Haha I just realized most of Brian K Vaughan's comics last year were drawn by Canadians...
Very hard choices in some categories this year.

I wanted to vote for mechana! Haha! Thank you Vee, but colorists are often still considered very low on the creator totem pole, right above the letterer and the guy who puts in the staples! It would be nice if they included the category, but it wouldn't go to me. Canada is a hot bed of talented colorists; I know at least half a dozen in my town alone!
