(1) Joe Hill (@Joe_Hill) vs. (8) James Robinson (@JamesDRobinson)
The Popular Vote: Joe Hill
Matt Meylikhov: Robinson is certainly an interesting man to follow on Twitter, but Joe Hill’s frequent writer advice nets him the win out of this pairing.
Matt’s Vote: Hill
David Harper: Robinson freaks me out sometimes. Hill always entertains and his enthusiasm is palpable. Landslide.
David’s Vote: Hill
The Winner: By a vote of 2-1, it’s Joe Hill!
(2) Bryan Lee O’Malley (@radiomaru) vs. (7) Jim Zubkavich (@JimZub)
The Popular Vote: Bryan Lee O’Malley
Matt Meylikhov: Arguably the most difficult pairing out of all of them, I’m going with Zub. O’Malley’s tweets are humorous, but Zub’s more down to Earth.
Matt’s Vote: Zub
David Harper: What can I say, I love the strange more than I love the informative. They’re both great, but that’s the way it is.
David’s Vote: O’Malley
The Winner: By a vote of 2-1, it’s Bryan Lee O’Malley!
(3) Matt Fraction (@MattFraction) vs. (6) Ivan Brandon (@IvanBrandon)
The Popular Vote: Ivan Brandon
Matt Meylikhov: Matt Fraction, no contest. Remember Hobo Darkseid? Throw in jokes about being a dad and being at da club, and it’s impossible not to pick him.
Matt’s Vote: Fraction
David Harper: DARKSEIIIIIIIID JENKINS! #NeverForget
David’s Vote: Fraction
The Winner: By a vote of 2-1, it’s Matt Fraction!
(4) Becky Cloonan (@BeckyCloonan) vs. (5) Francesco Francavilla (@f_francavilla)

Matt Meylikhov: Francavilla is probably one of the nicest people on Twitter, and his frequent use of emoticons make it hard not to pick him here (▰˘◡˘▰)
Matt’s Vote: Francavilla
David Harper: I’m on the side of both of these folks – they’re two of the best on Twitter. But I have to go with Francesco – he’s my boy! Sorry Becky!
David’s Vote: Francavilla
The Winner: By a vote of 2-1, it’s Francesco Francavilla!
