Hey,


I'm just asking some options:

1.) Best storylines in Marvel 2009

2.) Best heroes, groups, villains, books

3.) Breakout characters of 2009

1.) Best storylines in Marvel 2009

Annihilation, Secret Invasion (in that order)

2.) Best heroes, groups, villains, books

Guardians of the Galaxy, Secret Warriors, Thunderbolts

3.) Breakout characters of 2009

Nova

There was no Annihilation book in 2009. Do you mean War of Kings? Also, Secret Invasion was a 2008 storyline. 2009 would be Dark Reign.

I definitely vote War of Kings.

Best heroes are Medusa (is she still a hero?), Cyclops (big win for him), and Daredevil (I always rank him high). Best villains would go to Gladiator (is he a villain?), Norman (overused, but undeniably important), and the Hood (who still dances that fine line of incompitent and a major player; I love watching him in the transition). Best book goes to Uncanny X-men, leading a big mutant comeback.

Breakout character? Tough call; Ronan's recently become a lot more interesting, and Mockingbird is firmly taking her place back.

3.) Breakout characters of 2009

Mockingbird

1.) Best storylines in Marvel 2009- Invincible Iron Man World's Most Wanted

2.) Best heroes, groups, villains, books-Dark Avengers, SPider-Woman


3.) Breakout characters of 2009-Skarr, Iron Patriot,

1.) Best storylines in Marvel 2009

"Utopia" comes in a close 2nd

2.) Best heroes, groups, villains, books

3.) Breakout characters of 2009
Doctor Voodoo

Someone should start a thread like this for DC. I'm just lazy.

1.) Best storylines in Marvel 2009
War of Kings for sure, and I'll echo Worlds Most Wanted.

2.) Best heroes, groups, villains, books
Guardians of the Galaxy was my favorite book this year, and they're also one of the top groups too. Other books that were at the to of my list this year are Secret Warriors, Ultimate Spider-Man (Post-Ultimatum especially), and Invincible Iron Man, with Tony Stark being one of my top heroes for the year (Along with Nick Fury). While I could see it being argued either way, I'd probably put down Norman Osborn as one of the best villains.

On a side note, and even though its not a category here, I'd probably have to say that Incredible Hercules is probably the best book I'm not reading yet from Marvel, given all I've heard about it.

1.) Best storylines in Marvel 2009

War of Kings: Ascension

2.) Best heroes, groups, villains, books

Nova for best hero and best book
Loki for best villain
Asgardians for best group

3.) Breakout characters of 2009

Darkhawk - great revamp of this character to make him interesting and important. I really don't want to see him fade away after this. In many ways he's the anti-Nova Prime, which has loads of potential
