Poll Comic Book Question of the Week: What Are You Thankful for This Year? (214 votes)

A specific comic book series 38%
A specific creative team 7%
A specific comic book movie or TV show 23%
A specific comic book video game 6%
A specific character's role 3%
A specific big event 8%
A favorite character not getting killed 4%
A specific comic book collectible (figure, statue, etc) 2%
A specific cosplay 0%
A specific publisher 9%

It's time for Thanksgiving here in North America and, when we take a moment from stuffing our bellies with massive amounts of food, we're supposed to reflect and let everyone know what we're grateful for. So, we thought it would be fitting to apply the same mentality to the question of the week. But, instead of pondering about your life in general, let's narrow it down and focus on the one thing we all love here: comic books. And if you don't love 'em, what are you doing here?

Seeing as we can't read minds (...or can we?), making a poll with specific options would be pretty much impossible. Because of that, the poll has vague categories and we encourage you to specify in the comments after you cast your vote. If you're thankful for a certain creative team, tell us who was on it and why you're happy about it. Or, did you love a specific movie, show, figure or video game? Once again, don't be shy and tell us below. There was a lot to love this year, so make sure to really think about it before voting.

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. Make it awesome enough and we just may highlight it if it's about the poll's winning option! Check the homepage Thursday to see the results and more!

DANGIT! I meant to click a specific series but I hit specific publisher before I hit submit. I am thankful for Image, however. I've started to tire of superheroes. It's the same thing over and over again so Image has provided something new for me. What I was going to actually say was a specific series which would be "The Sandman: Overture" This got me interested in Dream and I now have bought 6 of the trades and it only came out last month! I love that book and I am thankful to Neil Gaiman for the awesome and revolutionary idea that he had.

I picked a comic book series (with Hawkeye, Thor, Adventures of Superman and the upcoming Harley Quinn in mind) but what I'm really thankful for is that I'm alive.

I think I am most thankful for discovering this site. I was a lonely teenager in the suburbs of Los Angeles with no one to discuss all the cool stuff that goes on around us and i found this site which is probably the greatest thing ever. I have not officially met but talked to people from pretty much everywhere and get to interact with people who share similar interests.

I am thankful for all fifty-two 'Villains Month' comics that entertained me this September, which I spent over $500 on ^_^

Sincerely,

I really liked Battle of the Atom. first thing that pops into my head, probably because I just read it. I'm thankful for All-new X-men in general. It's been a fun series so far.

On the phone, so can't elaborate ultra-much, but I think I'm grateful for comics in general. I was out of it, I was out of a lot of things.. Then I got into D&D, and had a hankering for good art and fun stories, which led me to comics. Which led me to Demon Knights, and me getting a pull list. It's not large, Demon Knights got canceled, but I found a comic store and I'm finding comics I like and classics I missed and I can walk around my sorta local comic store and feel like I know my way. So I guess that's what I'm thankful for. So thanks Demon Knights, you were utterly excellent

Edit: Oh, and this site, for helping me get into comics in a big way!

I am thankful for my Sideshow Batman Life size bust in black and grey. I was hesitant to spend nearly 600€ for a collectible, but now having it on my shelf... So worth it.

Also Man of Steel, since it really is the Superman movie I have always wanted.

I'm thankful for a Marvel event that finally hits all the right notes with Infinity, and for Charles Soule taking over Thunderbolts.

I'm thankful I had the pleasure of reading SCARLET SPIDER this year before it finally punches the ticket :(

I'd be more thankful it it wasn't cancelled though.

I'm thankful for.... Rocket Racoon, Yondu, Antman and Wasp, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch, Falcon, Ultron, Winter Solider, Gamora, Star-Lord, The Collector, The Infinity Gauntlet story arch, Groot, Drax, and the android that is now Coulson being weaponized by Ultron in A2 and becoming the Vision, and IM becoming Exstrimis enhanced in A2 after relizing that even Jarvis, after becoming Ultron cant be trusted with his tech and puts the control center of his new tech in his brain so Ultron cant use it.

Thank you Marvel for the MCU and making all my child hood dreams come true.

Sorry about the A2 spoilers. Peace ni66as!
