Given how many of us are here and strong opinions so many of us have had in the past year...I'm always surprised by the low voter turnout for the annual XBA

On that note, I had a shocking revelation when I began entering my votes: I struggle to recall any of the earliest content of this past year.

That being said, I'm making a conscious effort in the year 2023 to document joy as it transpires.
No I'm not keeping a diary, but I do plan on making lists of things that please me, and that will include citing specific issues, moments and quotes from my X-books this year. That way I'll be better prepared for MoS in the future.

There wasn't much content in the first few months of 2022 altogether. Much of the line was put on hold for Lives/Deaths and there were a ridiculous number of delays on top of that
