This is the toughest category for me every year. Comics are an embarrassment of riches in the eye candy department. But between Butcher Baker and Homeland Directive, I really fell in love with this guy's style in 2011
91. "I copped the new issue today" In response to Reply # 85
Cover was dope and promised a new storyline? Plus I got the first trade from the library a while back and liked it. Sleepy time is over... Make that FOUR Snyper books for me

20. "those might be the only two official 'OGNs' I read from this year" In response to Reply # 18
except for maybe Korgi v3, which was also good.
But yeah, IKF was better... while Habibi's great, don't get me wrong, it was almost as though it was... just too much, if that makes sense. We've discussed it recently, so I guess that's no surprise.

63. "EEEETASTIC but UXF had..." In response to Reply # 48
...the most cold-blooded ending that I have ever read in comics, B. It was not pretty but the entire DAS vs. Hickgod's entire lead-up to 600? No competition. HICKGOD, floundered before he found his groove in *that* epic. DAS was flawless.

I've been buying this book for my girlfriend since the Straczynski run, but I always read it first. Of course, since Azzarello took over, I actually enjoy reading it first. And Cliff Chiang? That dude's hands are touched by God. Very solid book.
The interior could literally be drawn by a nearsighted toddler with an expired mustard packet and I would cop this book for the covers alone. EVERY SINGLE TIME
(For the record though, the interiors look great too)
31. "Dark Angel Saga" In response to Reply # 10 Wed Dec-28-11 05:51 PM by JRennolds
That shit cray! Let's go to the Age of Apocalypse and acquire a SEED of the Gods. What? The bad guys already have it? Game over, X-Force.
The most ruthless squad ever assembled was dissassembled in the short span of a few issues. Meticulously and piece by piece. Wolverine, you fail to factor in at all.

Cap: "Fix my man up, we need him right so we can fuck your brother up." Odin: "Who you talking to!? I'm Odin! King of all this shit here and--" Cap: "A, on the forilla? Iont even five a fuck about none of that shit. Suck my dick, B. Give my man a potion or some Sif pussy juice or something. Not now, but RAHT NAH, you bitch!" Odin: "Oh, my bad, I thought you was somebody else. Right away, sire."

I'm tired of all the renumbering and renaming. It's a trend they think will lure readers but I think it will only confuse them - especially when it goes back to the way it was.
Shit, throw in FF and Daredevil/Black Panther weirdness. I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

97. "The Stuff of Legend" In response to Reply # 96
Y'all are STILL talking about Joe the B, and while that was The God and yeah, that guarantees you'll read it, I've been praising this one for 2 years now and I don't think I've seen anyone else comment on a single one of my always-positive reviews.
The series is on its 3d (I think) volume and takes the best of Joe's toys-come-to-life adventure (keep in mind that the first volume of this was out long before Joe) and spins it into a longer tale that hews closer to fantasy. The current arc (Jester's Tale) is about as good as comics get, in my opinion, and I'm the only one reading it.
99. "Just placed a hold request!" In response to Reply # 97
Pretty sure at least one other PTPer has sung its praises (Was it Coates? I forget) but yeah, you've been ringing the bell far too long on this one for me not to give it a shot

134. "BKV & Fiona Staples on SAGA" In response to Reply # 132
Bru Dawg and Phillips' FATALE
HICK-GOD doing some creator owned stuff again
So, lots of IMAGE in my future...
Over at DC, I anticipate things with Animal Man and Swamp Thing coming to a head
And Marvel? I'll keep on keepin' on with FF, Daredevil and whatever Remender touches, be it Uncanny X-Force or Secret Avengers or whatever. Can't say I'm excited for X-MEN VS AVENGERS but that's not to say I'll be able to ignore it, either
Mostly I'm just wanting to be surprised though. Hopefully I have no clue what my favorite comic of 2012 will be
135. "I asked about hte Hickman thing" In response to Reply # 134
>HICK-GOD doing some creator owned stuff again
when I added FATALE and SAGA to the pull list, and the clerk didn't know what I was talking about. I dug up the back issue of Red Wing with the ad in it and we went and flipped through Previews together to no avail... he wound up saying he thought he remembered something about a Hickman project getting switched from monthly to OGN.
