Just started listening, but I assume there will be a master list posted?

There will be, @DAR! Expect the master list to be posted on the main forum in two days or so by @Adam_Murdough.

DAR

Thank you sir.

Another thing to add. I didn't submit a list because I thought I didn't read as much from the year to warrant enough nominations. But then l'm about 1:40 into the episode and so far I read more than I thought.

TLDR: I have to keep better track of things

BREAKTHROUGH TALENT OF 2018: Kelly Thompson

I am very happy to know that Doctor Star & The Kingdom of the Lost Tomorrows is on the ballot. I recently became a father, so the emotional impact probably hit me harder than it would have in previous years. I certainly found myself thinking back on that Lemire mini-series much more than anything else I read in 2018.

I just finished the episode and wanted to say thank you to @Adam_Murdough for making sure Gideon Falls got in there somewhere. Otherwise I would have lost my faith in the lot of you (kidding) (kind of).

I am disappointed that Highest House didn’t get any love, it was really spectacular.

You and me both. I saw enough responses in the forums that I had a small bit of hope it would make the ballot somehow, but I wasn’t exactly holding my breath either.
