Comic crossover/alliance?
Faction/team?

I like the idea of movie adaptation, but have there really been all that many comic book movies? I mean, enough for everyone in a draft to select one?

[troutman]

I only read Marvel.

[StrayBullet]

I don't know, but I am in this one.

- Super Hero Group
- Super Villain Group

...could be some categories.

[Pagal4321]

I am so definatly in for this!!

I might be game for this. I'm not overly versed in the comic world, but I may be able to hold my own.

[czure32]

depending on the rules/categories i might be interested

though I havent bought a comic book in about 14 years or so...

I don't know about having teams. Is there enough superhero teams for potentially 20 drafters? I like your list for the most part but would probably drop Toy maybe Significant Other (not sure how many there are that arent other heroes) and I dont know what TPB is. I'd like to have less than 20 categories....around 15 would be best I think because these drafts seem to lull near the end

TPB is trade paper back - this overlaps somewhat with story arc, so could be redundant.

I think there are enough teams, but the casual reader may not know enough.

[Superflyer]

I have nothing to add exept me. I would love to be in this.

[Tiger]

Every draft that is ever done is way too long and people lose interest around round 12... So I suggest people stop making the drafts soooooo long and be more realistic and pick fewer catagories

[Coach]

I agree with Tiger. Wdat if we trimmed it down to 12 categories?

Male Hero
Female Hero
Male Villian
Female Villian
Movie Adaptation
Best Costume
Sidekick
Artist
Writer
Gadget/Vehicle/Weapon
Canadian Character
Wildcard Hero/Villian

[IgnitedSoul]

I think those are a solid 12 categories!

And Flamesguy_SJ, that's a relevant question, but trust me, there are plenty of movie adaptations, I can think of over 20 without trying too hard, so, no worries there. :)

What about the franchises that have multiple movies?

[IgnitedSoul]

I'd vote that each movie could be drafted, not the franchises.

Using Batman as probably the most extreme example, there's such a huge variation in all the ones that have been made that simply picking 'Batman' would make judging and such hard, I would imagine.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

neat idea, would definitely be interesting.

Problem is I only ever read one comic

My choice in every category would be Batman. In fairness he's that awesome he would be the best choice in every category.

Best Villan, Batman
Best Female Hero, Batman
Best Story Arc, Batman
Best Chili Cheese Dog, Batman

[SportsJunky]

Wow, finally a draft I can get behind! I want in puhleeze.

[Blaster86]

Male Hero
Female Hero
Male Villian
Female Villian
Movie Adaptation
Best Costume
Sidekick
Alternate Version
Gadget/Vehicle/Weapon
Canadian Character
Wildcard Hero/Villian
Alternate Universe Team

would be my 12

[ResAlien]

I'm in for sure. 12 rounds max sounds good. Great idea.

[Coach]

Ok so I cut the writers and artists, because this is a hero draft not necessarily a COMIC draft, and took Blasters idea of the Alternate Version (as in like black suit spiderman or w/e) for a total of 11 categories. Sign up after this post. Just a simple "I'm in" will do and I'll cap the teams at 15....I will also be a part of this. I'm not well versed in Geocities so I'll need someone else to amke the draft board when the time comes.

Male Hero
Female Hero
Male Villian
Female Villian
Movie Adaptation
Best Costume
Sidekick
Alternate Version
Gadget/Vehicle/Weapon
Canadian Character
Wildcard Hero/Villian

[troutman]

Avengers Assemble!

[IgnitedSoul]

I'm in!

I haven't done any of the other drafts though, so I'm a rookie at this, but I'll try not to be too much of a n00b.

[Blaster86]

Count me in.

[Superflyer]

You can count on me

[Ronald Pagan]

I'm in.

[SportsJunky]

In

[Tiger]

in

[Prototype]

In

[Superflyer]

Looks like we are at 10, I would say limit it to 15 people max because the other problem is when you have to wait forever for 20 people to make their picks it can be a week or more in between picks and it is hard to keep intrest when you pick once every week or so

[IgnitedSoul]

In doing some pre-draft research, I have to ask, are there going to be 15-20 sidekicks for people to find??

[Superflyer]

There alot of sidekicks most of them just sucked though.

We could have it be sidekicks/love interest (which could also include other heroes/villians)

[Blaster86]

This.

They're easy to get.

[SportsJunky]

I assume we can also use a villian's sidekick? If so, there are many more options to choose from.

[StrayBullet]

Room for me?

[Coach]

^^youre in! we'll give it another day to get things going

There has not been a day between picks in the album and book draft. We just AK people that are delayed, and skip to the next GM.

[Superflyer]

So just wondering what is going on here.

[Coach]

I'm out of town till monday or tuesday.....ill start it then....in the mean time we'll see if some more ppl wanna join
