- This has been an exciting year!
-
- * IMAGE! 'nuff said
-
- * X-Men are finally over
-
- * Legion of SH is finally over
-
- Lots of disappointments, and some great stuff too.
-
- Keep on Keeping on award: Mike Grell & Green Arrow. He's got a good
- thing, and it keeps being good month after month. The only Dee See title
- I read any longer.
-
- Put it out of its misery already award: The X-Men and the Legion
- both get this. The Legion has been going downhill since Levitz left,
- and they should have cancelled it then. Now, with Giffen gone and
- the Losers writing and drawing it, it should be called something else.
- Not the same book by any means.
-
- X-Men get it for Claremont leaving. He was all that the X-Men were.
- He had *so* much going on, every book was an experience trying to
- figure out the story. Never again. They should cancel this title!
- It's like the Mutant Fantastic Four now, beat-em-up and forget the
- plot. They didn't know how good Claremont was.
-
- The Tom Palmer World's Greatest Inker ever award goes to: Tom Palmer
- again. :) If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
-
- The Best Comic of the Year award goes to: Cyberforce #1. Marc Silvestri
- outdid himself and is getting to his true potential. Hard work pays
- off, and all those years of X-This and X-That have made it happen.
-
- The Chris Squire Does It Really Happen award is for: Wetworks #1. It
- didn't happen. Unless it happens next week, but I doubt it!!! Lots
- of hype and no comic.
-
- The He Even Amazed Himself award goes to: Supreme #1 -- I think everyone
- would have to be surprised at how good this turned out to be.
- especially after that ad intro section in another book.
-
- The Obfuscated C Programming award goes to: Youngblood for
- starting with 0.
-
- The Only Celebrity On the Internet award goes to: Peter David, who
- ought to wise up and get a real comic to write. I saw Quesada's
- art, and it stank. I expected something good, not another hack
- artist. At least Jae Lee had some unusual ideas.
-
- The Woke Up And Smelled The Coffee award goes to:
-
- JERRY ORDWAY!!!
-
- He finally decided to do a real book, Wildstar!! Can't *wait* for
- that one.
-
- The BEST COVER ARTIST goes to Steve Lightle once again.
