00.19's FREE COMIC GIVEAWAY!!!
It's FREE. Why haven't you clicked here yet?
by 00.19
Free stuff. You want it. I know you do. So I’m going to help you out.
In celebration of Gamervision paying to the order of me, I’ve decided to give a little back. Don’t want to forget my roots. I was like you guys once, posting on the right, while secretly hoping one day it would be me posting over on the left. Ah, memories.
Anyway, here’s the scoop: I love comics. I want you to love comics. I’ve been in a Brian K. Vaughn kinda mood lately, in case you couldn’t tell. I’m particularly fond of a little book he just finished called Y: The Last Man. I want everyone to read this book. To prove it, I’m going to give one lucky person the 2nd, 3rd and 4th trade collections.
I know what you’re thinking, “Nothing is free. Everything has a price.” Karma aside, this is true. All I’m asking is for you to tell me who you think the lamest super-hero of all time is, and why… in 60 words or less. Why only 60 words you ask? One word for each issue of Y: The Last Man, of course. Basically, one solidly constructed paragraph gets you 18 issues worth of great American storytelling. For free.
Here’s the nitty-gritty- One winner gets it all. All you have to do is post your little ditty in the comments of this here post. You can enter one time only. When I say 60 words or less, I mean it. Anything over 60 words will be exempt from winning. The hero’s name does not count as part of the 60 words.
You have until 11:59 PM Eastern Standard (by my watch) on Thursday, 02.14.08, to enter.
Good luck.
Here’s a peek at what you’re getting:
You're still here? What're you doing? Get to writing. These books aren't going to win themselves.

i already have Y: the last man XD
Captain America is the lamest hero ever. I can not stand him. Glad he took that bullet. I hope they never bring him back. He is too good. Too pure of heart. It bothers me. I need heroes with character flaws. Steve Rogers is lame.
It's killing me to not enter this one. Grrr.....
I have those 3 trade paperbacks and all three are very good amazing short parts of a larger story. Wow, mikeyraw196. Steve Rogers was supposed to be a "boy scout" that's why he was picked and that's why it worked. The lamest superhero...wow there have been alot. Nighthawk form the X-men was pretty lame. In fact, Marvel has most of the lame filler heroes that come to mind, but those wouldn't be SUPER heroes. However, I think that the lamest is in the DC Universe and is.....
ZATANNA
And I think that this helps seal the deal on who's the lamest.
The lamest Super Heroes make for the lamest action figures, and this is a pretty sad action figure.
Meh....boy scout or not...still LAME. Screw Cap.
Zatanna hasn't dressed like that figure in ages. Besides, her 7 Soldiers mini was one of the best parts of that series.
Oracle. Once known as Bat-girl, after a visit from the Joker, and a photo shoot- she hasn't walked since.
Not that type of lame?
Superman.
I said it.
You know, if I could enter this contest, I would take the opportunity to talk about how lame Superman is. Don't know if I could cut it downt to 60 words, though.
Ouch! No hating on Supes )':
I most definitely will be entering this contest. I haven't read any comics past the 90s, so this might get me back into the swing of things.
I've gotta say Squirrel Girl's the lamest. Great Lakes Avengers was just a dorky group, but how can they let her defeat supervillains with the power to control squirrels? Her character's inspiration rivals the Megaman X7 maverick. "Oh we're running out of ideas. How about a big metallic ONION?" What is Murray smoking, and where can I get in on this?
Bible Man is the lamest, mostly because his powers defy every idea put in place by the bible. If one to were to believe the bible as fact they would call Bible Man a false prophet and a heretic! Oh, the irony intrinsically imbued into this awful, awful "hero." His villain is an obviously Semitic character, making him even worse.
But Bibleman is Buddy Lembeck from Charles in Charge. How can you hate the man who played second fiddle to Scott Baio?
Arm Fall Off Boy. I shit you not. That's his name, that's his power. The Legion of Super Heroes is messed up.
I don't know about lamest of all time but how about lamest of recent times.
The Academy Award goes to Pennace, a.k.a. Speedball. Take one flighty Spider Man knock off (created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko wouldja believe!) with a silly power THEN make him the catalyst for a serious super hero Civil War where he kills kids, becomes angsty and jams spikes into his body to 'repent'. Pain is his power! Laa-huu-zer!
Even the mighty Warren Ellis can't do much with him as he's almost completely ignored in his own team book Thunderbolts
