Now it's 1-0 to the Brits!

I've had to change some of the poll choices after you lot complained!

I hope this one is better!

If you look up mediocre in the dictionary, you'll probably find Gail Simone's picture.

However, if you look up worthless hack, you'll definitely find Mark Millar's.

I have yet to read anything from Miller that I even remotely enjoyed. Having said that, Kick Ass is is way more of a higher profile series than anything I can think of involving Gail Simone. Given that, and despite the fact that I've enjoyed many series written by her, I had to hold my nose and vote for Miller.

Thank you Troy for the sig

FYI, you're not supposed to vote honestly in these polls because Twigg is just trying to be a Newton.

I've enjoyed Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men, Wolverine: Enemy of the State, Ultimates 1 & 2, MK Spider-Man, Civil War, Ultimate Comic Avengers: Crime and Punishment, Kick-Ass & Superior

I've enjoyed Gail Simone's Deadpool, Agent X, Villains United, Secret Six & Birds of Prey.

Millar wins on greater number of issues.

But trolling Twigglet is what's best for humanity.

The runs away from rap battles.

TBH, I would have picked Millar too.

If the whole point of you voting or posting in this thread is to troll me, you can gladly let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Like that time when you challenged me to a rap battle and as soon as I laid down my verse you ran out the room crying like a woman?

Voted Simone just because of the lop-sided nature of this series of polls.

If you're going to vote because of patriotism or slight hatred of Brits at least be open about it!

Biased nature of the poll... Do me a favour.
