Marvel Characters are always predicted to win by Leafar.

DC Characters, working at a much higher general power scale, are predicted to win by most people responding to Leafar's threads.

Grimjack is the main character of a comic book originally published by First Comics. John Ostrander and Timothy Truman are credited as co-creators of the character, although Ostrander had been developing Grimjack with artist Lenin Delsol before Truman's arrival on the project. According to Ostrander's own text piece in Grimjack #75; in that same essay, the writer also revealed having initially conceived the character to be the star of a series of prose stories, set in a post-apocalyptic Chicago.

Grimjack is the street name of John Gaunt, a sword-for-hire, ex-paramilitary, war veteran and ex-child gladiator. He operates from Munden's Bar in the Pit, a slum area of Cynosure, a pan-dimensional city to which all dimensions connect.

Grimjack has fought demons, mages, gods, killer bunnies, expert warriors of all ages,and the Lord Protector of Cynnosure, who has the innate ability to alter reality to fit his whims. He has even been given a cameo role as an Agent of Oberon in the Amber series by Roger Zelazny.

On the powers side, he has limitted psychic ability, has access to special weaponry, is cursed to be reincarnated continuously, and is totally bat s!!@ insane (as we know from reading Leafar's previous posts this gives him a trump card.)

So, Grimjack beats everyone. Fin.

Don't forget the time he spent playing combat rock and defending the Heart of Rock and Roll.


Grimjack did, however, lose to Judah the Hammer.

I was a Horatio Hellpop Nexus with powers fan myself. Though, the Nexus, Judah, and Badger crossover was crazy fun. I gotta go with Nexus takin' Grimjack ( as long as Grim could be proven to be a mass murderer ).

My comic shop still remembers my standing order that if it is a new comic about Nexus, it gets put aside for me. I hate it that Baron and Rude only get together for new issues just long enough for a mini once per decade.

Sure, but he's the friggin Hammer, man, not some Marvel or DC wuss. ;D

I was a huge fan, and bought it whenever I could, including the many reprints of the origin story. However, I never could find other people that loved it. Mayhap that is one of the reasons that it so seldom meets print.

:(

So went my love of Comico Elementals as well.

Hah, I guess people who love Grimjack love Nexus and Elementals too! At least that's true in my case. I'd rate the three my favorite comics series of all three (Grimjack, Nexus, Elementals in that order.) I'd definitely pick up any Omnibus reprints I could get my grubby hands on. I still look for them in bargain bins whenever I stop in a new comic shop (that's where they casn sometimes be found, if at all.)

When I was in high school, my friends were into Marvel more than DC but I always enjoyed First comics. The Badger, Grimjack, and Jon Sable, Freelance were some of my favorite comics at the time.

Remember when they tried to make Sable a TV series?

I try not to. The only good thing to come out of that show was Renee Russo.
