The final day of our Most Popular of 2023 feature series is here. It culminates in the top 10 creators on GlobalComix.

We're taking things to the next level today by awarding $1,111 to each creator on the list.

It was originally going to be $1000 for each creator, but @ArtCrumbs (creator of Godsbane), chose to decline the payout since they are a GlobalComix employee. So, their reward is being redistributed equally amongst the remaining 9 creators.

Congratulations to everyone who placed on the list!
