Dirk Daring #6

It’s a Dirk Daring New Year’s Eve!

We’re ending the year with the First Annual Ret-Conned Comic Awards.

Best Ongoing

  • Batgirl
  • Red Robin
  • Power Girl

We’ve raved about these series so much all year, this shouldn’t be a surprise.

Best Mini

  • Generation Lost -Before they started, we figured Brightest Day would win this, but Gen Lost definitely beat it.

Best Arc

  • Kyle vs. Weaponer, Green Lantern Corps - Kris
  • Cat in the Cradle, Secret Six - Travis

Best Writer

  • Judd Winick - Writer of one of our best series and the best mini.

Best Artist

  • Francis Manapul - Flash is the most gorgeous book put right now.

Best One Shot

  • Teen Titans Cold Case

Best Character

  • Stephanie Brown

Break Out Book

  • Action Comics - Not sure anybody saw how great this comic would be, we sure didn’t.

Biggest Let Down

  • Paul Dini - We love his work, but his abandonment of comics thi syear has been really disappointing.
  • JMS leaving Wonder Woman & Superman - He took both of these books in very new directions. Hopeful the new writers will be able to keep it up.

Best Use of a Banana Peel

  • Joker/Grant Morrison - We’ve had a love/hate relationship with Batman & Robin all year, but this scene redeemed the book.

Worst Comic Cover

  • Justice League Generation Lost #1 - This cover was the main reason we thought this book was going to suck. It’s that bad.
