Weekly Awards For The Comic Books From June 18, 2008

The Followers of The Revolution voted for Wolverine #66 to receive The Che this week. This vote really was just a two horse race between Wolverine #66 and Guardians of the Galaxy #2. The results for best read of the week were as follows:

Wolverine #66: 27% (18 votes)
Guardians of the Galaxy #2: 21% (14 votes)
Superman/Batman #49: 9% (6 votes)
Justice League of America #22: 7% (5 votes)
Flash #241: 6% (4 votes)
Iron Man: Director of SHIELD #30: 4% (3 votes)
Brave and the Bold #14: 4% (3 votes)
Ghost Rider #24: 3 % (2 votes)
Amazing Spider-Man #563: 3% (2 votes)
Tangent: Superman’s Reign #4: 3% (2 votes)
Ultimate X-Men #95: 4% (3 votes)
Trinity #3: 3% (2 votes)
Batman and the Outsiders #8: 1% (1 vote)
X-Factor #32: 1% (1 vote)

The Followers of The Revolution voted for Amazing Spider-Man #563 to win the Sequential Methadone Award of the week. This was not even close as Amazing Spider-Man #563 just ran away with this dubious honor. What was surprising is that the winner of the poll for the best comic book of the week came in second place in the poll for the worst read of the week. Clearly, Wolverine #66 is a love it or hate it kind of issue.

Amazing Spider-Man #563: 33% (15 votes)
Wolverine #66: 15% (7 votes)
Flash #241: 8% (4 votes)
Trinity #3: 8% (4 votes)
Iron Man: Director of SHIELD #30: 8% (4 votes)
Batman and the Outsiders #8: 6% (3 votes)
Justice League of America #22: 4% (2 votes)
Brave and the Bold #14: 2% (1 vote)
Ghost Rider #24: 2% (1 vote)
Guardians of the Galaxy #2: 2% (1 vote)
Superman/Batman #49: 2% (1 vote)
Tangent: Superman’s Reign #4: 2% (1 vote)
Ultimate X-Men #95: 0% (0 votes)
X-Factor #32: 2% (1 vote)

All right, let’s go ahead and dish out The Revolution’s weekly awards.
The nominees for the Che for the best read of the week:

Guardians of the Galaxy #2
Superman/Batman #49
Wolverine #66

The Winner: Superman/Batman #49

I broke with the Followers of The Revolution with the winner of the Che for this week. This was a tough choice. I gave positive reviews for each of these three titles. In the end, Superman/Batman #49 simply offered up a more balanced read that delivered a much more dramatic ending than the other two nominees.

And now the nominees for the Sequential Methadone Award for the worst read of the week:

Amazing Spider-Man #563
Trinity #3

The Winner: Amazing Spider-Man #563

I was not that impressed with Trinity #3, however, Amazing Spider-Man #563 was just putrid. In the end, it was no contest. I had to agree with the Followers of The Revolution and award Amazing Spider-Man #563 the Sequential Methadone Award of the week. At this point, Amazing Spider-Man may have edged out both New Avengers and Countdown for the dubious distinction of having won the most Sequential Methadone Awards.

So congrats to Superman/Batman #49 for winning the Che for the week and congrats to Amazing Spider-Man #563 for winning the Sequential Methadone Award for the week.
