The gods have spoken (wait, is Telos even a God? Space Janitor?) I think it’s really we the community who have spoken. Anyway, the results are in!
Another year has passed (good riddance), and as we barrel towards the shitshow that will be 2026 (and holy hell, already 2026? Really? Not even a full week in?), let’s honor the best (and worst) moments of this subreddit.
The Fourth Jonkler Award for funniest subreddit post goes to…
Lex Luthor still stealing them 40 pies, even in the big ’25
As submitted by /u/SHAZAMS_STRONGEST! You’d think with fictional Lex Luthors only getting richer with time (even after adjusting for pie-based inflation) that they’d have enough, yet apparently the resource hoarding of the billionaire class knows no limits. Well, thank God CorenSupes is on the case!
For the funniest running gag, the First and Fastest Award goes to …
Darkseid as the Eisner award winning writer of the Absolute universe
As submitted by /u/chroniclescylinders! Yep that’s right, Darkseid writes Wonder Woman better than most hired DC writers, Darkseid understands class warfare better than most Batman writers, Darkseid gave us maybe the best Martian Manhuner comic ever, and for some reason Darkseid has a very unique interest in Brazil? Regardless, bravo Darkseid! Darkseid Is! (Cromulus Bombly could never)
The Paul, honour for the most overhated media goes to …
Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman
As submitted by … uh idk some guy. We get it, throwing another Wonder Girl on the pile of forgotten toys. Not to mention the book’s frequent use of the SuperSons (and dare I even mention, Jason Todd *shudders*). And did I mention it was written by Tom King? That guy’s got to be a reigning champ of The Paul awards, no?
The Read the Fucking Book Award for stupidest controversy goes to …
Absolute Batman fighting the Klan
As submitted by /u/TheeHeadAche! Wow, opposing the Klan is controversial now? Who would have thought?#:~:text=the%20Mutual%20Network%22.-,%22Clan%20of%20the%20Fiery%20Cross%22,-%5Bedit%5D). And may I point out just how close this vote was? With my needing to refresh the poll results as Absolute Batman almost had to share this award with Wonder Woman, the Nazi Sympathiser. How awkward that combination would have been …
Is He Stupid? The honour for the funniest character slander goes to …
The penance stare can’t even take out Hitler and Ghost Rider is a fraud
As submitted by /u/Defiant_Ad6190! Godwin who? The only law of the internet I know is that the penance stare is broken and Ghost Rider is a fraud. May Ghost Rider writers repent their sinful ways.
Frank Miller Presents, the award for the weirdest comic news, goes to …
Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly (2025)
James Joyce aside, who was this comic even for? Well apparently this subreddit, what with how popular this entry was, winning in a complete landslide victory. Perhaps it’s time to change this category name? To recognise the lasting impact of DC’s third pillar of their Big Three.
The Deranged Ramblings Award for best subreddit moment has to go to …
GI Robot posting!
And boy howdy, what a subreddit moment that was. Cheers to the Tinman! He’s now basically become a second subreddit icon for us after Telos himself (and credit to /u/RumpelRee for the artwork). Nazi Wonder Woman, take note, this is how we do things ’round here.
Though, credit where it’s due, close second goes to The subreddit turning a simple alignment chart meme into a genuinely halfway decent comic discussion, as submitted by /u/ThunderCharged and as organised initially by /u/JAKUsss1311, thank you for your efforts
The Needle in a Trash Stack Award (for the least worst Tweet) goes to …
Jim Lee talks H2SH
As submitted by /u/beary_neutral! JEPH AND JIM FOREVER AND FOREVER A HUNDRED YEARS Jeph and Jim.. some…things.. Me and Jeph and Jim runnin’ around and… Jeph and Jim time… a- all day long forever.. all a – a hundred days Jeph and Jim! Forever a hundred times…. OVER and over Jeph and Jim … adventures dot com..

The Based and Kirby-Pilled Awards for best creator quote goes to …
Chip Zdarsky giving /u/UndercoverDoll49 a big “fuck you!”
And wow, what a big year it’s been for Mr Zdarsky, for also placing second for growing bored of his own Daredevil run. Where would the comics industry be without such innovative creators as our friendly neighbourhood Chip?
The Bat-Manifesto honour for most cursed comment goes to …
#Qualityslop
Again as submitted by /u/beary_neutral! Yep, sums up our community’s collective media literacy in one clean word or phrase. Could honestly be its own category in future Awards let’s give Eisner a run for his money
The Jimmy Olsen Award for best original edit or meme goes to …
Pieman Simpson’s edits
As submitted by /u/Tassle501 and /u/Medium-Science9526 with many unique contributions the web over. May he save us from the next big Crisis event, in Pieman we Crust.
The Outjerked Again Award for best obscure joke goes to …
Cyclops is Batman’s mentor
As submitted by /u/somacula! Though Batman may be topping the charts, with half of the 10 best comics of the year being Batman titles, it’s a precient reminder that is always The Man behind The Man we should be thinking of
Close second goes to our collective hallucination of a DC: Allies game, but what with the release of Batman/Deadpool (or is it Deadpool/Batman?) maybe we are closer to that reality than we may think? *cope*
And lastly, for the most prestigious DK Edict Award, Donkey Kong picks….
