Winners Of The Week
The comics named as best of the year by various critics and reviewers.

Loser Of The Week
Marvel, perhaps. Although it's sort of a "you may not rule the universe as much as everyone thinks you're going to rule the universe and deep down if we haven't said so in a while we do still love you for what you are" critique, as it's coming from Motley Fool, Chester the Terrier to Marvel's Spike the Bulldog, people paid attention.

Quote Of The Week
"Comics are a medium, not a fad. Fads die. Mediums rarely do." -- Chicago Comics Manager Eric Thornton.
