The Sweet 16 Round of the WonderWorldComics.com March Madness Contest has come to a close. Another round has ended with some surprises. Let’s take a look at what happened.
March Madness Elite 8 Round!
Match 1: Avengers vs. Savage Wolverine
Savage Wolverine 75% Winner
Avengers 25% Loser
This was a matchup which justified my posting who has the lead. Avengers stayed strong throughout most of the day, but whenever a post would come to the page about how Savage Wolverine was losing, votes would pour in. So too was it in the last half an hour when Wolvy fans said “Enough is Enough” and voted with power.
Match 2: Iron Man vs. Young Avengers
Young Avengers 53% Winner
Iron Man 42% Loser
Apparently, Iron Man hit the sauce in the last hour of this one. His boosters sputtered and the Young Avengers were able to move ahead. Young Avengers is moving on and Iron Man is moving out.
Match 3: The Walking Dead vs. G.I. Joe vs. Transformers
The Walking Dead 60% Winner
G.I. Joe 39% Loser
Transformers 1% Loser
I have to hand it to the fans of The Walking Dead. They temporarily locked up the website in the previous round and almost did it this round (Luckily I installed a failsafe. Rick and his crew held off two threats and survive another day.
Match 4: Star Wars vs. Chew
Star Wars 74% Winner
Chew 26% Loser
Star Wars had an early lead and this one and Chew could not battle with the power of the force. The Star Wars line has gotten this far. Can its popularity hold up for the long haul?
Match 5: Batman vs. Nightwing
Batman 68% Winner
Nightwing 32% Loser
This one was turning out to be one of the biggest upsets of the March Madness Contest. Nightwing fans continued to push for their favorite throughout the day and did not let up until the Batman fans came out and turn the tides to The Big Black Bat’s favor. Many people have Batman going all the way. Will he?
Match 6: Justice League vs. Batgirl
Batgirl 76% Winner
Justice League 24% Loser
Batgirl kept her momentum going from the last round and made minced meat out of the entire Justice League. Now, she faces Batman in the greatest battle of her life.
Match 7: Mega Man vs. Legend of OZ: Wicked West
Legend of Oz: Wicked West 95% Winner
Mega Man 5% Loser
The Big Dog Ink fans came out early and were able to easily clean up another victory. This title has already made it do the Elite 8. How much higher can it go?
Match 8: Neonomicon vs. Harbinger
Neonomicon 61% Winner
Harbinger 39% Loser
Harbinger led for the entire day until the last half hour of voting when the Cult of Dagon appeared and gave the win to Neonomicon. “That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.”
All titles entering the Elite 8 will receive a 20% discount on 3/21/2013. Who will make the Final Four next week?
