My personal favorite comic, and the one the fine people of io9 most need to get reading is Locke and Key by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez.

The greatest comic run of all time is Y: the Last Man by Brian K Vaughan and Pia Guererra.
Never hate to be that guy!
Lots going on in a very simple tweet.
And if we are including Corran Horn, we also gotta put a Fel on the list. Jagged would be the obvious pick, though I’m more partial to Marasiah. Actually I’m a big fan of a lot of the Legacy characters; I really like Uncle Blue.
Broadly you are probably right, but I think its a bit of a generational thing. Those of us who were devouring Star Wars media between the release of RotJ and tPM (lets call us the Special Edition Generation) would probably agree with you, but I think younglings would be more inclined to favor Asohka Tano, Asajj…
I forgot he was in that! That run was so crazy, switching creative teams and directions every 6 or so issues. It also weirdly killed off/made evil some of my other favorite Brubaker reapropriations, like John Aman (unless I suck at Marvel trivia today, and that all happened in Fraction’s Defenders).
Yeah, the Inception-building origami hasn’t quite done it for me, but the clean geometric lines of the spells are the kind of trippiness I was hoping to see. It looks like it crawled out of a funky 70s comic.
Thanks Paul, that tease has been bugging me since I saw it in the wee hours of the morning, but I think you’re absolutely right! I think it’s gonna be Steele, who most recently had a prominent role in Ed Brubaker’s love letter to Golden Age Timely Comics, The Marvels Project. He’s certainly a manly, Golden Age 1940s…
I know the dude playing Arthur. He’s a big nerd in real life too. Surprise!
Good take Evan, but I think you need to remember the context of these character decisions: mainly Bendis. I have spent many many many hours of my life pondering comics greatest mystery.
The real gift was Felicity’s mom running from robo bees!
There’s a not entirely unsubstantiated rumor that you may get your wish!
It was very Buffy, in the best possible way.
Berenthal was magnetic. Enchanting! That scene where Frank and Matt are in the cemetary after the big fight? It went on foreeeeeever, just shot/reverse/shot of them leaning on the tombstones, and Frank monologuing about his little girl, all the most cliched American verteran stuff I’ve ever heard. And I was transfixed…
The Superior Foes of Spiderman.
The best JJ Trek is the one that has no JJ in it? Hmmmm....
I thought the Force Awakens was the best of the JJ Treks.
*Shrug* That’s a good one. That was the line for me between “good Trek” and “fun movie”. A good Trek story would have given time to his motivation, and it would have been the driving theme of the story.
You’re right, but I think it’s a little bit apples and oranges. Invincible’s whole mission statement is being a discrete and coherent Superhero universe in one book. You never have to read issues from another team, or go read a crossover, or an event or whathaveyou. Ending the story with the creators seems more in…
