I nominate @taxidriver1980 I scrolled through the forum and his name kept popping up. His threads sparked many discussions... some which got a little heated!

I nominate codystarbuck. All of his threads, from the "Make War No More" war comics thread to the recent one on Killraven and War of the Worlds are scholarly in content, but are written in an engaging and lively style. It seems every time I log on, he's started a new thread, and inevitably, it attracts lots of back-and-forth. The real mark of quality on a thread is when it's about something you thought you had mild or no interest in, but immediately proves you wrong. That's the case with all of cody's threads.

I won the professor Xavier last year, so you can just disqualify me. I greatly appreciate the thought, though.

Muchos Nachos and Jalapenos Shaxman! Much appreciate the kind words and glad you (and others I hope) enjoy my questions and discussions. Inquiring minds want and need to know all they can about comic books!

I nominate rberman. Besides his many review threads, he started the Depictions of Faith and Golden Silver, Bronze, Moderns threads. It's good to have a prolific thread starter on this forum.

I'm going to nominate mrp due to him providing historical context to the many topics I've started - and for explaining the business side of comics in a clear, concise and fascinating manner.

I nominate Icctrombone.
His threads on such diverse topics as Mexican Spider-Man comics, the most immitated artist, the most attractive looking character in comics, what do you do for a living, and why everyone loves green space-rabbits (that last one is due to be created anytime soon, trust me) generate lots of good discussion and interesting trivia. I always think, "ooh, this'll be interesting" when I see a new Icctrombone thread.
