(The answers may surprise you!)
Make your guesses in the comments section of this blog post; I'll pick some respondents at random to receive prizes (e.g. comics!) Let's set the deadline to be Wednesday (Jan 5) at Noon EST. (Please leave some way for me to get in touch with you, like your email or your Website/blog/etc.)
BTW, while the top item is included in the lists for each category, don't assume that the rest of the pick represent all of the top choices. E.g., don't assume because a DC graphic novel isn't listed in the choices for top graphic novel that it isn't the top DC graphic novel. (Did that make sense? I hope so...)
