2015 was an outstanding year for comics; a year of great books by amazing talents, both new and established. But what were the highlights? We’re asking you to pick the best comics, creators, and more in 2015.

This poll is your chance to vote for the best new character of 2015. It's sometimes easy to forget that there's more to comics than the big name heroes who have been around for 50 years or more. Every year has its share of standout new creations, and 2015 is no exception. With this poll we've picked out ten of the very best.

The nominees for best new character are Beth Ross from Prez, created by Mark Russell and Ben Caldwell; Emmy from Harrow County, created by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook; Josie Schuller from Ladykiller, created by Joelle Jones and Jamie S. Rich; MacKenzie Coyle from Paper Girls, created by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang; Maika from Monstress, created by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda; Mary Parker from Switch, created by Stjepan Sejic; Mr Bloom from Batman, created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.Nancy Whitehead from Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, created by Ryan North and Erica Henderson; Tim-21 from Descender, created by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen; and Zodiac Starforce from Zodiac Starforce, created by Kevin Panetta and Paulina Ganucheau.
