25-21

 

25) Wonder Woman

Some fresh takes on characters have failed in new 52 but some have passed in flying colours and this one is one of them.Having great writing and beautiful art replacing dumb 3rd rate villains with gods is another big important this series makes."We're constantly told she belongs next to Superman and Batman, but we rarely see that potential reached. With Azzarello and Chiang's new series, Wonder Woman is standing atop Mount Olympus and we're loving it” from ign.

 

24) Swamp Thing

It’s hard to make something after someone like Alan Moore made what your writing into masterpiece but Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette did it with amazing art and writing while taking history about Swamp thing but still making it great for newcomers.The story is creppy and art adds to it greatly making it one best books at DC.

 

23) Batwoman

This is only ongoing book that could have no writing what so ever but would still be worth the 3$.J.H. Williams III shows that his art is best on market nothing even comes close but the flash series but this series no panel is ever wasted.The writing is as good as Greg Rucka but it’s still decent and with art this good it’s ok if the story isn’t.

 

22) The Walking Dead

“2011 saw Rick Grimes and his dwindling band of allies settle into their new home at the community. And when the zombie hordes invaded, Rick and friends managed to hold the line and avoid another repeat of Woodbury. It was a year of triumphs and tragedies for the characters. And through it all, the quality of the book has remained consistent.

 

We don't expect the franchise's momentum to slow anytime soon. Between the recent Rise of the Governor spinoff, the return of the TV show in early 2012, and the continued popularity of the comic and its various collected editions, the Walking Dead will continue to dominate the stands.” from ign

 

21) The Unwritten

 

The interplay between fiction and reality, and the exploration of what a story is and can do, make 'The Unwritten' an intriguing and rewarding read every month. This is actually the last book I read in my weekly stack, as it's one I want to spend some time with -- Carey and Gross reward a close reading."

20) Captain American and Bucky

Ed Brubaker proves people wrong again where he decides to go to WW2 and offer one and done tales adding to the characters of Steve and Bucky.By adding Francesco Francavilla art to the great writing of Ed am positive this is going to be one of best books in 2012 and offer tons of great moments.

 

19) The Punisher

Greg Rucka proves once again he knows how to write crime and do it better than almost everyone.He as made The Punisher a minor character in his own series by making him barley talk, making him creppy and almost heartless everything the punisher should be.Also adding cops to the story makes more interesting as they try to hunt the punisher down which this much more make for great comic.

 

18) Savage Dragon

“It hasn’t been years, but decades, since Erik Larsen and Gary Carlson first teased a war of the worlds that would embroil Vanguard and Savage Dragon in the task of saving the earth from powerful alien invaders. Over the years some of the focus may have fallen away from this ambitious undertaking, but it was finally decided in 2011 that Vanguard would have to fulfill his ultimate purpose. While Larsen himself is taking over Supreme full time this year (and penciling Alan Moore scripts in the process), that anticipated project will, for many long-time fans, come in second on the list of what they’re excited by from the Savage Dragon creator this year.”

17) Supergirl

Supergirl is these only comic that is starting fresh and is doing good job with it by adding interesting characters and somewhat basic plot that’s easy to follow with great art.What i want to see in Supergirl is how it does after it’s first story arc and how the newly formed villains plays into things.The writng is fresh and it’s best superman theme book out there which is hard thing to do when your up against Morrison.

 

16) Batgirl

It might not be Stephanie Brown(which makes still sad) but Gail Simone doing wonderful job making Barbara Gordon Batgirl again working off past events to add to this Batgirl.The villain was interesting and played out well but characters in this series are great and way Gail works Bab’s is great and funny.The way cliff-hanger ended shows this series going to be a lot more fun but that’s just fine with me.

15) Locke and Key

 

“Suspiciously consistent in quality, Locke and Key has given us a sweeping family drama grounded in the kind of terrifying madness and conspiracy that we constantly thirst for. While the future of the much-desired television adaptation remains in question, readers looking for something to enthrall them with each page turn would do well to catch up on Locke and Key and brace themselves for its impending finale.

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez have created a modern masterpiece of character-centric horror that shouldn't go unread by anyone that claims themselves a fan of the genre, whether they read comic books or not.” from ign

 

14)Batman and Robin

I never read Batman and Robin after Grant Morrison run but this series in the New 52 does almost as good with character development as Grant did.The way Alfred,Bruce and Damian interact with each other is great and rings true to how Grant did them back in the day.The villain is interesting and cool.The art is great with a great use of shadows and reactions.This series out of all expect for one does a good family story where it shows just how bad of parent Bruce is also Damian is slowly becoming my favourite Robin.

 

13) Sweet Tooth

 

Here’s what IGN says about Sweet Tooth.

