I'm not going to go through them all because I'm not familiar with all the material, but here's a few picks:

 

Best Serialized Story

Daredevil #32-37: "Out," by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev (Marvel)

 

Best New Series

Y: The Last Man. by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, and Jose Marzan (Vertigo/DC)

 

Best Writer

Brian Michael Bendis, Powers (Image); Alias, Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man (Marvel)

 

Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team

Brian Hitch/Andrew Currie, The Ultimates (Marvel)

 

Best Cover Artist

Kaare Andrews, Incredible Hulk (Marvel)

 

 

The one I feel most strongly about is Kaere Andrews, I would love to see him win the best cover artist award. He has come up with some truly original and captivating covers on the Hulk. Contributing to making it the most improved book over the last 18 months or so.
