Nightwing 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Anyone want to do it? We're closing in on the last few months, and this year has certainly had its share of great books. If so, how many categories, and how many nominees? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 That sounds like a pretty fun idea. The categories are simple we could just go with the usual ones, Best Book, Best Mini, Best Writer, Best Artist, Best Hero, Best Villain, Best Moment, you know the typical stuff. I'd say four or five should be the amount of nominees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Sounds like a good idea. Those categories pretty much cover it, you could throw in Best Cover and Best Publisher too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 There really aren't enough people who regularly visit this folder to have voting. It might be easier to just post our own opinions and argue like the nerds we are. That sounds like a pretty fun idea. The categories are simple we could just go with the usual ones, Best Book, Best Mini, Best Writer, Best Artist, Best Hero, Best Villain, Best Moment, you know the typical stuff. I'd say four or five should be the amount of nominees. Best Book: All-Star Superman Best Mini: Reserved until I read SI #8. Best Writer: Tie- Geoff Johns/Dan Slott Best Artist: Ethan Van Sciver Best hero: Iron Man Best Villain: Skrulls Best Moment: Bucky becomes the new Cap Best Cover: Invincible #50 Best Publisher: Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anakin Flair 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Sadly, I can't even really comment since I mostly read the older books I find. But I do want to add my two sense: Worst Writer: Joss Whedon for beeing constantly and consistently late on ALL of his books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WukenBloodstar 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Best Book: Justice Society of America/Green Lantern(tie) Best Mini: Sinestro Corps War Best Writer: Tie- Geoff Johns Best Artist: Ethan Van Sciver Best hero: Kingdom Come/Earth-22 Superman Best Villain: Sinestro Best Moment: Return of Barry Allen (Final Crisis) Best Cover: Invincible #50 Best Publisher: DC/Dark Horse(tie) Should be one for worst series and worst mini. In that case, Marvel would sweep both with Red Hulk and Ultimates 3/Secret Invasion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightwing 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Um, give nominees for now; voting in secret (though it seems fairly obvious for more than a few of the categories who is going to win ) via PM. Good names for awards would be neat as well. For example: Jeph Loeb/Judd Winnick Memorial Award for Character Destruction (Author/Character Category) The "Geoff Johns Retooling" Award for Most Improved Character (Author/Character Category) The "So Wait, They CLONED THOR?!" Award for Worst Moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blade2kxx 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Jeph Loeb/Judd Winnick Memorial Award for Character Destruction: Jeph Loeb - EVERY MEMBER OF THE ULTIMATES The "Geoff Johns Retooling" Award for Most Improved Character: Greg Pak - The Hulk... it's a shame Loeb had to turn it all to shite. The "So Wait, They CLONED THOR?!" Award for Worst Moment: Red Hulk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Jeph Loeb definitely wins worst writer in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Best Book: Tiny Titans by Art Baltazar and Franco. Seriously, this is probably one of the best books your not reading. It's fun, it's smart, and its aimed at kids. I'd also like to give a shout out to The Spirit, as Darwyn Cooke and now the Sergei Aragones/Mike Ploog/Paul Smith team have been delivering great single issue stories. Best Mini: Secret Invasion. Good goofy super hero fun. Best Writer: Matt Fraction. His Punisher War Journal is solid, as well as his collaborative projects with Brubacker. Best Artist: John Romita Jr. Go read Kick-Ass... I never knew he could draw splatterhouse gore. Best hero: Booster Gold Best Villain: Norman Osborn Best Moment: Batman thanking Booster Gold for trying to stop the Joker from crippling Barbara Gordon. Best Cover: I just love this one; it's full of energy. And it has a dinosaur fighting a sabretoothed cat. Best Publisher: Marvel. As a company, I think they are firing on all cylinders. They've done a good job of highlighting their second-tier characters in the 616 line, Marvel Adventures is a solid group of kids titles, they are branching out into book stores with their Stephen King, Classics Illustrated and a strong TPB release schedule, and have been the most proactive comics publisher to start an online content set up. Plus, their Icon line (Kick-Ass, Powers and Criminal) is great. Jeph Loeb/Judd Winnick Memorial Award for Character Destruction: Grant Morrison and Dan Didio. Here's the problem. Grant's a great avante garde concept writer who for the most part can do whatever he wants. Unfortunately, he's conflicting himself and the whole rest of the product line, thanks to DD's enabling. The "Geoff Johns Retooling" Award for Most Improved Character: Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente's Hercules. Seriously, they have me buying a monthly Hercules book. The "So Wait, They CLONED THOR?!" Award for Worst Moment: Ultimate Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver being incestuous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broward83 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 The "So Wait, They CLONED THOR?!" Award for Worst Moment: Ultimate Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver being incestuous. wait... what?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 The "So wait, they CLONED THOR?!" award is pretty much self-explanatory and self-describing imo. THEY CLONED THOR. and it turned into a disaster. Theres pretty much nothing worse than that moment. BAD. BAD. BAD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anakin Flair 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 I'm thinking Broward meant the second part of that. Yes, in the Ultimate Universe, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were getting it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2008 I thought that they ran as part of their respective series from 07 through 08. If I need to change them I will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
