COMICS!!! |OT| Comic of the Year 2020 update!
PART 1 - Comic of the Year Nominees Open
Alright, so interest in the "more thorough" Comic of the Year awards doesn't seem to have panned out. Big thanks to folk who wrote down their names, but plans will be going on the back burner for this year, at least. Check out PART 2 for something interesting instead. As for the community COTY awards, later this year we'll be going forward with the same style of award thing as we did last year where everyone in the thread participates.
That said, I still want to provide those who are interested the opportunity to read through as many COTY nominations as possible and to encourage readers here to check out comics they may otherwise have passed by. As such, we're opening Comic of the Year 2020 nominations up early.
Everyone who wants to participate in this year's Comic of the Year process just needs to enter their ResetEra username on the following spreadsheet, followed by up to 10 nominees. These nominees are your official nominations but are -not final- and probably won't be until December at the earliest. They can continue to be changed until then.
Please use your nominations as freely as you'd like. This "round" of nominations won't take into account any nominee's total nominations -- that comes later. It's just a list of books that have been nominated. So feel free to add books you'd like others to check, whether it's that random indie that no one else is going to mention or Immortal Hulk.
Nomination rules:
*Must have been released, either partially or wholly, in 2020. In the case of ongoings, the content released in 2020 is what's being nominated.
*Comic books, manga, graphic novels, online comics are all acceptable.
*No collections, other than specific cases (first-time localizations, extreme availability issues). --Tag and ask for any questions.

PART 2 - Community Award
Rather than do a separate COTY award, let's just do an optional thing that's complementary with the awards process that everyone will be a part of. This is an award given to a community member or members for going beyond simple participation in voting. Basically, the entire goal of the awards process is about encouraging members to read comics, encouraging members to discuss comics, and to create conversations. So let's reward those that do that. Feel free to start
Here's how it works
1. Read a comic from someone else's 10 nominations. Any comic will do -- you might even have read it already!
2. Write a 100+ word writeup of your thoughts for the comics here.
3. Keep a list of your nominee reviews, each with a tag to the person who nominated that book.
Example:
"Hey, I just finished reading Rorschach and it's the best thing since Tom Kong wrote Heroes in Crisis. Etc. Etc...
1. Harley Quinn - Messi
2. Harleen - Messi
3. Harley Quinn Breaking Glass - Messi
4. Rorschach - Messi
At the end of our awards, we'll give our award to either the #1 or top 5 of the list. Poodlestrike has even said that they'll be willing to do tags for the winner/s. "Comic Council 2020" maybe. If that doesn't work out, I'll send the winner a comic book or something! Still finalizing the details.
