Poll Comic Book Question of the Week VOTING: Favorite Event in 2013 (360 votes)

Marvel's Age of Ultron 1%
X-Men's Battle of the Atom 4%
Ultimates' Catacylsm 1%
TMNT's City Fall 9%
Batman's Death of the Family 14%
DC's Forever Evil 19%
Valiant's Harbinger Wars 3%
Marvel's Infinity 18%
Deadpool's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 4%
DC's Trinity War 7%
DC's Villains Month 2%
Green Lantern's Wrath of the First Lantern 2%
Batman's Year Zero 12%
Other (Specify Below) 3%

2014 is just about here, so we thought now would be the perfect time to reflect on this year's most epic events in comics. The Big Two both hit us with quite a few massive stories, but there was also plenty to enjoy with key characters and a couple other publishers, too. We've filled the poll with 13 memorable stories (plus an "other" option) from 2013 and now it's up to you to select your favorite one. After you vote, go ahead and tell us why the storyline earned your love and support. Voting is open for two days, so you have plenty of time to think it through before making your pick.

Will one of these big events earn your vote or did another win you over?

The poll will remain open until Thursday morning (ET). Once it's locked, a new article will go live with the results and more. If you want to go the extra mile, go ahead and get your elaboration on. What exactly is it about the plot that made you appreciate it so much? If your post is awesome enough and about the poll's winning option, we just may highlight it in the updated feature. Check the homepage Thursday to see the results and more!

In the meantime, hope you all have a happy New Year, Viners!

Year Zero could conceivably win for 2013 and 2014 if it concludes awesomely.

My top 3 are Villains month, Forever Evil, and Death of the Family. Personally, Villains month so far has beat Forever Evil, but that could change in the end. But Death of the Family to me takes the cake. 2nd best Joker story ever, behind Killing Joke. Age of Ultron though... seriously people? Why would you ever!

How does Deadpool: The Good, the bad, and the Ugly count as an event? It was just a story arc.

Valiant's Harbinger Wars was easily the best event of the year. It won't get past 10 votes, sadly.

Harbinger Wars gets my vote. I thought Infinity was going to surpass it but the excessive dues ex machina to resolve conflicts keeps it just below the first Valiant event in my book.

I love that HW didn't follow the traditional formula of a group fighting each other until they unite against a common enemy. It was three factions against each other the whole way through. It also didn't wrap up with a nice bow like a lot of stories which was also refreshing to see. Very pleased with what I saw from Valiant last year.

Voted Harbinger Wars because it's the only one I read, and hardly, since the only book involving it that I read was Bloodshot. Nevertheless, it was awesome. Bloodshot kicked serious rear end in it.

Definitely has to be Death of the Family, I remember the Wednesday that DotF's Batman #17 came out, I bought a digital copy (my first ever digital comic, because I usually get floppies). My friend (who reads my comics) and I spent a good few weeks debating and arguing how that ending came out.

While we read #17, when we hit THAT page with the big reveal, we flipped.

Needless to say, I voted for Battle of the Atom (lol jokes, obviously DotF).

City Fall for me, by a long way. Whilst infinity was generally good, I didn't keep trying to turn the next page, and realise that there was just the back cover... All New Avengers was the stand out book, but most others didn't matter to me too much. City Fall was exciting and surprising, and that was just dark Leonardo! The less said about Age of Ultron the better... but we did get a Doombot out of it though!

I chose Trinity War because it is one of my favorite events. However, I think I would have enjoyed it more if DC kept the crime syndicate a secret.

Voted Batman DOTF, mainly because it was featuring the Joker AND it was really well conceived.

Trinity War, Forever Evil etc... don't really intrigue me...

The closest I came to reading any of these was through New Avengers but I departed just as it began. I'm suprised about just how many events there actually were though.

Didn't like what Forever Evil did to one of my favorite characters (Nightwing)

Although Forever Evil isn't over yet so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt

Come to think of it, I'll add Death of the Family along with Trinity War as my favourite events of 2013, don't see the hate behind Death of the Family, thought it was very well written and did a great service to the Joker.

Age of Ultron slam dunks the rest of the other events for worst event of the year.

I went with Infinity, but yes Harbringer Wars and City Fall do deserve huge credits as well.

Since I have read to few of this years event I will not vote.

I am picking Age of Ultron because it's actually the only event I've read this year. With the exception of all the time travel mumbo-jumbo and half of the story not involving battles with Ultron it was pretty good.

Maybe you shouldn't vote then? If you haven't read at least a good part of the stories it seems weird to vote.

Geez...this was tough. I like a lot of events this year, except for Age of Ultron.

But, ultimately it came down to two, Infinity and Harbinger Wars. I went with Infinity simply because I am more connected to those characters than the Valiant dudes. But Harbinger Wars is a damn good story.

You could argue that Harbringer wars a better story then since it needed more to impress you with (In your opinion) less interesting characters.
