It’s been a long month (and thank you for your patience) but we come at last to the wrap up of Classic Comics Christmas 2016 . Although we had fewer participants than in past years, entries this year struck me as more thoughtful and personal than in some previous events. I was particularly impressed that people found new and interesting things to say about selections already commented on by other posters, even on those most frequently cited. Well done by one and all.
Before we take a look at your submissions, what say we spare arf a mo for some scintillating stats, shall we?
24 participants cast 278 votes for 153 motion pictures, television series, and animated cartoons adapting comic books.
Taking home the gold with 7½ votes is Batman: The Animated Series. The silver medal this year is split five ways among The Avengers, Batman (1960s TV series), Batman: The Brave and the Bold, DuckTales, and the 1940s Superman animated cartoons, all getting 6 votes each. Coming in a strong third at 5½ votes is that holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas. The rest of the vote breaks down thusly:
5 votes: 300, The Dark Knight
4½ votes: Spider-Man (2002 movie), Superman (1978 movie)
4 votes: American Splendor, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Flash Gordon (1980 movie), Iron Man, The Rocketeer
3½ votes: Sin City
3 votes: The Adventures of Superman (1950s TV series), Akira, Daredevil (TV series), Dick Tracy (1990 movie), Guardians of the Galaxy, Jessica Jones, Marvel Super-Heroes, Smallville, Supergirl, Teen Titans, The Walking Dead, Watchmen
2½ votes: Hellboy
2 votes: Agent Carter, Barbarella, Batman (1989 movie), Danger: Diabolik, The Flash (2014- TV series), Flash Gordon (1936 serial), Ghost Rider, Ghost World, A History of Violence, The Incredible Hulk (1970s TV series), Mystery Men, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Persepolis, The Phantom (1996 movie), Popeye (1930s animated cartoons), Prince Valiant, Super Friends, Tales from the Crypt (TV series), Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1980s TV series), Thor, V for Vendetta, X-Men: First Class, Young Justice
1½ votes: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Spider-Man 2
1 vote: Too damn many to list, even with speech recognition turned on!
½ votes: Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Justice League (2000s animated TV series), Justice League United, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Superman II
Alas, I’m on a bit of a time crunch so I can’t delve into the data as deeply as I usually do. Anyone who wants to tackle the task has my blessing.
Next: Your lists!

As always, half the fun of these surveys is seeing why folks chose what they chose. You can see those whys and wherefores in the original threads by clicking on the following links: The ChallengeThe First DayThe Second DayThe Third DayThe Fourth DayThe Fifth DayThe Sixth DayThe Seventh DayThe Eighth DayThe Ninth DayThe Tenth DayThe Eleventh DayThe Twelfth DayThe Near MissesThose of you who didn't finish their lists should feel free to finish at your convenience and I will update your list accordingly (but not the stats because I'm not doing all that math again!). For that matter, I never truly consider these surveys closed, so if you're reading this down the line and want to add your own list, please do. All I ask is that you read the Challenge/Advance Warning thread first so you understand the rules and that you post your choices in the original threads. And with that, we bid an odd fondue to the year 2016. Many thanks to everyone who participated. You're the reason I foist this madness on myself every year because, as the lady in the hair dye commecials always says, you're worth it! Cei-U! I summon the wrap-up!

Adding my thanks to those already expressed. As always I had a great time assembling and writing my list, and reading the lists of others. These always feature some pleasant new discoveries for me.
So what were biggest surprises for people. For me it was being the only person to have Arrow and Gotham on my list. I'd felt certain these would be turning up multiple times.

So what were biggest surprises for people. I REALLY didn't expect Ducktales to get so many votes. Not complaining, mind you. Really, I expected most people's lists to skew more towards the newer movies and TV shows than they did. I really thought Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Gotham would be dominating.
