Brian K. Vaughan has been named the Best Writer by the Cappie voters for the second year in a row. Vaughan joins Ed Brubaker ('06-'07 and '09) and Geoff Johns ('05, '08-'10) as a repeat winner.
Congratulations to Francisco Francavilla, the winner of this year's Cappie for Best Artist. Francavilla is the driving force behind Dark Horse's Black Beetle comic. He also guested on a couple of issues of Hawkeye for Marvel. Francavilla previously won the Most Underrated Artist Cappie in 2011.
This year's Cappie for Most Underrated Artist was a two-horse race between Green Lantern Corps's Bernard Chang and Aquaman's Paul Pelletier with Pelletier winning a narrow victory.
The best issue of the year didn't even feature the lead character. Instead, Pizza Dog, aka Lucky, stole the spotlight from Clint Barton and, apparently, the hearts of comic book readers everywhere. Hawkeye #11, "Pizza Is My Business," is this year's Best Single Issue or One-Shot.
By the way, Marvel had the top three nominees this year with Amazing Spider-Man #700 finishing second and Hawkeye #7 (the Hurricane Sandy issue) third.
The longest streak in Cappie history continues. DC has won this award every year that it's been offered- 9 years and counting. On top of that, the Batman family of titles have won this award for the past four years with "The Return of Bruce Wayne," "James Gordon Jr.," "Night of the Owls" and now "Zero Year."
Marvel finally broke their losing streak in this category. DC had won 9 out of 10 while indie comic The Red Wing nabbed the top prize in 2011. Now, in the 11th year, Marvel's tentpole comic, Infinity, took top honors.
In one of the closest races of the year, Superior Spider-Man beat last year's winner Saga at the finish line. This is the third straight win for Marvel in this category after Daredevil took top honors in 2011 and '12.
Best Original Graphic Novel: Fairest: In All the Land
The Fables' spin-off title, Fairest, now has a jewel in its own crown. The original graphic novel, In All the Land, has been named the winner of this year's Cappie. Fables won the very first award in this category back in 2006 with 1001 Nights of Snowfall.
Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin have both won Cappies before. Now, they've won one together as the creators of this year's best Webcomic, The Private Eye. The Private Eye is not only a good story. It's also an interesting business model as fans are allowed to name their own price to download an issue.
