Suffering from purchase anxiety over the 300 issues of Hellblazer that DC and Comixology have just decided to stick on sale for 99 cents each? Let us help you with our carefully thought out and not at all thrown together in a hastily-written blog post recommendations!
(Short version: buy all the Ennis issues RIGHT NOW)
Marvel has just released this teaser.
The biggest story I’ve done for Marvel? Sounds about right.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Alternate Cover powers into the new year with an injection of Fresh! New! Young! Trendy! Excitingness! as James (30) and Seb (30) review Kieron Gillen (37) and Jamie McKelvie (12)’s Young Avengers #1. We also count down our top five Younger Versions Of Existing Superheroes, run through some capsule reviews including Mara,Chew and Hellblazer, and turn our Dusting Off gaze on the first issue of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men. You can probably stop doing that, now.
So, like most everybody else sensible, we picked Fraction and Aja’s Hawkeye as our comic of the year.
James elaborates in detail on exactly why over at the site, but frankly, the above page from last month’s issue #6 should really tell you everything.
If 2013 produces a comic anywhere near as good as those six issues, it’ll be one hell of a year. Here’s to it!
In no particular order, here are nine of Alternate Cover’s ten best comics of 2012. But what was our #1? Find out tomorrow!
