THE BEST OF 2010

It's hard even remembering everything that went down in the comic book world this past year. There were the big events of course. DC had Brightest Day and The Return of Bruce Wayne, not to mention the year ending with multiple Batmen running amok across the globe. Marvel had Siege, which ended with the arrest of Norman Osbourne. Daredevil was evil in Shadowland and Cable died during a big X-Men event titled “Second Coming.” There were three new Avengers titles this year, all of them mediocre. As for the good comics? Chew was consistently fun and weird. Rasl was bizarre and wonderful. Sweet Tooth packed an emotional wallop every month while showcasing the end of the world. Mark Millar put three creator-owned books out and stole all of Marvel's good artists to get them done. Scott Pilgrim said goodbye. Jason Aaron made a name for himself with a ton of books this year including Wolverine and Punisher Max, yet his best was still Scalped. The Amazing Spider-Man finally stuck with one writer and got better. Choker was sadistic but also great. J.M. Straczynski started writing both Superman and Wonder Woman...then quit. As for my personal favorites? Erik Larsen once again shook up Savage Dragon by killing Earth's population. & John Constantine is getting married. Crazy, right?
