March 12, 2012 1:02 pm Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Essex County, I Kill Giants, All-Star Superman. And as long as this canon is limited to five, one of these will soon have to removed to make room for Scalped upon its conclusion.

January 3, 2012 1:24 pm Uncle! I truly couldn't care less about Daredevil, but I trust Josh's opinion too much to see him bestow something as valuable as #1 issue of the year and not give it a chance. I'll pick up the trade now. Great list. Need to check out a couple more that I missed. My #1 of the year is CHEW #18. Surprised it didn't make the cut.

September 14, 2011 6:50 pm Good review. I'm equally enthused by the book. Interesting interpretation on the #42, but, I don't think that's it. I took it as a nod to Jackie Robinson. It is Brooklyn, after all.

September 9, 2011 1:43 pm Thanks for writing this. Have increasing frustrations w/ my retailer. This week? Got there a few hours late on Wednesday. NO copies of ANIMAL MAN. Ditto SWAMP THING. Also had several sellouts over the past year on these, hence I've had to switch to TPBs on these: -American Vampire -Morning Glories -Fantastic Four (once it became FF they jumped the bandwagon) -The start of Scott Snyder's DETECTIVE run There's something fundamentally wrong with an industry whose brightest stars' material can be so hard to find. The ANIMAL MAN/SWAMP THING is pretty much a last straw for my habits. When I expressed my frustration, they shrugged it off and blamed customers for not pre-ordering enough. If I have to pre-order everything, then what service is the retailer actually providing? Why shouldn't I just switch to an online/cheaper service? If they're not going to assume *any* risk at all and provide a browsable selection, then what's the point? Once iPad 3 or 4 reaches the resolution of the iPhone 4's brilliant retina display, I think I'm going to go all-in on digital, or as much as I can.

August 25, 2011 2:50 pm Thanks for this list! Pre-ordering is something I don't want to have to do, but... In this economy, the retailers in my area have become insanely risk-averse. Image #1's are among the harder to get.

August 16, 2011 10:44 am Nice video treat! Interesting insight into her process. I look forward to the days in the not-too-distant future where these kinds of extras get included w/ digital comics.

August 10, 2011 11:35 pm Ross was hilarious and Morello's enthusiasm for his book + soundtrack has me sold. Another great round of interviews. Josh had excellent questions for Morello. That had to be intimidating to talk to the guy whose riffs inspire tens of thousands of people into such kinetic energy, when you're at the shows, 99% of your attention is on the event but 1% is looking around and wondering, "okay people we're really doing this right now, this is no longer a concert, we're really starting The Revolution now, right?"

August 3, 2011 11:07 pm Loved the intro! (and the interviews too, of course)
