On Friday, after we unveiled our choices, we asked you to vote for the Best Ongoing Series for 2018. With 139 votes cast, here is how the voting broke down for the 11 options:
1. “Black Hammer”
2. “The Immortal Hulk”
3. “Justice League”
4. “Saga”
5. “The Wild Storm”
6. “Giant Days”
7. “Paper Girls” (tie)
8. “Monstress”
9. “Deathstroke”
10. “Sleepless”
11. “Royal City”
In contrast, here’s a reminder of how the staff voted:
1. “The Immortal Hulk”
2. “Giant Days”
3. “Black Hammer”
4. “Justice League”
5. “The Wild Storm”
6. “Saga”
7. “Royal City”
8. “Deathstroke”
9. “Monstress”
10. “Sleepless” (tie)
10. “Paper Girls” (tie)
For the second year in a row, our readership picked “Black Hammer” for their top pick. To be fair, this just edged out “The Immortal Hulk,” which placed exactly one vote behind for second place. Between our staff and our readers being so into that title, I (Brian) really need to invest some time in it in 2019.
It’s a little funny how our readers pushed “Black Hammer,” a Jeff Lemire joint, to the top of tour list, but dropped “Royal City,” an even more Lemire joint, to the bottom of the list. Sorry Jeff!
