2007 Graphic Violence Awards
Hey guys, now’s the time of year where everyone takes a look back at what happened and arbitrarily decides if stuff that came out was awesome or terrible, then puts said stuff into lists or gives things awards based upon such decisions! So I figured it’s time for us here at Graphic Violence to take a crack at it.
So what’s going to happen is we are going to have a nomination process for a number of categories. I’m going to list some categories and open a nomination thread, at least one a week until we get through all of them, and then once I have the final nominations in, we’ll put it to a vote.

how about Death of the Year and New Character of the Year?
PSN: OrneryRooster
I'm kind of hoping someone puts together one of those tribute videos they do at all the awards shows for all the characters that died this year.
(Also I don't think there's much competition for death of the year, honestly)
BUT if enough people want it, we'll put it in. This is for everybody!
PSN: OrneryRooster
I second that.

PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Although since Invincible falls under it I'm not sure.
Best reveal could be another good one.
Most improved/comeback character of the year.
As would Best Death somewhat now that I think about it.
The Eisner's have categories for Artist and Cover Artist and I'll be damned if the GV Awards don't.

A few people did that last year.
Jonah Hex ain't wearin' no tights.
Therefore he wins. With guns.

Breakthrough Artist
Breakthrough Writer
Breakthrough Book
And I agree about Brubaker. He's been on point pretty much all year.
Can we do it to Benny Hill, and only Captain America gets an actual tribute?
not that Wonder Girl deserves any awards other than "Awful art" and "Fucking finally they brough Empress and Arrowette back"
If not it'd be Suicide Squad just for being Suicide Squad
I haven't read it but I heard it was disappointing
But I love Catman and Deadshot and Knockout and Vandal and fucking Mad Hatter
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Fear Agent, Immortal Iron Fist, Casanova (ongoing)
My favorite artists... Ryp and Aja, with Ba and Moon tying for second.

I think there should.
I'll probably just vote along with stuff other people nominate.
when i read that post i thought 'oh i haven't read it either', but then i looked and it turns out i bought it and read it and ultimately forgot it existed, so
As for nominations, MODOK's 11, Shazam! and the Monster Society of Evil, and (if it counts) Metal Men for miniseries, and Booster Gold for best new series, and Sinestro Corps for Best Event.
Hmm, I could go with Booster Gold or The Order.
Best Artist I'm inclined to say JH Williams III for his Batman run.
Book of The Year I have no idea yet
maybe Captain America, maybe Green Lantern
