Awesome Arena Summons YOU!

Written March 12, 2008 by Mike Haynes

For a while, I had this gnarly idea to start up a weekly post where two random heroes, or villains, would step into the pages of the same comic and battle each other in a no-holds-barred match of superhero supremacy. The concept was fun and all but nothing ever amounted to anything. Characters won and lost and things continued as if nothing had happened.

Not anymore.

The Awesome Arena is having it’s first tournament. You can get in on the action too and, the best part, you can win prizes while you’re at it. The full details can be found either here, on POA, or on For The Love of Comics, who is also presenting this contest to the masses. It’s guaranteed to be a fun time if you’re into this sort of thing and may turn into a regular thing, assuming this goes as well as planned.

Here’s a quick day-planner so that you can effectively organize your life around the Awesome Arena: TOC:

• Head over to the latest round of the tournament and cast your vote on your favorite hero.
• While you’re here, make a post and let us know who you think will win and why.
• Head to CrackerBob’s For The Love of Comics and do battle with him by telling him why you’re certain that your hero will win the battle.
• Earn points, which will be tracked by CrackerBob.
• Tell all your friends about the Tournament and earn even more points.
• Sit back in anticipation to see who takes home the glory of the battle.
• Repeat…several times.

Sound easy? That’s probably because it is. Earn the most points, win stuff.

‘Nuff said.
