edited January 2008 in Graphic Violence
Welcome to the Nominations thread for the 2007 Graphic Violence Awards! How this is going to work is that everyone is going to list their top five entries in the categories I'm going to list in this thread, and then we'll get a list of nominees based on a complicated point system only I know. Also it's not really complicated.

Anyways.

Put your final nominations in Bold font and put FINAL NOMINATIONS in BOLD RED TEXT so I don't skip past it. Also, please rank your top five, from 1 to 5, this is important

EXAMPLE:
FINAL NOMINATIONS

BEST DOG

1. Krypto
2. Cosmo
3. Sam
4. Lady
5. Scruff McGruff

Your categories to vote on are:

DEATH OF THE YEAR
BEST NON-BIG TWO TITLE
BEST WRITER
BEST NEW SERIES(Series that started in November or December 2006 are acceptable)
BEST EVENT

DISCUSS AND SUCH

ALSO NOMINATE

    who else has died besides Bart and Cap

    edit: well, I thought of another big one, but I know if I added it to my list it would be a pretty big spoiler since a lot of people here read that particular series in trades
