I want to remember X-Factor #238 when it's time to nominate something for Best Cover.

[Chris Fluit]

The 'best new series' category is going to be crowded this year.  I want to nominate X-O Manowar as well as Saga but that leaves no room for Batman Beyond Unlimited. 

[Alan M.]

I think it's a safe bet that someone else will suggest Saga if you want to throw in those other two come nominations time. :)

[Chris Fluit]

American Vampire's "Blacklist" is worthy of a best story arc nom. 

[Doc Beechler (mod-MD)]

Yeah, Saga will get my nomination.

[Jason Marconnet (Pint sized mod)]

The two page spread in Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #2 gets my nomination for best splash page. It's a great scene in yellow and black showing Ozzy taking out some thugs.

Note to myself: The cover to Mind Mgmt #3 was awesome — remember to nominate it for best cover.

[Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)]

Yeah, that absolutely creeped me out and fascinated me at the same time.

[Jeff of Earth-J]

I would not be at all surprised in Mike Allred's cover to Daredevil #17 were to win best cover this year.

 

[Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)]

Wolverine and the X-Men #17 (the Doop issue) is worth considering for best single issue or one-shot. Man, that's funny stuff.

[Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)]

An upcoming cover that's worth some consideration: Green Lantern Corps 15, which builds a power battery around Guy Garner with various story elements. Clever stuff:

[Chris Fluit]

Jeff, you may like Daredevil 17, but I think 18 is even better:
