January 7, 2013 1:23 pm Wheel Well Said minus the stuff about peoples financial situation, For 8 bucks a month you can buy a quality tp (chew volume 1, saga vol 1, Tmnt Vol 1, Ect the list goes on..... my point is cost and worth. Marvel are making people who love and idiolise comics into a money making scheme and it hurts man. Especially when people already pay a substantial amount in the first place. I was so excited to read x men with all the praise it's getting but its not worth the amount there charging i'd rather read more comics that are just as good. Thankyou image comics for being fucking awesome and fair and not making me feel like a chump for loving comics. Marvel and DC lost the love they need it back. in the words of Paul Rudd on I Love You, Man- 'Big Time'

January 7, 2013 1:05 pm I'm glad you like so many DC books, I really wish it was the same for me But it's not I love Batman i mean c'mon who doesn't but I get my fill from Batman and Bat Inc, I also like nightwing don't get me wrong I think KH is doing some really good work. His best even. I've been reading comics since i was like 7 and i'm 26 now and the majority of what i've read from dc the past year i've seen before. I've read some amazing Superhero comics like Danger Club, Invincible and Hickmans Incredible run on FF, Daredevil and Hawkman, Not to forget Batman and the first 6 issues of animal man, When i read things like Justice league, i go 'meh' (especially when im enjoying the sub story more than the main arc. It pisses me off so much because the writting from the guy who wrote Blackest Night/Brightest day and Redefined GL and Flash. I can't pay more for shitter work. I'll pass. I don't think DC really has gotten much worse. Other publishers have gotten much better. (Image) Marvel on the other hand bring out quality but try to rape you in the process. Each month i seem to be steering towards Image more and more. Man I used to be such a DC fanboy. Wish i still had faith.

January 7, 2013 11:53 am The main problem with DC is they don't have enough writers that can continue to bring good stories! Marvel are overcharging bastards, wonder if it has any input from Disney? I didn't know they were doing x2 issues a month and i skipped my collection last month so had x4 3.99 issues on Avengers and Xmen. i shit the bed when my local comic book store asked for 80 english pounds in comic books over 20 pounds of that from 2 comics. Instantly dropped both as i can't afford to spend 12 pounds on two comics. when i could be reading 5 others that are just as good.

January 7, 2013 11:24 am See I'm annoyed now. everyone keeps saying that DC has alot of good books, Everyone one of you has said this has named about 6 books and most of them are the same bloody 6. DC have a stupid number of comics released every month almost all of them are the same old uninspired crap. 7 out of over 50 is rubbish....Look at Image in comparison. almost all of there stuff is relevant, new and fresh. As far as I see it with out Snyder, Geoff Johns and Lemire. DC would be pretty fucked.

January 7, 2013 11:13 am Still though, Fat Wreck is owned by Mike, It doesn't matter that he uses a company for shipping it saves time and money, It's up to his company what he releases. Sony won't have any input in whats given to them, they'll just take a chunk of change. Distribution has nothing to do with Creativity, Image doesn't tell BKV to write, they just print it for him and let him get on with it. Sony have no probelm releasing anything controversial (SOAD are a prime example.) Plus I think he's using it as an example, no need to try and pick at something unimportant to change what hes trying to say. Not using Sony would be a very dumb move as he still gets his own way but gets to distribute it a larger audience. Ron, Well said! Fantastic list overall, I could probs disagree with 1 or two things but you wrote a really well written article on the lows on what i like to call 'The Year of Creator Owned Comics' Keep up the awesome work! you make my work day go alot quicker :)

January 2, 2013 12:31 pm Great list, Glad Brian K V didn't take it. Although his single story is always my 'go to' issue. It's really all he's done this year. Can't Argue with Snyder and Hickman aswell. MP is a comic fool of hidden treats and its so clever! Think Waid should of been amongst the finalists. I'd of loved to seen Nick Spencer get a mention, I think Morning glories has been awesome, his theif of thieves run was great and bedlam looks to be his best yet!

December 31, 2012 5:53 am I was actually pissed off for about an hour after I read it, I read Chew in TB and always read it in one sitting. I had a real strong connection to the character and was gutted. Makes me excited to see what'll happen next.

December 31, 2012 4:58 am Chapter 5 is horrible. In the best kind of way.

December 31, 2012 4:27 am That Hawkman panel cracks me up so much. Honestly panel of the year for me.....so epic.

December 31, 2012 4:21 am No love for Bedlam, thought it might of squeezed into the top ten. No love for Nick Spencer!
