Their Work: JdG is the woman who makes Image’s PR/Marketing crackle like we know it does, as well as a long-time comic pro who knows how to get things done. Chris Burnham’s friends want him to win this tourney so he doesn’t get sad. Help them achieve his goal, maybe?

(7) Rob Guillory (@Rob_Guillory) vs. (5) kelly Sue DeConnick (@KellySue)
Followers: 5,908 for Guillory, 14,767 for Kelly Sue
Their Work: Guillory is the artist of Eisner winning Image title Chew, and he’s regularly about as entertaining a person as you can find on Twitter AND he tends to hide all kinds of fun things in his art. Who doesn’t like that? Kelly Sue is one of the friendliest and coolest people in comics, and she’s a social media maven when she’s not writing books like Captain Marvel and the upcoming Pretty Deadly.
