I'd like to first throw out that after some research a few of Chrissie's Cinderella covers actually came out in 2010. Hell, the last ones cover date was June 2010 (though those are always out there). Congrats Chrissie and I'm sorry.
This is just another reason why I have started and will leave open the Dollar Bin Awards thread on the forum so we can take notes throughout the year, so we don't miss out on those gems from early in the year. http://forums.thedollarbin.net/viewforum.php?f=8
Very happy with these results. Jason Aaron for the Win! Cant wait to get off work so I can listen to this.
I still think that most under-appreciated comic should have been Stuff of Legend. It is so under-appreciated that you people didn't vote for it.
Line from the show goes to Shawn's "It wasn't me was it?" and if I'm remembering correctly, the first such bomb was dropped way back in the Acme days.
Neal Adams? Really people? That was better than the interviewing gold of Christopher Priest or Ron Frenz and Tom DeFalco? Oh and I was in that interview with Robin Furth Adam just cut all of my stuff so I can see how he might have forgotten about my being there as well.
Also I voted for Jim Shooter for the missing from 2010 category since it was a mini interview and not a full-on interview and I am ready to do it. It will be an epic 9 part episode!
And I will still defend my vote for Chew as the most disappointing book this year and if we ever do a show on that title you'll hear my reasons why in more depth. Although in light of recent conversation Adam and I had after interviewing Brent Anderson I may just shift that dislike towards Grant Morrison and anything he writes.
I would have voted for Priest if I remembered it occurred in 2010...man, I'm slipping. Instead, I voted for Grampa Neal, the Charlie Sheen of comic artists.
Words cannot fully express my disappointment in you Terence.
Tee, Charlie Sheen of comics! That's great! Been missing you at recording the shows.
Thanks to everyone who voted and congratulations to the winners. Had a blast doing this show...even though I almost died during it.
I'm twenty minutes in and this is already infinitely more entertaining than the bullshit televised award shows this year put together. Well done.
Great show.That planet explosion was noteworthy. Ryan Ottley is the shit, and the viltrumite war somewhat lived up to the hype. Shaolin Vs Wu-tang..
The Incredible Hulks should have won just by how confused you guys got over how many there actually are, haha! Super entertaining show... I laughed 'til I was smurf smurfitty smurfin' blue.
