BEST NEW (ON-GOING) SERIES:
Winner: The Dregs

BEST ON-GOING SERIES:
Winner: X-O Manowar (2017)

X-O Manowar is the flagship title for Valiant Entertainment. Writer Matt Kindt took the story off-word and in the process created a muti-layer space epic filled with plot twists, complex political realities, and savagely violent warfare. Each compelling chapter was brilliantly rendered by artistic powerhouses such as Tomas Giorello, Doug Brathwaite, Clayton Crain, and Renato Guedes. The result has been one of the strongest and visually stunning comic book experiences in years, averaging critic and reader review scores of 4.5 out of 5.0 stars across the entire series! Artistically magnificent, masterfully written, and consistently remarkable, X-O Manowar enters 2018 with the promise of continued comic book excellence!
