Marvel Comics Contest of Champions VI

[BurningDoom]

I know a lot of guys play fantasy football and fantasy wrestling and all that. I'm usually not into that stuff. But every so often, I do play this one. It's basically fantasy Marvel Comics. And as a comic book geek, this is perfect because we're always arguing who can beat who anyways.

Anyone that wants to join in on the fun, is welcome to. Also anyone that just wants to vote or throw in their two-cents on the fights are also welcome to You create a team of 4 Marvel characters and pit them against other manager's teams and everyone votes on the outcome while you argue in your fighter's favor. It continues until one manager/team is left standing in the end.

You do need to start an account on www.comiccollectorlive.com's forums so you can participate, though. It's just for the message boards, you don't have to sign-up, subscribe, or pay for anything.
