Also, to insure a REALLY good argument, I will include my flame vote for the WORST in your categories. Onward: BEST TITLE:Fantastic Four, Thor, Alpha Flight BEST PENCILLER(sp?):John Byrne, Paul Smith, Walt Simonson BEST INKER:Terry Austin (forget the rest) BEST WRITER:Frank Miller, Howard Chaykin, Chris Claremont BEST GROUP:X-Men, Alpha Flight, Fantastic Four BEST MALE CHARACTER:Domenic Fortune (gone, but not forgotten) BEST FEMALE CHARACTER:Starfire And now (heh, heh) for the flames: Worst title:New Mutants (Does anyone really care about Chris Claremont`s adolescent charges?) Worst penciller(at least I`m consistent:Sal Buscema (Sal`s range of artistic talents could fill a book slightly smaller than one of intelligent comments by our dear Prez.) Worst inker:Mike Esposito and Jim Mooney. Two oldies but baddies. Worst writer:Chris Claremont. I have to give Chris this for his X-Babies and the space opera in the X-Men. Worst group:the Outsiders Worst male character:Peter Parker (not Spider-Man!). Old, neurotic Pete has never had one tenth the personality of JJJ. Worst female character:The Winsome(?) Wasp. To quote Elmer Fudd, "Wediculous." There you go. Have fun folks. Prepare to repel flames! Nigel the Voluminous
