Comic Vine Votes! - Best of the Month (JAN 2012)

It's that time again for another Comic Vine Votes!

BASIC RULES:

1. Using the Voting Ballot below, cast your votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in each category.
2. Write your votes in this format next to each ranking: [Title] [Issue Number]. For example: Justice League #1.
3. Post your votes in the comments below.
4. Votes can only be cast on books that have come out this month (January 2012).
5. Please cast votes on books you've read.
6. If you don't want to or can't cast a particular vote, just leave it blank.
7. You may change or edit your votes any time you'd like up until the end of voting (12:00 AM Monday February 5th PST)

FURTHER RULES:

1. For Favorite Male and Female characters, please write your votes in this format: [Character] [(Full Name)] - [Title] [Issue Number]. For example: Batman (Bruce Wayne) - Detective Comics #1.
2. You may vote for the same Favorite Male and Female character twice (or more) in so long as each vote is for a different appearance in a different issue.
3. For Favorite Marvel and DC comics, please vote for only mainstream Marvel and DC comics. Vertigo and other imprints should be voted for in the Favorite Non-Marvel or DC Comic section.
4. Most Underrated Comic applies to every publishing company.
5. Hero = Protagonist or Lead Character and Villain = Antagonist or Adversary. So Deathstroke can be considered a Hero or a Protagonist in his own book. And If Batman fought against him, only in that case will he be considered the Villain or Antagonist.
6. It's important to list a character with a SINGLE issue because all votes for a character contribute to The Best Comic of the Month!

How the poll will be graded:

1st place votes are given 3pts

2nd place votes are given 2pts

3rd place votes are given 1 pt

Voting will end By 12:00 AM Monday February 5th PST, after which I will tally up all the votes and post the results for the Top 5 winners in each category. The comic that receives the most votes in total will be declared The Best Comic of The Month!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)

Oh, I'm fine. I'm half-way done with it, I just had to put it on hiatus this week because of exams. :) I'll probably have it up in a day or two. :)

@Deranged Midget:

I'm sorry to say that the competition is over. But, please re-post for this month's competition later. :)
