I placed three single issues above just about everything else this year. There are some wonderful continuing series that I'm attached to, but I wanted to keep this section from rambling too much. And yes, they're all from DC because I enjoy their product better.
-Northlanders #20: Sven the Immortal
One of my favorite characters defending his family and his legacy. This also happens to be one of the best continuing series out there.
-Green Lantern #43: 'Blackest Night' prologue
Rare is the issue that genuinely creeps me out. Writing, art, pace...everything here is perfect and disturbing.
Grand Prize Winner Due Mostly To A Single Page:
-Superman: Secret Origin #1
Another re-working of an icon's beginnings that works wonderfully. Scene: Clark runs through the Kent's cornfields sobbing and terrifed when he learns of his true home and family on Krypton. Jonathan and Clark find one another and embrace on a page that was done so incredibly as to make me catch my breath.
Best Top Secret Information...
...is to be shared sometime after Thanksgiving.
Best Legacy Moment:
Comcast On-Demand is a magical thing. A random search resulted in my oldest boy falling in love with a group of heroes which makes me intensely proud:
Yeah. He sings the intro, acts it out with his Sword of Omens, uses Tygra's bolo whip, and even makes the 'shew-shew' sounds of magic bursting through the air. His coolness reached a new peak this year.
