going back to his roots and disappears off of TV for a few weeks and will return with a wild Samoan type character to form a tag team with Umaga. Hot off the heels of the success of The Wrestler Ernest Miller gets another shot in the WWE. Trish Stratus briefly comes out of retirement to feud with Beth Phoenix. Christian will get a the WWE champion match at Summerslam after becoming a face and turning on Edge, but ultimately fails to win. Edge will be a nine time world champion by the time the year is out. The Motor City Machine Guns get a developmental deal with The WWE but never make it to TV and are released when the WWE can't decide what to rename them because the words "Machine Guns" does not appeal to there newer kid friendly image. Another Top WWE wrestler quits wrestling to give that crazy MMA fad a try. Jeff Hardy and William Regal will not get strike 3 but Kennedy gets Strike 2. Batista somehow goes another year without a single strike. Joey Mecury will be rehired and teamed with John Morrison, The Miz & Melina the group is called MNMM despite the face that John Morrison's name is no longer Johnny Nitro. Triple H will shock the world by being drafted to ECW instead of Raw, he wins the title his first night there and will win a unification match with Raw champion John Cena thus ending ECW.

That sounds like a pretty fun idea. The categories are simple we could just go with the usual ones, Best Book, Best Mini, Best Writer, Best Artist, Best Hero, Best Villain, Best Moment, you know the typical stuff. I'd say four or five should be the amount of nominees.

I can't be the only person out there that's reading this storyline. It is easily one of the best current story arcs going on in comics right now. What does everyone else think?

Im still picking it up but its now wowing me at all. As far as Im concerned the best thing about Final Crisis was The Rogue's Revenge mini-series. If anyone decided to pass up on that one you really should give it a look anyways its proof on why The Flashes Rouges gallary is behind only Spider-Man and Batmans in terms of awesomeness.

Has anyone else seen that Embrace Change commercial? Its good stuff. Here's the link: http://www.marvel.com/embracechange/main.html

At least this legend lived a long and happy life that wasnt cut short while only in his 30s or 40s.

A damn fine pick. I agree its the best book Marvel is putting out

A damn fine pick. I agree its the best book Marvel is putting out

Na I read the book, it would be silly to make it my last pick if I didn't right? Either love the movie but as per usual the book is better.

My next pick is one of the all time great Green Lantern Stories Emerald Dawn One of the best origin stories ever told. Period. And for my final pick 300 We all know the story, 300 Spartans vs. The Persian Army.

The picking is a little confusing right now. I didn't get a message or anything but I know Im after Stevie, so here are my round 7 and 8 picks anyways. First off I was hoping that this one would be around for a later round pick and that "gamble" paid off. Im going with Claremont and Millers classic Wolverine mini-series. One of the better Wolverine stories out there with Wolverine in Japan fighting Ninjas and the like! Wolverine + Ninja = AWESOME! The second pick is one of the biggest series that came about for a while and changed the Marvel landscape "forever", or at least so they claim, still to early to really tell, we know they wussed out on the Spider-Man aspect of it though. Super hero on super hero madness, whose side are you on and all that other good stuff, its the storyline that above all else made me into an Iron Man fan.

I think the Electric Superman could of been an awesome new character if it wasn't Superman....

I agree case by case is the best and fairest way to do it.

Rage99 My games are Civilization: Revolution Devil May Cry 4 Grand Theft Auto IV Mercenaries 2 Motorstorm WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009

For my next pick I'm going with one the greatest adventure of Stan Siaki's Usagi Yojumbo Grasscutter: Forged in heaven, The Grasscutter is the lost sword of the Gods and could potentially tip the scales of power for the shadowy Conspiracy of Eight in their quest to overthrow the Shogunate and reinstate the Emperor. With the help of a witch and the souls of dead warriors, they plan to recover the lost sword and bring the Shogun down. But when the fates place the Grasscutter in the hands of Usagi Yojimbo, he becomes the focus of a deadly struggle for possession of the sword. Seeing that I have a severe lack of superhero books here my next pick will be one of the all time classic Spider-Man Stories Amazing Spider-Man #229-230: Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut This is a perfect example of who Spider-Man is, hes up against The Juggernaut and although he has no chance whatsoever of beating him he refuses to quit. This was one of the first Spidey stories I ever read and is still one of my favorites.

My next pick is also a good example of what can be done with a non-super hero comic. Box Office Poison The epic 600+ page story of Sherman, Ed, Mr. Flavor and every one else in it. Every character in this book is incredibly fleshed out even if they are only seen for a page or two and the main characters are people you could swear you know and by the end of the book you do. To start off the next round I have to go with my favorite story from one of my all time favorite series. Sin City: The Hard Goodbye In a nutshell, the lovable ape Marv is out to get revenge for the murder of a hooker with a heart of gold. What more can you ask for?

Just for the record I already believe that I have last place secured! Ok for my first pick I'm picking the first storyline from one of my favorite series ever: Y: The Last Man Vol. 1 Unmaned In the summer of 2002, a plague of unknown origin destroyed every last sperm, fetus, and fully developed mammal with they Y chromosome....with the apparent exception of one young man and his male pet. This "gendercide" instantaneously exterminated 48% of the global population, or approximately 2.9 billion men. Now aided by the mysterious Agent 355, the last human male Yorick Brown must contend with dangerous extremists, a hoped-for reunion with a girlfriend on the other side of the globe, and the search for exactly why he's the only man to survive. And for the first pick of round two I'll go with my favorite Batman story ever. Taking place during Batman's early days of crime fighting, this collection tells the story of a mysterious killer who murders his prey only on holidays. Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Two-Face.

So just to make sure here, since I'm the last to pick this round I start off the next round getting two picks in a row right?

Oh no theres debate about it.

X-Statix, I read the first 6-10 issues of it but missed the rest of the series.

I think they should be, other wise if your taking the entire run of writer or artist then couldn't someone take the entire run of most Vertigo comics Sandman or Preacher, or how about Stan Lee & Jack Kirbys 101 issue run on The Fantastic Four or Bendis and Baglys run on Ultimate Spider-Man. I think that would all be to much so we should just limit it to particular storylines, and if you want the entire run of something like that then pick a storyline with each of your picks.

Blades original costume was pretty god awful. He looks more like a test pilot for the Wright Brothers than a vampire hunter...

Hell yeah, this time I'm getting in on it as opposed to watching with envy on the sidelines because I didn't come to the site for a couple of weeks.

Well if that indeed is his last cover then at least its a nice one to go out on.

Well that really sucks, he was never my favorite artist by any means but you have to respect the things that he accomplished.
