I'll nominate MWGallaher. His insights are always particularly thoughtful and well-expressed. His exposé on Charles Reinsel in the Spectre thread was extraordinary and a testament to his skills as a researcher. There are a few posters here who teach me something with virtually every post and MWG is one of those.

For the second year in a row, I'll nominate Rob Allen, who brings a deep understanding of creators and the industry to the table on a regular basis. His extensive involvement with both the GCD and Roy Thomas only further enrich the wealth of knowledge he brings to this community.

I nominate MDG. He looks at things with the eyes of both an artist and a historian. He knows a lot obviously but he doesn't have a brash in-your-face style, he just comes in and makes observations that are so perfect you think "Yeah, that's what I meant!" A couple of examples: when he characterized Curt Swan's art as "idealized realism." Or "For some reason, Elias Black Cat art of that period connects with me more than any Atom Age hero work (excepting Eisner's postwar Spirit.)" As you can tell, I have jotted down many of his observations. I'm hard to impress, but I always learn something new and valuable from his posts. And he's succinct. His posts don't meander, they are always right on the money without being dry. They're not only informational but they're well-written, a pleasure to read.
