May we have the envelope, please…?
The Golden Globes, the Oscars, the Grammy’s, the Director’s Guild, the Writer’s Guild, the Producer’s Guild, ahhh! The list goes on and on and on and… well, you get the point. It’s definitely awards season; that time of year when there’s an awards show or ceremony for almost anything and everything in entertainment. There’s even an awards show for things that suck. Too bad there isn’t an award for the worst awards show…. hey, there’s an idea. Well, we want to get in on this action by presenting the first Meltdown Comic Awards of 2009, or the MCA’s since every good awards show needs a nickname, and we need your votes to find the winners. Since there’s no better authority in these categories than the people who actually read the comics themselves, we’re going to let you choose who will win. The following categories were carefully selected by a painstakingly arduous process (we threw darts at a cork board), and the nominees were picked based off of Diamond Comic Distributors Top 100 Selling Books of 2009. Take a peek at the following categories below, and like the saintly old knight warned Indy:
“You must choose, but choose wisely.”
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 2009 Meltdown Comic Awards (cue cheesy orchestra music!) And the nominees are:
|
2. Best Series:

3. Hero of the Year:

4. Villain of the Year:

5. Most Horrific Death:

6. Best Return from the Dead:

To have your vote count, post your selections in our comment section following this column. For example: #1.-1; #2.-3; #3.-1; etc. (Even though she’s not nominated, we wouldn’t be surprised if Taylor Swift winds up winning something.) The votes will be added up and the winners announced next week. So, put on your best suit or dress, roll out the red carpet and get ready to be our judges! Oops, there’s the music, we have to hurry this up before I get cut –
