I think that’s about covering all the important categories, feel free to add more

2

Narrowing it down to one would help in the long run.

top five could prove difficult for those of us who just don’t read as much.

3

Yeah but just one will make it difficult to choose for those who do read "alot"
So lets say 1 minimum and 5 max

4

I think in the villians section, instead of Larfleeze . it should be Atrocitus or Sinestro. I personally love Larfleeze, but Atrocitus and Sinestro seem like better choices.

5

What? NO NO NO you got it all wrong
those are just MY nominees

just post yours and ill count it with all the others

6

So does it have to be the top 5 for each category?

7

YOUR top 5 (well 1 minimum 5 maximum if you got hard times to pick 5)
doesn’t need to be in order (well mine isn’t)
and if you think i’m missing a category feel free to add

8

As for a category I was thinking maybe best Mini Series?
And of course Best company
Best independent comic
Best collection(HC,tpb Absolute, etc…)

9

you left out the best merc category. deadpool wins this one easily

10

Ugh remembering my fav. covers is gonna be hard sa heck.
Maybe I’ll just narrow it down to Dark Reign, War Machine and Thunderbolts covers sinec those are ones I remember fondly.
Oh and maybe some of my fav. DC titles. I’ll see if I can make my own list.
