1ST PLACE WINNER:
Batman #29; written by Scott Snyder; pencils by Greg Capullo ; colors by FCO Plascencia; published by DC Comics (20 points)

2ND PLACE FINISHER:
Moon Knight #1; written by Warren Ellis; pencils by Declan Shalvey; colors by Jordie Bellaire; published by Marvel Comics (19 points)

3RD PLACE FINISHER:
Deadly Class #3; written by Rick Remender; pencils by Wes Craig; colors by Lee Loughridge; published by Image Comics (18 points)

Here's How It Works
In the last week of the month (or earlier, if you're confident about your choices), any GAF member can send me a private message with their personal picks for the three best single issues released that month, from any publisher. These picks should be arranged in order of rank -- first, second, and third place -- and each ranking will be worth a specific point value. A first place ranking for a comic is worth 5 points; a second place is worth 3 points; a third place, 2 points. Then before next month's COMICS! OT goes live, I'll tally the results and point values from each ballot, and post the top three overall winners in the next OP as last month's, GAF-approved, best of the best. Then, maybe at the end of the year, we'll have a showdown between the year's top finishers or something similar.

A Sample Ballot
This is an example of how a sample ballot submitted by you might look. You don't have to use this formatting but I do ask that, however you send it to me, you are CLEAR on which comics you are voting for and in what order they are ranked.

Average GAF Member said:
1st Place: "Super-Fun Team Adventures" #14 (Mystery Comics; story by Jack Johnson, art by John Jackson) [worth 5 points.]
2nd Place: "Children's Bedtime Stories, Only With Nudity and Cursing" #69 (Happy Puppy Publishing; story by Jane Doe, art by John Doelner) [worth 3 points.]
3rd Place: "Grimdark, Extreme, and McDarkerson" #474 (Amazing Comics; story & art by Smitty Smithengen) [worth 2 points.]

The Voting Rules
1. Only single issues released that month are to be considered for voting; no trade collections, and no "just caught up" considerations for issues released one/two/however many months ago. Sorry if this excludes you from the voting process, trade-only readers and mail-order folk. I didn't see any other way.
2. Each GAF member is allowed one ballot, and once that ballot has been cast you are done for the month. If an issue comes out and you think it's the best comic you've ever read or will ever read, but you already cast your vote the week before, that's too bad. In other words, there are no take-backs so VOTE THOUGHTFULLY.
3. Three comics per ballot, and no more. You could send me a list of the ten best comics that month, with full paragraph summaries on why you ranked them in what order; but in the end, I'm only going to tally points for the top three and ignore the rest. You CAN pick just one book as the best that month... but that one vote is still worth only 5 points.
4. No ties on the ballots, please. You have to pick three comics as the best that month, and you have to rank them "1st, 2nd, 3rd" so that I can assign points to each. If you're torn between two issues of two different series as the best that month, and you can't decide which one you loved more than the other, TRY.
5. To make things a bit easier on me when it comes to making the OP, I'm establishing a deadline for casting ballots of 6pm Eastern Standard Time on the last day of the month. You can cast your ballot at any time during the month that you wish; however once that deadline has passed, any ballots sent to me will be ignored.
6. Again, to make things easier I would prefer that your votes be cast via private message sent to me, rather than through an open post in the OT. In addition to keeping the voting process a secret, using the PM method means I won't have to search through thread pages for someone's vote posted as an afterthought to an unrelated discussion.

Failure to comply with any of the above rules MAY result in your ballot getting thrown out.

Other rules and stipulations may follow, but for now we'll roll with these for the first round and see how it goes. Have fun voting!

Spoilers. In the age of digital comics, they are increasingly becoming an issue in these threads, as the drive to be first to discuss the week's releases overrides common sense and good posting etiquette. So over the coming weeks and months, the members of Comic GAF will be collaborating on and will eventually be implementing a system of general rules for avoiding spoilers on new comics in the Comics OT thread. But for now, please abide by the temporary guidelines outlined below. And remember, you are being watched and judged by your peers.

1. Discussion of newly released comics that involves specific plot details shall be accompanied at all times by the appropriate use of the
tag function.
2. Direct posting of full-page images from newly released comics using the tags is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
3. Direct posting of images or spoilers from comics that have yet to be released is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
4. Covers, solicitation copy, and/or promotional materials shall not be considered spoilers and are allowed, unless their content involves specific plot details; in those cases, outgoing links with spoiler warnings should be used.
5. The unmarked posting of spoilers related to comics will be allowed after a period of one week (Wednesday to Wednesday) from that comic's release.[/b] ([u]NOTE:[/u] Longer? -Spike)
[b]6. Members of Comic GAF are expected at all times to exercise common sense and polite discretion as a matter of courtesy to fellow posters. I know, tough one.
7. If you are unsure of whether or not posting something would constitute a spoiler, err on the side of caution and use the [SPOILER] tags.[/b]

In short, don't be Stephanie Brown. Don't be... The Spoiler. For one thing, [b]you're[/b] not that loveable. >:|

Happy reading!

April Fool's! >:p
 
Caliban sounds really awesome. Rebel Heist, Flash Gordon, Lumberjanes, Grindhouse, Iron Fist, and Solar Man of the Atom all intrigue me, and Amazing Spider-Man is a must read.
 

suffah

Does maths and stuff
Month looks super solid. Lost all interest in Inhumans at this point.

