Fingers crossed guys, lord knows you deserve it
Whoot! Whoot!
How is Jean Francois not nominated for best colorer for Invincible????? This makes no sense.
Awesome and well deserved. Saga and Pretty Deadly are on the top of my reading list with TWD, always.
You guys reading The Wicked + The Divine? I’ve almost picked it up so many times and the other day I actually had a dream about it even though I have no clue what the premise even is!
Well deserve. But it will be boring to win it every year, because it is the best and has not competition.
All the comics I read are from Image and for this year 2014-2015 this is my top 5 list
1st The Walking Dead (always brilliant)
2nd Southern Bastards ( awesome, I am waiting for vol 2 to come )
3er The fade out (worth the time waiting for a new issue )
4th Outcast
5th Birthright
Saga?
Saga, Personally, it is not what I like, I gave it a go but…I will not follow the series…said that,saga has very good reviews and people love it but unfortunately I am not one of them.
Fair enough… that Southern Bastards must be pretty good. I keep running across that title.
