Iron Gelatomettista Challenger - Francis Manapul!

For anyone who's been following the Iron Gelatomettista challenges here, the name Francis Manapul should be all too familiar. Not only was he the first challenger to step into the ring, but he also beat four of our own 'mettistas in his last round here back in July. A dark day for the blog indeed!

Not only is he a threat here on the internets, but he can also hold his own on the comic racks with such upcoming titles as The Legion of Super-Heroes appearing in December, Iron and the Maiden in November and Sept Guerrieres from Editions Delcourt in 2008. The point here is that he's good, very good even, but then the artist he's facing off against this time is no slouch either: Jim Lee.

You didn't really think Jim was going to sit idly by and watch Francis walk away with the crown, did you? Ha, ha.

Post your choice of two characters below and come back at the end of next week to catch all of the action as Jim Lee faces Francis Manapul!
