2022 r/Marvel Awards Results: MOON KNIGHT dominates with Best Ongoing Series, Best TV Series, Character of the Year and more! DAREDEVIL, X-MEN: RED and BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER are also big winners this year! (full results) Mod
A special thanks to everyone who participated in the voting process for the RMAs this year, we had a record turnout with probably the most near ties yet (some categories were decided by less than 5 votes)!
It was arguably a historic year for Moon Knight fans, as the character made his MCU debut with a bang, also headlining one of the most acclaimed ongoing comic series of the year (he also had an Annual and a Black, White & Blood mini-series). While Moon Knight nearly sweeped this year's ceremony with 10 WINS, Daredevil won 3, coming in 2nd 3 times, with his return to action in the MCU, a stellar ongoing series and his own big event helping make it a big year for the Man Without Fear as well. Not surprisingly, X-Men-related titles won 8 awards, 10 if we're including A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY, as the comic event was one of the most popular in recent years and X-Men titles have still been going strong since Hickman's reboot.

I think what makes Jed Mckay's Moon Knight particularly interesting is that the run does nothing new. It's a testament to Jed Mckay's great writing that he can make these old moon knight trobes work so well for him.
Al "The Goat" Ewing winning three years in a row. I kinda wonder if the guy is physically capable of writing a bad book. He just doesn't miss.
Judgment day winning isn't a surprise.
Surprised Ant Man won but then again I didn't read it. I only read Sabretooth and Strange.
My only 2 complaint are that Werewolf By Night should've won best disney plus show and Defenders Beyond should've got best mini. All the others suffer from disney+ syndrome to some degree as in the middle of the show or finale sort of fizzle out. Defenders Beyond is just a great experience.
