The best (and worst) of 2006

(I think there was another thread like this which went awry, but it was still a nice idea)

So anyway, I'm interested in what people think were the best in comics of 2006, and if for a category there was anything or anyone you'd consider the worst of 2006.

And if possible a little about why.

So here are the categories (I've appropriated from other threads and sites), if you can think of anything else worth noting feel free to add.

Villain:Genis, I really liked what they did with him this year, to be honest, I preferred Genis to photon.

Fight:Beta Ray Bill VS Stardust-A great battle of the cosmics, really potrayed Bill well

Best character/good guy : Sentry ... Na only joking, Has to go too Superman. The revamp in his three books have made his, one of the most interesting books around.

Best Villain : Iron man .... what a BASTARD, he pips 'Super Emo' to the line.

Best Newcomer:Vulcan I suppose, Not very many new characters this year, although Khyber (From Superman) looks to be something cool.

Best 'Come back'/Revamp: Superboy 'Emo' Prime.

Best Moment : Oh my god there have been so many, we have had Wolverine getting to know his more feminine side in Astonishing, we've had Ultimate Hawk-eye killing people with his finger nails in Ultimates, we've had Spider man reveal himself and we've had both Thor's Ultimates. I loved how Quicksilver killed 'Hurricane' in Ultimates and Black Adams 'finger of death' in Infinite Crisis. But my favourite moment by far, has to go to the 'The biggest mistake u made, was that you didn't let the Joker play', i.e. when Joker killed Alex Luthor in IC number 7.

Greatest W.T.F. moment : Sentry kissing the void in the last issue of his terrible mini.

Best Revelation: Code Lightning, Thor's return.

No .... but another source 😖hifty:

Newsarama? 😉

Worst death (Marvel): Banshee or Alpha Flight

Best

Hero: Ironman (I don’t care what anyone says; Extremis was awesome and he’s still the man). Captain America has been pretty great as well so split decision.

Villain: Ronan; even though he is a hero in Annihilation he is still considered a villain. His mini was cool and has kicked ass in Annihilation.

Team: Astonishing X-Men; great characters, good stories, and good art.

New character: Ravenous

Fight: Galactus and Silver Surfer vs. Aegis and Tenebrous

Cliffhanger: Amazing Spiderman # 535 Ironman knocks peter through the wall: the end. Or Annihilation # 4 Thanos dies.

Writer: Josh Whedon/ Keith Giffen

Artist: David Finch

Writer/artist combination: Gregg Pak, and Aaron Lopresti

Cover art: Annihilation # 4 with Drax and Thanos, Or Annihilation Super Skrull # 1

New series: Justice League of America

Miniseries: Annihilation; By far the best story, good fights, and pretty good art.

Single issue: Civil War 3 or 4; The One where Thor kills Bill and Cap and IM go at it.

Event or crossover: Annihilation

Overall best ongoing comic: Hulk

Company: Marvel

There can possibly be any worse writer at this moment than Will Pfeifer for Catwoman. Trully an embarrasment in the DCU. Without a doubt that idiot ruined the Catwoman series. Even worse he thinks he is funny in his interviews.

Best comic would go to Villains United and Day of Vengeance.

Captain Marvel for me is the best hero in 06.

Hero:Iron Man (Already explained this in another thread)

Villain: I forget who I put down here, but its in another thread

Team: Nextwave, sure the book has been canceled but its still the funniest god damn book on the market

New character: Said it in the other thread

Fight: Said it in other thread

Cliffhanger: "Thor's" Return - CW #3

Writer: Mark Millar (for Ultimates 2, Ultimate FF and CW)

Artist: Steve McNiven (started out on a sleeper hit MK 4 and went to the biggest crossover since Secret Wars!)

Writer/artist combination: Bendis and Bagley for Ultimate Spider-Man (Clone Saga at least 😄)

Cover art: Mike Turner (for CW covers)

New series: Nextwave

Miniseries: Justice

Single issue: Ultimate Fantastic Four #29. (The Super Skrull destroys a world of superpowered heroes and is defeated by a powerless Ben Grimm, who must then sacrifice a chance of himself becoming human to save earth. Brilliant!) (Runner-Up:Ult. FF #32)

Graphic novel: Fables: vol.1 (Sure it may have come out a while ago, but I just read it this year and was blown away 😄)

Event or crossover:- First Half of Civil War (I draw the line at Clor Millar)

Overall best ongoing comic: Astonishing X-men

Company: Marvel

Eh, Banshee's death was garbage, but AF's death isn't cannon as far as I know of.

Because I swear to god, if the Collective is Canon, I will HURT YOU Bendis! 😠

Best Title: Daredevil.

...the rest I really don't feel strongly about.

It's canon, Omega Flight is being created due to the events of New Avengers #16

[B]Graphic novel: Fables: vol.1 (Sure it may have come out a while ago, but I just read it this year and was blown away 😄)[/B]

Hero:
Best- Captain America. Guy is fighting an entire nation
Worst - Superman. Developed a Jesus complex.

Villain:
Best - Nitro. Kills a bunch of people and doesn't regret a moment of it.
Worst - Superemo Prime. Huuuuge dissapointment

Team:
Best: Green Lanter Corps. Probably the best comic DC has right now.
Worst: New Avengers. The only worthwhile part of the comic was Luke Cage

New character:
Best - Well, he's newer. I'd give it to either Hulkling or Vision II
Worst - Once again, Superemo Prime

Fight:
Best - Spider-Man vs Captain America
Worst - The Battle for Metropolis. Amazo getting wtfpwned, etc., tied with Hulk and Friends vs Silver Surfer.

Cliffhanger:
Best - Civil War 1
Worst - World War Hulk, issue before the fight with Surfer

Writer:
Best - Michael Avon Oeming
Worst - Geoff Johns. IC was doing sooo well, and he made it all about Superman. GAH!

The rest I may touch on later.
