Fantasy Comic League: September 2016

The third season of the 2016 Fantasy Comic League began the same way the second season had ended. Shaun tapped into Captain Marvel’s dominate Civil War performance to triumph over the rest of the participants. Carol and Black Panther, her Ultimates teammate, joined to score 45 of Shaun’s 58 points.

Tony Stark steamrolled the Fantasy Comic League in the month of June, but in July, Carol Danvers, his Civil War II adversary, scored her personal best and led the individual hero points for the first time.

Johnny triumphant! Not really, but it had been a full year, since February 2015, since he placed higher than last in the Fantasy Comic League. Spider-Man’s league-leading, twenty-point month netted Johnny a third place finish and slightly edged out Lash’s team by one point. Lash retained three-quarters of his January-winning team and secured the same number of overall points,…

Fantasy Comic League: December 2015

The final season of the 2015 Fantasy Comic League ended in a tight race. Shaun and Brian tied for the most points in December, but Spider-Man decimated the other heroes by scoring 27 points while appearing in league-leading nine comics.
