IGN has best of 2005 awards

Here it is: IGN Best of 2005 Comics

 

So I can pretty much agree with most of those awards. Even if I did hate thier 'Best Miniseries' winner House of M. But DC won 'Publisher of the Year' (Image was the runner up instead of Marvel which is weird), and Ultimates 2 won 'Best Ongoing series' so I'm happy.

Good to see Ultimates getting some recognition, since its easily Marvel's best book.

 

They really heaped on the praise for Infinite Crisis and its tie-ins, but gave House of M the best mini-series nod anyways. I guess that's fair since IC isn't over yet, but surely one of the lead-up minis was better than HofM.

Yeah, there's no way House of M was better than Villians United unless you're the markiest of Marvel marks, which IGN definately isn't, given that Marvel didn't even get runner-up in Best Publisher.

Great to see the praise The Ultimates is getting. But I haven't read issue #9, which they elected Best Single Comic of 2005. Can someone spoil the traitor for me, please?
