I've only seen 1, 2 and 4, but I definitely think 2 is the weakest of those. I'm pretty sure I have 3 on DVD somewhere, so I think I've found tonight's entertainment!

Read the article much?
It's a late release so I can understand why it's not on the list, but I hope The AV Club will cover Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen by Dylan Horrocks at some point. I've only read snippets of it so far, but it looks like it'll be an amazing follow-up to Hicksville.
I haven't even read Sugar Skull yet and I know it deserves its place on the list. X'ed Out and The Hive are so beautiful and creepy and weird. I can't wait to get my hands on this last volume of the story.
Jenny Sparks in Stormwatch, too.
Hmm, Jordie Bellaire is great on Moon Knight, but her definitve work? Nah. That's Zero, for sure. She is ten levels of amazing on that book, colouring a different artist each issue and still making the book feel both coherent and distinctive.
Jesus Christ that quote could not be more Ellis-y.
The list is wayyy Image-heavy because Image are putting out so many goddamn amazing books. Seems fair to me.
There is only one trade to catch up on, and it is really great. Emma Rios' artwork alone makes it worth it, but after a slow first couple of issues the story really hooked me as well.
I got into Glory because of recommendations here (possibly yours?). I definitely think it was underrated, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was better than Prophet.
Yeah, I'm surprised that Through the Woods didn't make the list. Blacksad, as well actually.
Forming is so great! I think volume II was possibly a little weaker than vol I, but it's still such a funny and insane and completely gorgeous book.
It's hard to find some of the earlier Carey trades now, which is holding me back. I wonder if they'll ever publish a "Complete X-men by Mike Carey" series of trades…
I thought Schism wasn't too bad. AvX definitely sucked though. And I refuse to buy anything with Greg Land in it. That guy sucks the worst.
FC3 was so annoying because you could tell the writers were trying to get at something, but the game was just too bone-headed to pull it off. I was also hoping FC4 would get it right, but by the sounds of it they've abandoned any pretense of inventive storytelling and are content to just phone in a big action…
I'm not bothered in the slightest about delays if the end product is good.
I'm so glad this column mentioned it. I'd never heard of it before and it looks AMAZING. Instant purchase.
Oh, hold on. Pelletier came onto that series way later. In that case, I have no comment!
Exiles was a pretty great series for a while there. It fell off in quality a bit, probably just because the concept of visiting loads of What-If worlds has limited scope, but the early run at least is really good.
No, mostly because it's practically a reskin of Black Flag, so there's not much that could go wrong.
