It's good to populate this thread early and often, especially in the first months of the year. In that spirit:
It's too soon to tell -- she's appeared on exactly one page -- but signs are good that I should keep Sacagawea in mind for Best New Character and Best Female Character.
Oh, and Chris, might as well get a ruling on this early: Would Manifest Destiny be eligible for Best Comic Book Adaptation, as it's based on historical figures and it's adapted -- extremely loosely -- from Lewis & Clark's journals?
Note to self: Shaolin Cowboy #4 was released January 8, 2014.
You really liked that? Whew, talk about horse races!

The last time we discussed it, issue #4 had yet to be released. Issue #4 redeems issues #1-3.
Plus I'm trying to be coy about which category I'm going to place it.
Gotcha, I still think it was a pretty terrible series, but I can see a few categories it can go into.
I think that's a bit of a stretch.

I thought so, too, but figured I'd ask upfront rather than wait until the end of the year.
Hey, Mods! Can we get this pinned to the top of the forum in place of the 2013 one?
Done and done!
Berni Wrightson's Frankenstein Alive, Alive! is back and deserves to be nominated (and to win) in at least one category.
Superman Sunday Pages is a worthy contender best reprint or archive.
Superman #28 (which shipped this week) had a nice cover.
