Pick Your Favorites!

You see below two images for each character. Click the button under the image you think fits that character best. After a week or so, I'll save the choice that has the most clicks and find another image to compete with it. You can click as many times as you like. 

When I have two candidates with the same number of clicks, I leave them both up. If you run across images elsewhere that you prefer to any of those below, send me the links via the contact form on the home page, and I will post them here. Also, if I don't have any images up for a character you want to see, let me know. â€‹
