OK, the first round of the Top Big Two Decade Tournament is done. There wasn’t a lot of drama in the first round. DC won 6 of the 8 matchups. Here are the results.
40’s DC defeated 40’s Marvel 18-1.
50’s DC defeated 50’s Marvel 16-1.
60’s Marvel defeated 60’s DC 28-2.
70’s Marvel defeated 70’s DC 23-4.
80’s DC defeated 80’s Marvel 23-9.
90’s DC defeated 90’s Marvel 26-1.
00’s DC defeated 00’s Marvel 13-5.
10’s DC defeated 10’s Marvel 11-1.
Now, onto the quarterfinals!
60’s Marvel vs. 10’ DC
70’s Marvel vs. 00’s DC
80’s DC vs. 50’s DC
90’s DC vs. 40’s DC
I think we’ll need to wait until the semifinals for a truly compelling matchup, though I do think that 90’s DC vs. 40’s DC in this round could be close. It’ll be interesting to see what happens there.
This poll will close Wednesday, 3/17 at 3 PM EST.

I went 60s Marvel but this is probably closer for me than it is for most of the people hereabouts.

'60s Marvel was just getting started. '10s DC was looking for a few more drops of gas in the tank.

American Vampire. Astro City. The last half of Scalped. The last third of Northlanders. Most of Madame Xanadu. The last 1/3 of Jonah Hex. iZombie. That's off the top of my head. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that as I get older I have less interest in super-heroes and see the flaws in the 60s Marvel books that seem to be overlooked in nostalgia and what is viewed as innovativeness. There's great stuff there. There's also a lot of stuff like the Human Torch solo series that is absolute dretch and the the early Thor stories that are just bad imitations of Weisinger Superman. |

60's Marvel or '10's DC?
Heh. DC for the win!!
...obviously, I'm kidding. DC's last strong decade was in the 1980s. After that, their best were only one-shot specials, and that is nit enough to make a strong decade, overall.

Subjective, as all views on comics will be.

I am with Slam in that this is closer than it looks, but ultimately went with Marvel in the 60s.
