As 2016 sails away in a ball of putrid fire careening towards the sunset of our past, hoping to be long forgotten, it comes time to look back and recognize that despite the state of our seemingly doomed world, at least we pulled out some great comics. There were a ton of stellar pages and characters created in 2016 and this is the chance to recognize that! Who will claim the most coveted and vaunted titles of last year? You decide! Just nominate your three top picks (up to three) for each category and once we tally the choices, we'll gather the majority selections of each and put them up on polls for you to vote, propelling the most-voted candidates to the Winner's Circle to claim all the bragging rights. To help you guys along, the mods have tirelessly compiled some relevant info and data to help you vote. Remember these categories are for comics and artists featured here in the terrible year of 2016!
Voting for nominees begins on the 8th of January and will remain open for one week, at which point the nominees will be selected and presented for a final vote to determine the winners of each category, announced on the last weekend of January.These two stages should give you plenty of time to think critically and/or reread classics of 2016!
