The Tweet Off – our March Madness bracket to decide who the best comic tweeter is – continues with another great day of voting and contentious match-ups, and now the Day Three results are in. Each day, we’ll reveal who won the previous day’s match-ups, with the winner being the person who took two of three votes from our panel of judges: you, the people, Matt Meylikhov (MC EIC) and David Harper (MC Associate Editor and resident tweeter). Matt and David will be sharing their thoughts in 140 characters or less, as they should.
Let’s get to the Day Three results, shall we?
(1) Warren Ellis (@WarrenEllis) vs. (8) Jordie Bellaire (@WhoaJordie)
The Popular Vote: Jordie Bellaire
Matt Meylikhov: You know, you’d think we’d just would vote for Warren, but he’s calmed down as of late. Bellaire remains active and affable. #TeamJordie
Matt’s Vote: Jordie
David Harper: I love Warren Ellis, but his Twitter output has changed and gotten far smaller. Plus, Jordie is amazing. Go Jordie, go!
David’s Vote: Jordie
The Winner: By a vote of 3-0, it’s Jordie Bellaire!
(2) Kate Beaton (@Beatonna) vs. (7) Rob Guillory (@Rob_Guillory)
The Popular Vote: Rob Guillory
Matt Meylikhov: Beaton’s frequent comics are hilarious and a good substitute for no more regular updates on Hark!, but Rob and his Soapbox take the cake.
Matt’s Vote: Rob
David Harper: As much as it kills me to say so, Rob Guillory is pretty freaking amazing at Twitter. Happy now, Rob?!
David’s Vote: Rob
The Winner: By a vote of 3-0, it’s Rob Guillory!
(3) Gail Simone (@GailSimone) vs. (6) Fred Van Lente (@FredVanLente)
The Popular Vote: Gail Simone
Matt Meylikhov: Van Lente has the better sense of sass, but after what happened on Batgirl I think this goes to Simone. Tough not to use that at least once.
Matt’s Vote: Simone
David Harper: They’re both awesome, but when it comes down to it, Fred Van Lente entertains me way more often. Advantage: Van Lente!
David’s Vote: Van Lente
The Winner: By a vote of 2-1, it’s Gail Simone!
(4) Kelly Sue DeConnick (@KellySue) vs. (5) Ryan Ottley (@RyanOttley)
The Popular Vote: Kelly Sue DeConnick
Matt Meylikhov: This goes to Kelly Sue. One of my favorite writers and comic personalities. Add in the adorable stuff with her kids and it is no contest.
Matt’s Vote: Kelly Sue
David Harper: Kelly Sue is pretty much amazing at social media. Ryan Ottley is pretty good and responsive, but Kelly Sue is a grandmaster.
David’s Vote: Kelly Sue
The Winner: By a vote of 3-0, it’s Kelly Sue DeConnick!
