(Furman and Budiansky's Transformers runs are both options in the poll if you feel like voting.)

Nice to see Transformers included, but I voted for "Claremont/Romita Jr./Green Uncanny X-Men" even though I read that run in the X-Men Classic in the 90s. :)

I voted for Furman's Transformers just to support a deserving under dog as it's against stiff competition.

I was going to vote Furman, but Instead had to go with another underdog Hama and Gi Joe, its just a little bit higher on my nostalgia list.

I voted for Furman Transformers. As a G1 Comic fan, can I do less? ;)

[Hursticon]

I voted for Budiansky's Transformers, I feel he's more deserving having being the 'Vector Sigma' of the franchise in a lot of ways. ;):)

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, but I wouldn't say his "comic run" was better than Furman's. JMO. :)

Yeah, I'm 100% with you on that, but without the footings perse... ;)

I might have been able to vote for Transformers if it wasn't for six or seven ot her choices on that list. At least.

I voted Furman :)

But there was some great 80's stories from the X-Men.

I can't remember who wrote the Days of Future Past and Phoenix Saga :confused: I think they were from the 80's??

Chris Claremont and John Byrne. And the Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past just sneak into the beginning of the eighties, so yes they were. (The [adjectiveless] Phoenix Saga was from the seventies.)

Finally (two months later) we have a result...

After 4,785 votes, Simon Furman came 16th! (Out of 53.) And Bob Budiansky came 37th. Pretty good indeed, particularly since the only writers who beat Furman were Chris Claremont, Walt Simonson, Frank Miller, John Byrne, David Michelinie, Alan Moore and Larry Hama. Some damn illustrious company there.

That's great news! :eek:
They certainly seem to be surrounded by great names but I'm very glad to see that Simon Furman got into the Top 20 and that Bob Budiansky wasn't in the Bottom 10. :cool:
