WOW. Thank you guys so much for the nomination!

Also, some very respectable choices on the awards. The only one I'd argue with is Joe The Barbarian for best mini, since it hasn't wrapped yet, I'd certainly go with Daytripper or DV8!

Thanks again fellas!

Joe The Barbarian should have been wrapped by now (the final issue keeps slipping back in the schedules) but I think the combination of Grant Morrison writing a self-contained tale not bogged down with pretentiousness, along with some hugely impressive art from Sean Murphy, made this a favourite even though it remains incomplete.

(Daytripper was my choice, by the way!)

Justin Giampaoli said...

The lack of pretention and needing to read 7 other books was a huge selling point, as was Murphy's art, can't fault you there.

I really like the difficult choice between Rebekah Issacs and Kody Chamberlain too! Must have been tough.
