As we've seen, the subject of this week's Hoo'd Win* can be quite a contentious issue.

The combatants are as such: Al Simmons, aka Spawn and Thor, Odinson, aka The Mighty Thor.

Now, Spawn has sold his soul to the devil in order to wreak vengeance on his enemies and betrayers. At least, I think he did. Really, I only read the "Four Good Writers" books and saw the movie, so for all I know he lost his soul in a poker game and is now dedicated to hunting down jaywalkers. Which would make a good sitcom, when you think about it. Anyway, he's also got a big cape that takes orders.

Thor, on the other hand, is a god. He's got a hammer, can command the weather, and one time Thor hit Thanos so hard, Thanos went all the way around ugly and became pretty.

So! Make your choice! Who will be the winner? King of all Media, 1992 edition, or Thor, the guy who pillages the cosmos? Wooo!

[Poll #1038516]

*The use of 'this week's' does not indicate any promise of weekly delivery of a Hoo'd Win

edit: As of 2:30 PM, not even a sympathy vote. We may be headed to a shutout.

Edit2: And, as of 5:30, Thor is leading 33-0. Man. Is no one here just shy of 30?

edit3: Thanks are given to [livejournal.com profile] lab_brat for her compassion.

For some reason, US 1 has been coming up on all the finer comics blogs recently (i.e within the past few years).

I remember an interesting story I heard way back in the day. It may have been in CBG or CC or Comics Interview.

Anyway, back in the day, there was the concept of the Marvel Zombie. No relation to the 'turn Marvel characters to actual zombies' trend, this was a class of comics buyers who would buy every comic Marvel produced.

This brand of fans meant that every Marvel comic had a minimum sales number which they'd never go beneath.

Now, the story, as I heard it, was as such. US 1, the comic about a cyber trucker, was released. And it was the first comic that fell below the Marvel Zombie threshold.

Anyway, that was the camelback straw. Apparently, like their legendary namesakes exposed to salt, the Marvel Zombies crawled back into their graves. Or rather, just looked at their pull lists and realized "I don't really like half this crap. And where's Stan, anyway?"

At least, that's the story I remember hearing. Anyone recall anything similar? Or am I going soft in my old age?
