      WOW. My response got deleted.

      But thunderbolt is wrong, he's lying about having the book or he just totally missed the section. LOL!!

        Just give me the page number, that's all I asked for. Back up your claims if you can. I do own the book, got it on markdown at B&N. If your response got deleted, I'm sure it was for a good reason.

          Reason being you were smoked in so many ways. I would have loved to see your reaction, there is no way you can match me...the glory.

          I'll do you one better I'll just write it down and you can go find it...detective...LOL.

          Who is the stronger of the two? "Realistically, Captain Marvel should win, which is ironic, given that Superman is better known. But Captain Marvel is the World's Mightiest Mortal."

            I can't find the page number as the book doesn't have any....but the quote was from a caption on the Kingdom Come Captain Marvel Action Figure page (in the Kingdom Come section of the book)

                Boy what a debate.

                I'm a Hulk fan and I think he can whip both Supes and Cap with one hand tied behind his back....Just kidding.

                I have a soft spot for Cap. I like Superman too, but I have to go with Cap.

                On a side note, when is Billy going to be Cap again?

                  Joe, Anthony is right it's in the kingdom come section with the pic of the Cap toy.....

                  And Just because Ross says it doesn't mean two bits.....Alex Ross is not the end all be all authority on Cap. He's a Fan like the rest of us......

                    So his opinion doesn't mean two-bits? He's like the rest of us? Actually he's more like Roy Thomas, Mark Waid, Jerry Ordway, Gerry Conway, and anyone else who has written a Cap vs Superman book which is more than you or me. Because they were aloud to have their opinion mean something, they got paid for it. Have you? Who's read your book? Your opinions? Only some of us on these message boards and that doesn't mean as much as the creators above. If you think so, then you are just silly because DC isn't looking for you to do anything with either character. Once you do this, then I'll say your opinion truly means something because you will have the ability to create a story is your view. But it's not going to happen...lol.

                    And who said Ross is the be all end all? I never said that. We were just talking about him and his opinions. Get it right before you interject please.

                    And yes, this has been a great debate (which I'm enjoying). And I hope all you guys liked the write up I did. Because like I said before, it was to honor both heroes because they are the best of the best and to honor all of us because of our passions for them.

                    To anyone that hasn't checked it out, go here and enjoy. And if you have, it's always a great read a second time!!! SHAZAM!!!!

                      I don't ever remember soliciting my Work to DC for review and your little pot shots at me and members here are pretty childish even your Pic that you posted that was deleted made absolutely no sense whatsoever....

                      Like Hector said and i feel the same maybe those opinions mean something to you but i don't give a rat's *** about what Alex Ross has to say and I'm in agreement with Hector too they are hired guns to sell comics if they didn't you wouldn't hear of them.......

                      Bill Parker and C.C. Becks opinions were the only ones that mattered they created Cap and Knew the character better than anyone also again Parker wanted to cash in on the Superhero Craze at the time that the the creators of Superman started....not too hard to take an Idea already established and just rework it......and If it wasn't for DC Cap may have probably fallen into public domain.

                      Oh and Roy Thomas? you ever read his crappy mini series from the 80's for someone who is an authority on Cap and was given a chance to restart Cap again he sure couldn't write him to save his life........

                          Well, I doubt Ross (probably Chip Kidd instead) even wrote the captions for the figures, so I didn't bother reading those, I just looked for it in the actual text that Ross did write.