Umbra worth checking out?

None of my picks made it :( I think we're going to start seeing a pattern and the picks are
going to be more predictable.

Oh, and no I didn't vote Harley or Catwoman lol
 
Batman deserved it, best book last month by far.

I know it did, I voted for it and Moon Knight and if I voted with a sound mind, Deadly Class would have been my third but I voted for a character and not a book. Something I'm trying to free myself from.

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Looking forward a lot of things this month, in particular Invincible, Hawkguy, Starlight, Lumberjanes and Flash Gordon.

The thread title made me think that someone might end up doing a full series review (book by book) of Tarot.
 
Fuck yeah, Ultimates! Lumberjanes! Shotgun Wedding! Nightcrawler! it's a good comics month.

I didn't vote (again). i knew The Auteur wouldn't win so what's the fuckin point
 
You guys really should vote. Batman won with 20 points. That's four first place votes. Hardly insurmountable. Anyways, my list was:

Superman / Wonder Woman #6
Action Comics #29
Harley Quinn #4

Superman is in a great place right now (Outside of the main title).

Pizza Dog
That Amazing Spider-Man cover is sublime. Love it.

Couple of new books coming out this month I'm pretty interested in, will have to make room in my pulls. Having said that, list time!

Books of the week:
Black Science #5
The Punisher #4
Revival #19
She-Hulk #3

The rest:
Black Widow #5
Grindhouse Doors Open At Midnight #7
Magneto #2
Moon Knight #2

Magneto and Moon Knight were interesting enough for me to give them both a second shot. Loving She-Hulk and Punisher at the moment especially. Glad there's not as many on my list this week as there were last week though, my bank account took quite the hit, haha.
 
EDIT: Am I breaking the rules by summarising the sales? I'll edit this post to remove that information if so. Otherwise, I was thinking that a weekly post in this format could be useful. We could give recommendations and suggestions each week.

This week's new sales have begun.

Aquaman/Geoff Johns sale:
Adventure Comics (1-6)
Aquaman (1-25 + Annual)
Booster Gold (1-6)
Brightest Day (0-24)
Flashpoint (1-5)
Hawkman (1-12)
JSA (6-15)
JSA: Classified (1-4)
Justice League (15-17)
Superman: Secret Origin (1-6)
Teen Titans (1-6)
The Flash (164-174)

Ultimate Spider-Man sale:
Cataclysm: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (1-3)
Ultimate Six (1-7)
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (1-26)
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol 2 (Miles Morales) (1-29)
Ultimate Spider-Man (1-133)
Ultimatum: Spider-Man Requiem (1-2)

There's also a complete bundle for $99.99.
Totally grabbing Geoff Johns' complete Aquaman. I have the first volume in hardcover format, but it's easier for me to read digitally. I'm not going to buy in to Ultimate Spider-Man at the bundle/complete price, but if I wanted to dip my toes into the water, where should I start?

Things I couldn't reply to in the last thread.

This would be a very wise decision

It will be months until my next comic purchases but I'll add it to my wish list, along with the new Lucifer books and the Uncanny X-Force Omnibus.

YES for god's sake buy Hitman! It's one of the best comics ever made, period. Garth Ennis' true masterpiece.

I wasn't sure before if I should go for Preacher or Hitman but I know now.

Also, Kyle Raynor is the hero we deserve.

Kyle has been great in JLA and One Million. One of the shining examples of how great a GL can be.

is the One Million TPB a good read in itself? I have that on my backlog shelf. "the JLA: ONE MILLION collection reprints issues #1-4 of the popular DC ONE MILLION miniseries. Also included are the #1,000,000th issues of JLA and STARMAN in their entirety, along with portions of the tie-in issues of DETECTIVE COMICS, GREEN LANTERN, SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF TOMORROW, and RESURRECTION MAN."

I think it will still be a good read, but I feel that the cross-over comics did a lot of world building and the story won't feel as complete without them.
 
If we were voting based on cover and paper quality, Deadly Class wouldn't make that list. I have real issues with Images' paper stock. Sometimes it feels like something printed locally at a Kinkos.

I swear, I dunno why I even vote anymore.

Because I have the first Manhatten Projects trade in my IST cart.
 

Filthy Slug

Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Not a bad list despite the lack of Ales Kot.
 
So excited for Batman Eternal. Curious about Aquaman and the Others as well as the new Detective run.

I think I might try Nightcrawler in place of Amazing X-Men.

Marvel people: Is anyone in the MU going after Cyclops still for the whole murder / world domination thing? Or has that just been white washed away?
 
Part of the draw for me about comics is something real fundamental: I love the notion of justice and good winning in the end. I'm not against characters that are more in the middle or even bad guys, but in the end the bad guys need to lose and the morally grey need to do the right thing. So stuff like the current Cyclops arc just bothers me because it doesn't seem like "Justice" is going to be served. People are just going to ignore him murdering and forcing his will on the world. I had the same problem with Iron Man in Civil War and Zatanna and those who voted for the Mind Wipe in Identity Crisis.

Maybe it's old fashioned of me and edgey unresolved bullshit is just the current fad.
