Best Ongoing series- New Avengers or Captain America

Best Mini series - Secret Invasion

Best One shot- Incredible Hulk vs Hercules, When Titans Collide OR Giant size Astonishing X-men #1 (conclusion to Whedon's run)

Best Fight Scene - The battle between Herc's God Squad vs the Skrull Duo in the climatic ending to Sacred Invasion (Incredible Herc)

Worst Ongoing comic- Anything with Ultimate on the front that's written by Jeph Leob

Mike Carey should get best writer, and X-Men: Legacy best series. I'm loving the new Xavier as well, much better than the old Xavier, I'd say he should get the most improved character.

a part of me just died.



will put up my votes soon...

Worst Series: Astonishing X-Men.

lol. Please. Xavier/X-Men: Legacy/Mike Carey have been consistently amazing, producing by far the best recent stories that have featured in the Marvel continuity.

Oh and Emma Frost has gotta take worst character. Hate that b1tch. She and Scott make a terrible couple.

i was about to argue, but then you said this:

Whedon's stuff was amazing but I haven't read any of Ellis' stuff yet....

There's not really anything to argue about. Scott and Emma share absolutely no chemistry, they make a completely unrealistic couple, and the dialogue between them at times can be completely cringe worthy. As for Emma frost alone as a character, she's a completely 1-dimensional character that they keep on trying to do more with, and fail at it each time. Even their attempts at making her come across as "sassy" just sound stupid and forced. There's literally nothing good they can do with the character.

As for X-Men: Legacy it has something that most titles out there completely lack: depth. The manner in which the series looks at Xavier's past and the ethically questionable decisions he's made throughout his life, and the transformation that the character goes through provides a lot of substance to the series that you certainly don't get anywhere near as much of in any of the other X-Books.

it doesnt hold a candle to whedon's, imo...

I think the people who voted Leifield as worst artist must have forgotten all about Howard Chaykin.




Howard Chaykin's art = a turd on a stick smeared across your mother's curtains.

With Green Arrow and Black Canary, you know what you're getting. With Astonishing X-Men, the bar is set higher, so the disappointment is higher, imo...
