2012 X-Book Awards- THE RESULTS!

[Omega Alpha]

SUCK IT, HATERS!

Oh, and Cannonball only had two panels in Avengers, yet he was voted over Franklin Richards? You people have to read more, rather than only X-books.

SUCK IT, HATERS!

Oh, and Cannonball only had two panels in Avengers, yet he was voted over Franklin Richards? You people have to read more, rather than only X-books.

But he's in a book outside of the X-Men, and we love him. It's not voted based off of panel time.

Franklin Richard was robbed

Franklin Richard was robbed

Of the letter "s" on the end of his name. Either that or his real dad is the milkman, Mr. Richard.

I wondered whether people would be more likely to vote for Illyana as best villain or hero. I'm glad she ended up where she did (and I definitely count her a hero and believe she believes she does right), but it would have been funny to see her on both lists.

She did get a few villain votes, as well. I wanna say... 8?

Yeesh what a bad year for X-Men it was. Here is hoping 2013 will be better.

I still don't understand why Wiccan and Hulking and AVENGERS: Children Crusade are considered X-Men books. Spider-Man: Spider-Island should have won something, the X-Men were in that too.

[Foon4000]

Wolverine, Beast, Rogue. What an excellently selected Hall O' Shame.

[Phantom Bravery]

Well done, WBE.

Beast should've taken worst. Logan certainly has issues, but he's at least committed to The Dream, whereas Beast brushed off the un-genociding of his own species essentially to settle a pissing match.

And he's usually one of my favorites.

Can't wait for your next update :) - seems like a good year to get back into comics. My fave X-Man is no.1 for once in his life and at rock bottom at the same time and some of the creator owned stuff I've caught up on is amazing.

[x-mind]

Why not an update today??

Why not an update today??

Because sometimes I sleep in, when I'm not working graveyard shifts. Keep your pants on, it's coming.

LEAST FAVORITE COVER OF 2012
Last Year’s winner was X-Men: Legacy (vol. 1) #249, not for any artistic criticism, like with all the Greg Land covers that usually turn up in this category, but because it dared show us Rogneto on it. This year’s winners… well, I’m pretty much just gonna post ‘em with minor commentary, you all can tell me what displeased you so much about these, if you want.


Dishonorable Mention

X-Men:Legacy (vol. 1) #274 (10 points, 2 first place votes)

(Apparently there’s still some venom out there for Rogneto)


Dishonorable Mention

Uncanny X-Men (vol. 2) #8 (11 points, 3 first place votes)

Colossus and Magik chicken-fight against worm muppets.

Third runner-up…

Uncanny Avengers #1(22 points, 5 first place votes)

(a background may have been nice, in my opinion)

[worstblogever]

Second Runner-up…

Uncanny X-Men (vol. 2) #7 (23 points, 3 first place votes)

(The worst ménage a trois Storm’s been in since her days hot-tubbing with Callisto and Yukio)
*

First Runner-up…

Uncanny X-Men (vol. 2) #6 (23 points, 5 first place votes)

(The Immortal Man apparently has the same tailor as War Machine, or something)

The Voters’ Pick for Least Favorite Cover of an X-Book in 2012 is…

Uncanny X-Men (vol. 2) #5 (25 points, 6 first place votes)
(Look like Greg Land just had the equivalent of hitting for the cycle in this category.)
