Pretty solid choices all around. Looks like you guys have some customers with good taste! I would have probably went with Jason Aaron for best writer and Darwyn Cooke for best artist myself but it's hard to argue with any of the picks. I imagine your personal choices are forthcoming?
They were my choices for writer and artist too but I wasn't displeased with the eventual winners. Criminal got my vote for best title and Guardians Of The Galaxy as best new title. Went with Image for best publisher because, as much as I love many Marvel books, stuff like Secret Invasion, Brand New Day etc hasn't done them any favours in 2008.
