To different people this will mean different things. To some, it will be the release that kicks off an eagerly awaited series. Or it will mark the end of it. Everyone has a different view on what the best of something is, especially as we all have different perceptions on the release it self due to different backgrounds and expectations for each release.

Taking the list of titles released during the year and grouping them together, going through a nomination process to vote up the top three in each category and then opening the voting wide for readers to pick the best titles for each year, presented below is the list of titles our readers have chosen.
