Listen, the indies are calling you. You want vigilantes in flowing capes? Sure you do! I do, too! But sometimes, to get there, you've got to decide between demons and elves. That's just the way that shit goes down.

When I saw "Cutter" I had NO idea who that was, but yes, I remember Elfquest. I liked it more than I ever liked Spawn, so Cutter (although I still don't remember the character) gets my vote.

Spawn is hard to capture with a single picture. He's just got too much visual information happening.

I'm voting for the guy who's not a femme wolf banger.

Professor X, Hank Pym, John Constantine, and Elektra are out of this tournament (with Wolverine teetering on the precipice), and we're going to be advancing either creepy kid-sexy elf king or a guy who was basically created so that Todd MacFarlane could draw totally "adult" stuff and, like, totally badass living capes. Feh.

I share you opinion of SPAWN, but regardless of what you and I think of him, he is a successful character across a range of media. And Elfquest, while relatively obscure, is one of the best fantasy sagas ever depicted in 4 color pamphlets.

As I recall, Elfquest was originally in black and white, and didn't get "colorized" until it was later reprinted by Marvel.

Yes, it was originally B&W but it was reprinted almost immediately in full-color compilations, before Marvel republished the original series. Those compilations were where i first discovered the series. Richard & Wendy Pini's ELFQUEST was one of those black/white self-published books of the late 70s-early 80s, like CEREBUS and BONE, that put independent publishing on the map. There are also number of prose novels and short story collections in the Elfquest universe which i recommend to fantasy readers . WaRP put their stuff online for free [in color!]here: http://elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics3.php

I like Spawn. Of course, he was created during my formative years. The 5-6 years I was actually into comics and what not. drawn by a former Spider-Man guy. I have the first 20 issues in a box somewhere.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Not bitching seriously... just bitching. Because I grew up around Spawn, I'm voting against Spawn.

I read the first few issues of Spawn and then bailed. Todd McFarlane is an interesting artist (I like the way he drew full moons during his time on Incredible Hulk) but I grew tired of him. (And the story didn't grab me either.) He seems to overwork too many of the images he draws. (Spider-Man's webs, for example.) I think I once read where someone said that McFarlane's drawings were like he was masturbating all over the page.

I loved his art style in the Marvel books for a while... but then, I was 10 and really into masturbating.

At ten! Wow! You were a masturbating prodigy!
