Some fair choices, some regrettable “Stockholm syndrome” decision-making by the voters, there.

Hmmm…I feel like some of these winners won off of name rather than output. I don’t remember seeing all that much from Alan Davis last year, or the Joker…I might be forgetting some stuff.
Good to see the love continue for Aja, Fraction and Bru for their respective work.
Surprised Marvel.com won, maybe their DCU initiative put them over everyone else?

“Stockholm syndrome”
lol
Thats an almost perfect explanation of how everyone uses their wallets on Wednesdays.
Not saying I’m 100 percent above it either.
