And your top 5 are:

Drinkfluid: It was all fun and games, until the wind changed.

dope meshter: That moment you realised Pikachu can talk.

Treasure Hunter: The normal response to the latest Team Rocket swimsuit calender.

Treasure Hunter: They said Net Neutrality would slow down certain content, but the episode has been stuck in this frame for the last hour…

HerrD: Try as the might, the new pop band just couldn't hit the same note and the same time.

But there can only be one winner and that winner is:

Character Design Challenge #346 Results

Sorry for how long it took to get this contest judged everyone. I have no idea where djuby has gotten to. I was kinda waiting for him to come back and then everything got away from me what with it being Christmas time and all. SHould have sorted this out sooner and I apologise.

Anyway, only three entries into the contest before it was closed, but it was very hard to chose between them. I loved the flame effect on Kellkin's second design and the Japanese styling of HerrD's entry, but in the end I had to go with the entry that combined both, which was Melmo44

What Were They Thinking?: 10 to One

This month marks the tenth anniversary of a very "special" storyline, a storyline delivered to us by our good friends at Marvel Comics Inc. And to celebrate, we've gone above and beyond and baked a cake. It's a lovely chocolate cake. It's a belgian chocolate sandwich with white chocolate icing on top and even chocolate chips in the cake mix. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of people would look at it and say "you know what, that's a good cake". And you know what Marvel, as you are the ones celebrating this occasion, I'm going to let you have a slice. See how good that tastes. Now, for no real reason, I'm going to take that cake away from you and replace it with a plain old Victoria Sponge. Oh and by the way, that Victoria Sponge is 20 years old and a bit mouldy. And for good measure I may have vomited on it, but hey, that's the cake you're getting from now on.

Now, if anyone doesn't get that entire long winded metaphor, let me explain. That is exactly how I feel about the storyline we are discussing today. What we had wasn't perfect but it was something that a lot of people really liked and then this storyline came along and replaced it with a status quo that was 20 years out of date and garnished it with as much bile and excretion as possible. This week we are taking a look at THE WORST storyline Marvel comics (or anyone for that matter) has ever published, on the tenth anniversay of its month of release. What Were They Thinking, the place where we look at the most stupid and ill-advised things in comic book history presents to you the stupid and ill-advised dumpster fire that is: One More Day
