There were a LOT of good ones this year, I mean 'OH SHIT!' moments are sort of the backbone of the industry so this is always a strong category.

But Cap's death really shocked me man. I know that Marvel forewarned retailers in a manner that may have spoiled it for some, and there were others who called it as early as Civil War #4 and shit. But I wasn't expecting it, nor did I even READ it the week it came out.

I'd been out of the country for 2 weeks, I get back, check cnn.com, and Cap is dead. "oh, shit," I said. "oh, shit."

Then I read the book, and again I said "oh shit!"
