Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 Like I said in the Superhero Draft thread, I've been toying with the idea of a Comics draft, and Steviekick had a good idea to open it up to TPB's and specific runs on comics. What do you guys think, any interest or suggestions on how to run it? Also, first say 15-20 people that respond wanting in will get in. Rules 1) Serpintine Draft Rules, meaning that we reverse the order each round. 2.) 12 Hour Time limit. If you have been skipped one round you will keep being skipped until you make your picks 3.) Draft will begin either @ 12 pm EST or whenever the first pick is made. The first person up will have 24 hours to make their pick to star the draft, then 12 hours for everybody afterwards. 4.) PM the Next Person in Line 5.) You can select either a specific issue, Trade Paperback, or a collection of issues that are in a storyarc. You will not be able to take any comics that may tangentally deal with the storyarc tho (IE if you take Infinite Crisis, you will only get the series, you will not get the hundreds of comics that 6.) I'm going to limit this to about 10 rounds, unless everybody wants to do more.

Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 The big question is how to police it. In regards to comic runs and tpb's. Say if I take a TPB of Flash from the Geoff Johns era, does that exclude Geoff Johns entire run, or should other's be allowed to take the other TPB's from that run?

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 Like LL, since TPBs and issue numbers and stuff are somethign I never really pay attention too..I will probably suck at this draft >_>. And pick the most random of shit, that I've read lol. but I'm down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cran Da Maniac 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 the issue number thing shouldn't be an issue with this draft, as we shouldn't pick specific issue numbers, unless there's a one shot story you like, but if you want say the Dark Phoenix Saga (X-Men 129-138) you could just pick that storyarc without wasting about 10 draft picks.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 I want to be clear on this - we're basically looking at a series of issues that are or could be considered for TPBs, Graphic Novels, etc? Meaning that something like the Cerebus phonebooks, Marvel HCs, Masterworks and those B&W bathroom readers (well, that's what I do with them, anyway) are off the table? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 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.

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 With the first pick in the draft, I select probably my favorite story of last year. The Sinestro Corps War And as much as I liked the actual war, I think I enjoyed the ending most with the revealing of the 5 new corps, and 'The Blackest Night'. Just a great story all around. Following his defeat in Green Lantern: Rebirth, the events of Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1 see the supervillain Sinestro retreat to the planet Qward in the Antimatter Universe. Here he amasses an army, the Sinestro Corps, that he selects based upon their ability to "inspire great fear". Each member is armed with a yellow power ring, mirroring the green ones of the Green Lantern Corps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 With my first selection I take Crisis on Infinite Earths This story changed the DC universe making it much more streamlined (at least for 20 years). You had the noble sacrifices of the Barry Allen Flash and Supergirl. It also introduced the DC universe to the Charlton universe (i.e the Question and Blue Beetle). Any talk of COIE has to mention the incredible work that George Perez and Marv Wolfman put together to make this work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 I'm a sucker and I figured this will go fast giving current events: The plot revolves around a largely psychological battle between Batman and his longtime foe the Joker, who has escaped from Arkham Asylum. The Joker intends to drive Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon insane to prove that the most upstanding citizen is capable of going mad after having "one bad day." Along the way, the Joker has flashbacks to his early life, gradually explaining his possible origin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 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? Wording sort of confused me, but basically you're going to end this round with two picks. The second of which, is the first of the next round. So going last, you're going to make two picks, and then it's whoever's next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
