Yes, it does seem to be in the wrong forum, but IGN does have a comic section on their site. I found out via a GameFAQs posting that they went and did a Best Of 2006 list for comics and I thought I'd put it up here to see if you guys agreed or not with their choices. Here's also the link to the IGN article itself.
Best Cover: 52 #1
Best New Book: Nextwave
Best Single Issue: Daredevil #86
Best Miniseries: Infinite Crisis
Best Story Arc: Devil in Cell Block D
Best Moment: Iron Man vs. Captain America - Civil War #3
Best Original Graphic Novel: Pride of Baghdad
Best Collection: Absolute Sandman
Best Movie (DVD or Film): Superman II: The Donner Cut
Best Collectible: Dr. Doom Throne Room Statue
Best Indie Book: Mouse Guard
Best Publisher: Marvel Comics
Best Hero: Captain America
Best Villain: Iron Man
Best Babe: Emma Frost
Best Artist: Steve McNiven
Best Writer: Ed Brubaker
Best Ongoing Series: Fables
I disagree with Best Miniseries (Beyond! or any of the Annilhation series were a lot better than IC), Best Moment (can't think of one right now), Best Publisher, Best Hero, and most certainly Best Villian (I guess being written horribly out of character makes you a better villian than Lex "let's cut this kid open and take out his organs" Luthor).
I was going to be all mad that X--Factor didn't win best new book. But #1 came out in December 2005.
I really don't see how you can give the best publisher to anyone but Marvel. They just had such a good year. Planet Hulk, Annihilation, X-Factor, Son of M, FNSM, Runaways, Daredevil, just so much stuff that's fantastic month after month.
Best Cover: Eh, I think there were some better ones just in 52. Booster's goggles, Steel holding Natasha's helmet, and the Steel "propaganda" cover were all better I think.
Best Miniseries: Wow, really? Yeesh. I'd have to dig through everything I've bought in the past year, but I know I read some minis that were a lot better than IC.
Best Villain: I think it's kind of a stretch to call Tony a villain (now if this were for best antagonist I think he'd be perfect), but on the other hand I can't think of any really great, nuanced villains that have appeared lately. But hell, if they were giving Daredevil so much love, why not go with Kingpin?
Best Babe: Best retarded category.
Other than that, I can pretty much agree with their picks. It's good to see Nextwave and Mouse Guard get a little bit of attention too.

As far as I'm cencerned Vertigo makes DC the better publisher no matter what. MARVEL refuses to do anything like it. No, MAX doesn't count. It take more than saying "fuck" in a comic to make it "mature"
Also, FNSM? Son of M? Please. FNSM is terrible and Son of M had some of the worst art that came out this year.

Yeah....at least now I know not to count your opinion ever again.
I don't really like them naming Cap and Iron Man hero and villain, respectively. I don't really think Iron Man is the villain here - which side of Civil War is right should be for the reader to decide.
The Donner Cut sucked balls and was completely pointless.
No mentions of Ares, Seven Soldiers, Annihilation or Planet Hulk? What the fuck.

It's pretty clear that the pro-side of Civil War are the bad guys. They're rich, white, probably republican, and have been shown in a negative light the entire time.

what? need other people to do your thinking?
I have no idea what you just tried to say.
He means that he disagrees with you very much about FNSM and Son of M, as they were both incredibly awesome.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Moment of the year was by far New Avengers Illuminati v2 #1.

People are supposed to hate the villain of the story more than anything. The villain is someone who, if placed face to face, you would immediately try and stab in the face.
Ladies and Gents..The Griffin took that honor this year.

That aside, it's pretty solid.
No on Best Publisher--I'd pick DC
the rest are decent picks

He killed Pole Dancer and Tornado Ninja
that's fucking evil
though he did do us all a favor by killing Wave Rider
If they were going to give it to anyone in Civil War, Maria Hill probably deserves it more than Tony.
unless Didio is responsible for Civil War #2 and New Avengers #26 I don't see how he would win it

There's a lot of Didio hate here. Mainly from Munch. He killed the Superbuddies, and apparently can never be forgiven.
Yeah, I guess there's a lot of legitimate reasons to dislike him, and there's a few people here who just run with it.
Well, you can't aruge with logic. Griffen ftw.
Yeah, but Bendis wrote it. Making it suck shit through a straw made out of donkey cock
Any time I get to see Bends and Maleev work together, I'm happy.
We got us another one.
I called it first! 10:14am!

About damn time we got some words of reason around here.

Best #1 issue in a LONG damn time. Also, the "Coming Soon" page was cool
Further proof that only Mass-holes know whats up
And I live in Massachusetts as well, so you can't hold that against me.
We need to start keeping track of them.
