Best Comic of the Year
I guess I should put one of these forward. I'm thinking of this as I type, so it'll be a suprise for both of us.
52 comes to mind as one of the best comics of the year. Though there were some disappointments, like the Luthor storyline, it was one comic I couldn't wait to get every week. Further, in comparing it to the present "Countdown" series, it seems all the better.
All-Star Superman also pops on to this list: Grant Morrison delivered quite a few stories that hit the ball out of the park. Blue Beetle gave us some of the best character interaction out there, Invincible never failed us, and the Atom gave us a good dose of weirdness and an extremely likeable main character.
I also need to mention the Black Adam miniseries: it's been doing well every issue, as has the "Trials of Shazam" mini.
I think, however, if I have to pick just one, my favorite series this year goes to "Welcome to Tranquility". Every character in this book is great: the interactions between the are great, the stories are great, and I believe they are cancelling it because no one reads it except people with great taste ;-).
Congratulations to Welcome to Tranquility and Gaile Simone!
