curious, though you don't state it, the presence of Best Non-DC or Marvel implicates your asking for the other categories be filled in with exclusively DC and/or Marvel choices, yes/no?

Oh, other categories can be filled in with whatever comic book from whatever company you'd like, in so long as it came out in September 2011. :) The "Non-DC or Marvel" category was put there to show-case books from other companies that might be over-looked. :)

Let you know after I finish today's batch.

I hope you're okay with me splitting out the single stories in 2000AD like that.

I wanted to say, I have every intention of playing but still have a stack here from this month I haven't finished reading and my pulls from this past Wednesday have not yet arrived, I am a little concerned they won't arrive in time, if that is the case I will go ahead and make my list with what books I have read come closing time. :D

@Hawkeye446: Unfortunately voting ended 3 hours ago and I've already posted results. ...But you know what, I think I'll push back the time to 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. :) (It's only fair to West Coasters, really, who might need those extra hours to catch up on reading.)

I live in Australia... South Coast :D Haha, I assumed it hadn't ended, oh well :)

@Hawkeye446: haha! well, maybe I'll rethink the way I do time next competition, for non-U. S./Western Hemisphere comic viners, but for now (since I'm just trying to figure out the best way of running this thing) your vote is in. :)

The time restraints were fine, I just didn't see the thread 'til I went on your profile :)

THANKS! :D Give Uncanny X-Force a Little Love :)
