[The Night Phantom]

Congratulations to the various creators!

And a big thank-you to Van for putting this all together! ;D

Van, how many voters participated?

I am surprised at the inaugural class of the Hall of Fame. Whilst I think all three men are deserving and certainly have had a hand in shaping the mythos of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I am somewhat disappointed that Big John was not in the first group. Perez, as I mentioned earlier, might be the result of voting by newer/younger readers. Yes, I know and loved his 70's runs on the book, and yes, I liked his Vol. III work... BUT, when I "see" the Avengers in my mind they are as depicted by John Buscema...

And thanks, too, to Van for the compilation of these results. I guess I'd better quit "get to it later" with Young Avengers and go pick up some trades!!

No Ultimates?

NA #14 appeared on the candidate list I compiled because, according to the Diamond Shipping List Archive, it hit stores December 29, 2005...so, Van, maybe you didn’t read it or even buy it until a few days later, when it was already 2006.

(I’m sure the winner makes for a compelling piece of original art. I also like the runner-up. What did I vote for? “Marvel Team-Up” #14, story pg. 14, panel 1, in which Invincible tries to guess the names of Spider-Man’s teammates.)

*4. BEST ACTIVE AVENGER of 2005*

WINNER: SPIDER-MAN
R-U: MS. MARVEL / LUKE CAGE / CAPTAIN AMERICA (tie)

The first of those runners-up surprises me, because I’m pretty sure Ms. Marvel wasn’t even an active Avenger in 2005, save perhaps in some flashback somewhere.

Uhm, on a quick look none of my voted actually winned, but nevertheless it's a very nice list with some interesting titles.
I too am surprised about having Perez up there, and also by Spidey as best Avengers but it's all for the best.

Great job, Van !

[jkemble]

Great!
I've always been a Roy Thomas fan myself!
