I vote for B'Town because of how she's one of Comicvine's most friendliest Viner's and a great supporter for other users on this site. or I vote for Turoksonofstone because of how he is one Comicviner who is way overdue for his well-deserved spotlight on here.
I second this and these nominations!!! I will write up why I think B'Town is definitely most deserving later, but I can copy and paste why I think Turok is from last week.
As earlier mention, this week I nominate
TUROKSONOFSTONE > - -> Ad Majorem Nosferatu Gloriam. Habeas corpus. Mellita, domi adsum. In caelum cerevisiae est nullum, Itaque hic bibemus illum. Veritas Vos Liberabit! Carpe noctum, Carpe noctum. CV's resident Nosferatu expert, rips the head of Comic Vine wiki points database, leaving a carcass of 107 thousand, 224 hundred points. 107, 224. Thats a bloody massive number. Pages worked on include Jack Kirby, Georges Jeanty, and various more humble comics publishers/companies, including Quality comics, Fox, Gold Key, and Centaur. Turok absolutely mauls with his page on Public Domain Characters, one of the best pages we have at the site. Its a treasure trove of characters and a bloody great resource!
Turok's reviews have semi-coagulated in recent weeks, but I only think that adds to the rich flavor staked into each one, he has 16 in total, but don't expect any mainstream books here kids, Turok can't reflect in a mirror, so he chooses to reflect on smaller, less popular comic titles. Which is awesome. One of the many highlights being the finale to Silkcuts Project 500. A Crisis Review. Actually a lot of Turok's reviews are great, just go to any random one. Like one on Pep Comics which introduces The Shield. Oh, and this one was awesome too!! About Miracle Man. It can be a bit heart staking to see such great reviews go unnoticed by the larger majority, so to shine a non UV light on them would be great. Oh and with Marvel owning Miracle Man now... Lets move onto lists now shall we? The only other lists I have seen as big as Turok's list (418 items) of Godly Comic Book Creators, are usually lists about which Comic Characters are hottest... uhm.. anyway, thats a big list paying tribute to a bunch of creators, but Turok has a list which punctuates the neck of that list before sucking out all its blood in the form of his Public Domain List. 1077, items, 1077 characters. That list is here!
I have not yet even detailed Turok's Blogs yet, but they are as numerous (over twenty pages of them) and as thought proving and as raw as his lists and reviews. Whether it be original content, like this blog on Villain Swaps, talking about Golden Age Revivals, oh and cool, interesting, fascinating topics about Giants? etc even his VS blogs are a class above the norm, check this awesome one out, they highlight Golden Age characters, and are very detailed and expansive, educating people on the characters as well. He has over like 12 of these types of blogs alone, and always quick to be a source of news, and information, help keeping CV users aware with threads like, this one about the massive water reservoir found in space, this one about the Norway attacks, which I have to thank him for, because I try to avoid news generally, but was made aware of this though his blog actually.
So lots of linked reasons as to why he should win, but one of the most important reasons, is that every week, Turok nominates someone and he usually spends time on his nomination, and he has actively campaigned for many, many other people to win, and each week, when someone does win? Turok has always congratulated them. In return? He doesn't ask for anything, nor does he expect anything, in fact he starts nominating a new person, each time, someone he nominates wins. He's a great, and humble person and deserving I feel for this reason as much as any other. Oh, and how could I neglect to mention the Pulp Fiction Thread! Always a valuable contributor, in recent weeks Turok has been the one scouting for images for people to use to make covers for, aiding the very awesome Ms Star! (just check the last page to see some of the amazing covers he has put forward)
Lastly but not least, Turoksonofstone has a very clever and constant theme. Many posters do this, but Turok is one of the best and most consistent!
