No messing about anymore, we're straight at it now. No holds barred, no faffing around with tables and groups, or over complex piffle under the guise of qualifying play-offs. No, we're down to the simple purity of a one against one, single match - TO THE DEATH... well I didn't say we'd got rid of melodrama! Two go in, you vote, the one with the most votes gets a place in the semis, simple as that.
All you need to worry about which is your favourite between:

Any questions, just ask as ever - and have FUN!
Oh and my 'More info' links... well I don't say how much more and they get pretty wonky at times!
Rage Buba - The best comeuppance in comics history!
Both stores feature great villains. Gronk is fun, Rage is epic.
Rage, no contest!
It's got to be Rage. It's the chummiest way to vote!
Rage
Do not go gentle into that gronk night,
Old age should burn and rave at gronk of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Ah man, don't make me choose...
Rage
Rage
Got a big rager for Rage.
The Gronk affair for me
I forgot I can't vote any more BUT with a day to go here how much difference will it make? Mind The Gronk Affair is getting votes so ya never know... well ya do but maybe, just maybe.... last chance either way.
Rage
The Gronk Affair, just to be contrary! In all honesty though, GA is the much more lean and focused of the two, not to mention much funnier. And it's the Weerd's big moment to shine.
VOTING CLOSED
So The Gronk Affair may have struggled but against one of the absolute favourites for the tourney it forced tough decisions and even took some votes. Its clearly much loved and has stretched options to breaking point in some case BUT ultimately this was only ever going one way and this tie, of course goes to
Rage
