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 Two 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 Two results, shall we?
(1) Agent M (@AgentM) vs. (8) Jennifer de Guzman (@Jennifer_DeG)
The Popular Vote: Jennifer de Guzman
Matt Meylikhov: Ryan and Jen are fantastic tweeters, but I’ve got to go with Jen because a) her tweets are great and b) she doesn’t tease us with #seeekrits
Matt’s Vote: JdG
David Harper: Oh man, both are awesome, but de Guzman tends to hang things over us less. Sorry Ryan – tacos ARE awesome, though.
David’s Vote: de Guzman
The Winner: By a vote of 3-0, it’s Jennifer de Guzman!
(2) Rob Liefeld (@RobertLiefeld) vs. (7) Brandon Graham (@RoyalBoiler)
The Popular Vote: Brandon Graham
Matt Meylikhov: While I do love Graham’s general snarkiness, Liefeld is the man when it comes to Twitter. 100% open and never backs down. Like Sean Farris.
Matt’s Vote: Liefeld
David Harper: I enjoy both of them, but Graham’s support of awesome indie creators and Liefeld’s sour grapes over DC stuff earns Graham the win.
David’s Vote: Graham
The Winner: By a vote of 2-1, it’s Brandon Graham!
(3) Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) vs. (6) Chris Burnham (@TheBurnham)
The Popular Vote: Chris Burnham
Matt Meylikhov: Gotta say, siding with Burnham here. His tweets are often hilarious and I’m afraid if I don’t vote for him he’ll send Officer Downe after me.
Matt’s Vote: Burnham
David Harper: Chris Burnham is pretty damn hilarious on Twitter, even if apparently he never shows up to his studio (according to Mike Norton on Twitter).
David’s Vote: Burnham
The Winner: By a vote of 3-0, it’s Chris Burnham!
(4) Steve Wacker (@StephenWacker) vs. (5) Jeff Parker (@JeffParker)
The Popular Vote: Tie!
Matt Meylikhov: There are a lot of things about Wacker that’s great — his fan interactivity alone is commendable — but Jeff Parker is King Astronaut.
Matt’s Vote: Parker
David Harper: Based off yesterday’s tweets, I ALMOST went with Wacker (#TheHobbit). But Parker is consistently a favorite, so he gets it.
David’s Vote: Parker
The Winner: By a vote of 2-0, it’s Jeff Parker!
