I know we do this every 6 months or so, but I'm friggin' bored, so here it is anyway.

Oh, btw, it definatly has to be Supergroup. Easy.

Re: Best Powers Storyline

voted for Forever, but can't say it's a fair vote 'cause i started Powers late in the game. started around the time SuperShock started going crazy. only got the odd issues here and there before that, some back issues whenever i had a spare dollar or two.

I was going to say, the last time I saw one these I didn't vote because supergroup wasn't in this.

I haven't read the last few, but I liked The Sellouts.

Re: Best Powers Storyline

Sellouts. Nowhere else in comics can you see Superman melt the Pope, Batman give Robin a golden shower, and Wonder Woman referred to as Ultradyke.

And honestly? I love how incredibly disrespectful the Silver Age parody is. It's a welcome change from the borderline-masturbatory nostalgia displayed whenever most writers do Silver Age homages.

Re: Best Powers Storyline

I voted for Forever, but not for the monkey sex, that was just a nice bonus. I really liked seeing the long history of Christian Walker. Plus he gets both Retro Girl and Zora in bed at the same time.

Forever - the origin I least expected, cameos outta nowhere, and lends itself to a metric assload of backstory that will never be told. Awsomeness.

Voted for "Supergroup."

It's just a kick-ass arc with gripping action and some real emotional moments. And...
Spoilers:
Zora's death is just incredibly sad and well-written.
