Year End Awards 2002

Welcome to our Fourth Annual Awards where you, the readers of our website, pick out your favorite characters and stories! Ballots will be accepted up until New Years Eve and the results will be posted on the first update of the New Year! Voter information will be kept confidential, but we will use quotes from the various entries when giving the results. Please, only one ballot per person and remember all candidates have to have appeared on our site.

Just like previous years, Muskateer and myself are voting as well. Our choices will have already been made before this page was even posted. Our choices will be revealed when you submit your ballot and our reasons will be discussed when the winners are announced. If you voted last year, then the format remains the same. Only those files released in the last 12 months should count when making your choices. (We won't ignore votes outside of these issues, but these are the ones your votes should be based on.)

These files include: Avengers #33-35, Huntress #26-28, Muskateer #23-25, Lost Heroes #6, Scarlet Sabre #11-13, Spectrum # 31-32, Troubleshooters #22-30, X-Factor #18-22, and Young Champions #22-25. To help make things a little bit easier on everyone, we've put together a Year in Review page that will briefly re-cap each issue along with insider notes.

Should your browser not support forms, then just send us a E-mail with your choices.
Just make the subject of your mail 'Awards Submission'.
