    Default Christopher Priest's The Ray or Tom Joyner's Damage ?

    The Robin/Superboy poll had me thinking about 2 less popular teen hero books around that time

    SO........

    The Ray ?



    OR

    Damage ?

    "History of the DC Universe" by Wolfman and Perez, when the DCU use to make sense.

    Priest's Ray run was overlooked. I don't even know who Damage is.

    I slightly cheated and voted for Damage even though I haven't read it. I just really didn't like The Ray.

    The Ray miniseries that preceded it was great though.

    Undecided. Loved the Ray miniseries. The series was...convoluted beyond sense. Damage wasn't as interesting (at least not the first few issues that I read).

    Looking forward to the Anima vs Psyba-Rats thread.

    Both were actually good books. The Ray was the better of the two, though. I'd actually rate The Ray before either Kesel's Superboy or Dixon's Robin, too.

    I'd say Ray just because Priest, but I haven't read enough of either run to vote.

    The Ray started out stronger, but was a disaster by the time it finally got canceled. Damage was the opposite, imho. It had a fairly generic/weak premise, but got much better as it went on.

    I liked the Ray mini, but have to say the series really didn't do much for me. Damage started out a little bit generic, but it really heated up as it got along. Plus, I'm a sucker for WWII Golden Age goodies, and Damage had it's fair share of those, so it got my vote.

    Peace

    I loved both books and both characters, and honestly Im still a little angry at Geoff Johns for giving me a regular dose of Damage in JSA only to kill him off in Blackest Night a couple years later.

    Anyway, voted for Damage. While neither Ray nor Damage ever became as good as they could have been, Damage had the most potential.

    Damage wasn't Damage in Geoffs JSA book,just like Bart wasn't Bart,or superboy wasn't superboy after he started writing them.

    I know absolutely nothing about either of these two series.
