The Vertigo Awards (CBR Edition)

[Jack Zodiac]

Alright, kids. Vertigo has published a whole lot of great books, and most of those books get ignored in most fan awards because they're overshadowed by the superhero genre. So here, among ourselves, we'll start throwing some names out for some of our favorite books and heroes and in a few days, I'll compile the four most nominated in each category, and we'll hold our own poll.

So now, what's your:

Favorite Current Ongoing

Favorite Current Mini-series

Favorite Completed Ongoing

Favorite Completed One-shot or Mini-series

Favorite Original Graphic Novel

Favorite Hero

Favorite Heroine

Favorite Supporting Male Character

Favorite Supporting Female Character

Favorite Male Villain

Favorite Female Villain

Favorite Writer

Favorite Penciller

Favorite Inker

Favorite Colorist

Favorite Letterer

Favorite Cover Artist

If you guys can think of anything else we should add, by all means, suggest them. Everyone nominate only one for each category and in a while, I'll compile them and we'll hold a poll via PMs. I'll nominate mine later tonight. The rest of you, get cracking!

[dancj]

Bear in mind that I'm a TPB man, so Loveless, DMZ, Testament etc are out of the running and I've only read one TPB of Exterminators, which has potential, but hasn't grabbed me enough yet...

Favorite Current Ongoing - Fables

Favorite Completed Ongoing - Swamp Thing (The Alan Moore/Rick Veitch/Mark Millar one - not the recent tripe)

[Jack Zodiac]

Is this all time or current? Spider Jerusalem or Bugby depending on that.

Let's say, for the creator/character categories, we'll go with all-time instead of current.

Favorite Inker - John Tottleben (if allowed)

Sure, why wouldn't he be? Also, if you want to, you can vote for him for favorite cover artist, too. No reason to limit an artist like Totleben when he doesn't limit himself.

Keep 'em comin', guys. Once we get about two pages of nominations, I'll shut down, tally, and we'll start voting.

[Mr. Palmer]

What about a category for OGN?

[Jack Zodiac]

What about a category for OGN?

Completely glazed over that one.

Alright, guys, if you can, cast an extra nomination for favorite original graphic novel.

[dancj]

Sure, why wouldn't he be?

Only if we were supposed to be voting for current inkers. I could have voted for him as favourite cover artist too, but I generally perfer his inkwork to his painting which mosst of his covers were

Favourite OGN: Pride of Baghdad.

[Jack Zodiac]

Only if we were supposed to be voting for current inkers. I could have voted for him as favourite cover artist too, but I generally perfer his inkwork to his painting which mosst of his covers were
