Here is a list of nominees for this year's Gylph Awards (honoring excellence in black comics).
In addition, here is where you can vote for the Fan Award for Best Comic of the year.
I dig the Glyph Awards. I should be a judge for 2010's competition!
The Comic Buyers Guide Fan Awards are also up!
Here is a list of nominees.
And here is where you can vote for the winners! The CBG Fan Awards are the longest-running comic book fan awards that I can think of - so please support it!

The selection for that Comic Buyers Guide award was really dreadful.
For most of those questions I was like "None of them!"

Yeah, I was initially ready to vote for CBG, but there really wasn't much reflective of my actual tastes in there, so I decided to abstain.

Man, I was thinking the same thing. I like some of the stuff, but none of it would be even close to my favorite of the year, except maybe Captain America for best series. I love George Perez and Sergio Aragones art, but have they really done anything this past year? And who the hell is Derf? Seems like it must be a pretty specific group of fans that did the nominations for those awards.

I don't understand those CBG nominations. Bad choices, indeed.

[...] So, after reading through the CBG Awards Ballot, I had the same reaction as commenter jazzbo* did in Cronin’s post linking to them: [...]

The nomination process must be rigged. It's the only answer.

It was fan voted nominations, as well. Of course, what I DON'T know is how many people voted on the nominations. It could be few enough that, like, a few dozen Derf fans could affect things.

And I'm pretty sure the Sinestro Corps War shipped entirely in 2007, so it shouldn't even be eligible for this list. Weird choices.
