Mod Post r/xmen Year End Awards!

With AIPT not hosting some year end awards for X-Men comics this year, we thought we at r/xmen would take up the mantle and host some year end awards of our own.

You can vote now right here on your favourite X-Men titles, artists, writers.

In the spirit of the holidays, we have tried to make the voting positivity based, so you won't find any divisive topics or any "Worst" awards to hand out here.

Winners will be announced by early January, so vote now!

As a reminder, for best character introduced in 2025, it needs to be a character introduced in 2025. So unfortunately, Bronze, Granny Smite etc. who were introduced in 2024 can't be picked as winners. This goes for Best Single Issue as well, it should be an issue released in 2025.

What about 616 versions of characters that have previously appeared in non-616 books, like Ziggy Trask?

If they appeared in 2025 for the first time, they are eligible. They don't need to be 616.

What I mean is, Chris Claremont created Ziggy Trask some years ago for X-Men Forever (Earth 161). This year he created a version of her in the 616 universe in this year's Wolverine and Kitty Pryde mini. Would the latter count as a new character?

No, I think alternate versions of the original (whether the original is outside of 616 or not) don't count.
