Favourite villain: The Mistress(Ivar, Timewalker)
Favourite supporting character: Neela Sethi(Ivar, Timewalker)
Favourite fight scene: EW vs Unity in BOD#2

[BugsySig]

Favourite hero: Ivar
Favourite heroine: Doctor Mirage
Favourite villain: Harada
Favourite supporting character: Sunlight on Snow/Mech Major
Favourite fight scene: Peter v. Harada (Book of Death: Fall of Harbinger)
Most disappointing moment: Dead Drop...pick a page[/QUOTE]

I don't know if I can pick a book of the year. It's a toss up between Imperium and Ivar for me, while the BoD "Fall of..." one-shots were very good. But for VEI the most important book may have beeen Divinity based on the attention it has received.

Favourite hero: Ninjak
Favourite heroine: Dr. Mirage
Favourite villain: Harada (if you consider him a villain)
Favourite supporting character: Sunlight on Snow
Favourite fight scene: Divinity vs Harada easily wins this one.
Most disappointing moment: Trying to justify to myself spending $16 for the Dead Drop miniseries. That was an absolute waste of time and money.

Even though nothing about Bloodshot won any individual categories for me, I voted it my favorite book of this year, largely on the fact that it has improved so much from the previous run.

Favourite hero: Ray Garrison
Favourite heroine: Livewire
Favourite villain: Toyo Harada
Favourite supporting character: Roku
Favourite fight scene: Divinity vs. Harada.
Most disappointing moment: It rhymes with Dead Drop.

Tough choice on the favorite title, but I think that the BoD Fall of... one-shots get my vote. Combined together they make one delicious vision of the future that I can't wait to see unfold. Other strong candidates are Imperium and Ivar, Timewalker.

[Knight of DC]

Favourite hero: Ivar, Timewalker
Favourite heroine: Does Neela count? I think she totally counts.
Favourite villain: Toyo Harada
Favourite supporting character: Sunlight on Snow
Favourite fight scene: Peter vs. the Harada Mind
Most disappointing moment: Yeah, sorry, it's Dead Drop

As for the book of the year: I chose Imperium. Sure Book of Death: Fall of Harbinger was my Valiant Single Issue of the Year, potentially Issue of the Year period, but the other one-shots of the series didn't hit me as hard.

Man, it's seemed like this year went by so fast, at least in regards to Valiant books. It seems like yesterday when I was experiencing all the new Valiant Next titles. Oh, how far we've come. You should add more categories though!
Book of the Year
Imperium
Bloodshot Reborn, Divinity, Book of Death, and The Valiant were all very close, but Imperium is just killing it so hard. I couldn't ask for a better story, or more realized characters.

Favourite hero:
Gilad

Favourite heroine:
Neela Seethi

Favourite villain
Toyo Harada. Easy.

Favourite supporting character
Sunlight on Snow / Gravedog

Favourite fight scene
Gilad/Tama vs. Darque/Evil spirit things
Various Armors vs. Dead Hand
Unity vs. Divinity
Ninjak vs. Roku Rd. 2
Unity vs. Gilad
I couldn't pick just one.

Most disappointing moment:
Unity #20, seeing like the 6th random group of super-people from the past. I almost never show any negative emotion while reading a comic, even if the book isn't very good, but I literally groaned out loud and put the comic down.

Best story arc:
Divinity, followed closely by Colorado.

Best single issue:
X-O 38, Imperium 1, Timewalker 4, Unity 16, Book of Death 1, Fall of X-O Manowar, Fall of Bloodshot

Best Writer:
Robert Venditti (X-O, BoD, Fall of X-O, and Eternal Warrior.. I mean, come on)

Best artist:
1. Rafa Sandoval
2. Mico Suayan
3. Clay Mann
4. Juan Jose Ryp
5. Trevor Hairsine
My boy Clayton Henry is still my favorite Valiant artist, and Doug Braithwaite will always be amazing, but these guys blew me away this year, especially Sandoval. That guy is a beast. More importantly, all of these guys fit so perfectly with their respective series/issues.

[Detox]

Favorite hero Ninjak, cool gadgets and lots of atittude.
Favorite heroin Livewire, great story of overcoming adversity.
Favorite villain Toyo Harada, one of the most powerful, complex characters in all of comics.
Favorite supporting character Roku, shes just badass, love the hair.
Favorite fight scene Harada v Divinity, literally got goosebumps.
Most disappointing moment Dead Drop was horrid.

My favorite book is Imperium. It's simply a masterpiece. My favorite comic im currently reading and one of my all time favorites as well.

Favorite Writer: Joshua Dysart
Favorite Artist: Mico Suayan

Most disappointing moment

Favourite Hero: X-O Manowar (I'm betting 2016 will be huge for The a Eternal Warrior)
Favourite Heroine: does Saana count? I didn't think I'd enjoy the character but man she grew on me, and was awesome last issue.
Favourite Villain: The Immortal Enemy in the hat and suit. Just such a creepy villain.
Favourite supporting character: This is hard to pick. Saana or Roku I guess.
Favourite fight scene: Gilad vs Unity in Book of Death 2
Most disappointing moment: the decline of the Unity title. I sadly dropped it in June I believe.

Looking forward to Valiant in 2016.
