Even if you're not the biggest fan of the franchise, we've all got a favorite Turtle -- even if that choice is based solely on the weapon or mask color. But has that character held onto our number one spot as we've grown older? That was the subject of the latest Comic Book Question of the Week and, while the results were certainly close, one Turtle edged out a victory over all of the competition. You can still lead the group, Leo, but it looks like Raph leads when it comes to the fans!
Earning 26% of the votes, the sai-wielding hero in a half shell is now officially Comic Vine's favorite TMNT character. Sporting an aggressive attitude, Raph has always been a favorite to many as he questioned Leo's orders and never backed down from a fight. Personally, I voted for Shredder. What can I say? I'm a sucker for badass villains and the recent series from IDW, TMNT: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE FOOT CLAN, reminded me of just how awesome and intimidating the fiend can really be. Plus, he's about to take Manhattan by storm in an upcoming story over in the primary title. If you voted for Raph, what's your favorite moment with the character? If not, who'd you vote for and why?
Check out the poll results below.
