Voting for the 2012 X-Book Awards as Chosen by CBR Posters

[Mechano]

I know I LOL'ed at this.



One of the funnier moments of the year, I thought. I can't recall a hero's body being used to callously taunt someone since the time Deathbird mocked Lilandra with Sikorsky.

They couldn't have picked a better character to have their bleeding carcass drug around for issues on end...

[Justin K.]

Best Onomatopeia has to go for Hawkeye's prophetic arrow in AvX #11

Thank you!

So help me, if cheese-doodle dukes doesn't get death of the year...

I partially agree. His death wasn't as impactful as Xavier's, but I think it was pretty cool.

Shark-portation was certainly original, as far as methods of killing go.

[Atomiq]

I know it's comics, but sharks need to keep swimming forward or they asphyxiate. I guess it would have thrashed still.

It probably would have tried to chew its way out while it choked and died. Both it, and Dukes would have been killing each other at the same time.

[graffiX]

Having trouble thinking of "Best Kiss" options. Did Husk and Toad kiss in WaTXM?

[JackalsIII]

NICE.

I want to believe Greg Pak suggested that to somebody. He's getting famous for joke onomatopoeia like that.



X-Men Spotlight on... Starjammers #2. Back in 1990.

I actually read that! Have to reread that as I don't recall that scene.

Thought maybe it happened during War of Kings or something.

[worstblogever]

I have a Rouge Mort suggestion that hasn't been brought up:


Wolverine kills a polar bear for warmth, even though he was in the Antarctic, and they're native to the other hemisphere... and then wears the whole thing, effectively carrying around over 1,000 pounds in the freezing snow while not in its fur to "stay warm".

I think the most missed character is of course, THE BRICK! I miss it :(

That might explain why he's more brain damaged than he's ever been.

[nthompson182]

people should really consider voting for this as best cover

[Boozier]

Because Rogue's boobs are bigger than her waist?

The arrow replaced the brick this year.

No. She looks disproportionate and misleads from the actual crap inside.