“Rare is the series that can make us tear up on an almost month-to-month basis. Jeff Lemire's bizarre post-apocalyptic tale of a young boy with antlers that may or may not be the savior of all things continues strong as it approaches its milestone 30th issue. In fact, the past year of Sweet Tooth has seen some of its most beautiful installments yet, both narratively and in terms of Lemire's unique art style. As the series has worn on, he's taken some new approaches to not only narrative structure but also art, incorporating watercolor and bringing guest artist Matt Kindt on board for an arc. Even well over two years into its existence, Sweet Tooth continues presenting new mysteries to explore as much as it answers old ones. Now is the time to catch up and get on board this series, because we're headed for some big revelations in the issues to come”.

 

12) Ultimate Comics Spider-Man

Yes Peter Parker is dead but since his death Ultimate Comics Spider-Man never been better.Miles is new freshing character maybe even little young but Bendis did something truly great where he made Peter Miles Uncle Ben.The art is great and fits the new mood of the comic with great writing by Bendis that shows he still knows what he is doing.Heading into the new year i’ve never been more exciting about Spiderman book than this one.Is done everything great and really shows there is reason for Ultimate line.

 

11) Justice League

I might have not enjoy this series as much as other comics in New 52 but next year is the year Johns and Lee show why this is most important book in the New 52.The characters are finally all together and almost have different personally’s.With introduction of Darksied to the New 52 to know we are going to get something epic for this series.I almost wondering where this series will go after Darkseid arc which should be long one and when will i start like Hal Jordon as character.

10) Scarlet Spider

The Best thing to come out of Clone Saga was Scarlet Spider.Now since i’ve seen some of the what series is in that stupid comic that i have forgotten name of and it does not deserve honor of Google search but Scarlet Spiderman stuff was a neat little story that got me little bit hype up about this new series.Kaine being the new Scarlet Spider will be going to Houston as a fugitive to hide from his past crimes. Supporting cast will include Aracely (a 16 year old girl whose life he saved) and Annabelle (a bartender/singer working at the Four Seasons Hotel). The superhero group known as the Rangers will make an appearance. Kaine, as the Scarlet Spider, will go up against threats varying from general crime to super villains, monsters to corporations, and finally himself.It seems like good idea for good comic and it could possibly be my favourite Spiderman comic in the new year.

 

 

9) Uncanny X-Force

Here’s what IGN says about Uncanny X-Force

“X-Men books have a reputation for being burdened by continuity and inaccessible to newcomers. Uncanny X-Force proved this doesn't have to be the case. Spinning out of the events of Second Coming, this series sees Wolverine revive the covert squad of mutant assassins as they battle a reborn Apocalypse, the Reavers, and other threats to the mutant race. This series is a prime example of how a book can be more than the sum of its parts. Rick Remender is a talented writer, but when paired with an artist like Jerome Opena, the result is pure comic book magic. Uncanny X-Force achieves that rare blend of ingredients – it has gripping plot twists, memorable action sequences, terrific visuals, ample doses of humor, and some of the best character work you'll find in a Marvel book. Whether you've been following the X-Men franchise for decades or only just jumped into this universe, Uncanny X-Force will grab your attention and never let go.”

Geoff Johns is best comicbook writer in history at taking unlikeable or forgotten characters and making them epic and making some best characters at DC and that’s what Johns as done on Aquaman.Ivan Reis also as captured the perfect world to put John’s newly created Badass Aquaman and he almost captures action and talking scenes wonderfully.With where Johns is taking Aquaman is really getting me excited for possibly of what can happen.This series shows how the New 52 can take characters make them awesome so people stop MAKING AQUAMNA JOKES THERE OUT OF DATE.

 

 

7)Winter Soldier

Out of all new superhero comics that are being release next year this one as has the best shot of being one of the best comics of 2012.I know this because Ed Brubaker is writing about Bucky and with Brubaker record with the character this is going to be success.This is also the best thing to come out Fear Itself and with him writing 3 different Captain American series we know he can’t drop the ball.In Brubaker we trust!

 

 

6) Animal Man

OH Boy!.Here it is Animal Man the best series at DC Comics.It does everything right it’s twisted,weird,creepy and most of all it’s about the family.Jeff Lemire writing and great art by artist of this series is making series going down as modern classical.The story is wonderful with it focusing on Buddy Baker’s family and atmosphere is almost breath taking.With the series tying into swamp thing with them going to battle the rod it’s setting up to be one of best things going on at DC with only one other thing beating it.Animal Man is just so different than any other superhero story going on that it deserves your attention and hopefully more people will notice this gem.

5) Wolverine and the X-men

This is one of funniest and most fun comics out there with great writing by Jason Aaron.This series as given me a fresh take on Wolverine that isn’t overdone and his making me like his character again.Also tons of character that are not famous or well known and are making stars out of them.Iceman and the beast are cool and Kitty Pryde is awesome and i’m happy she’s of main’s in the series.There’s some Toad who has one of funnist moments in 2011 for comics.The series is taking fresh take on X-men and it’s more of enjoyable X-men stories in years.The story and pacing of great and look forward to stories to come but the artist in this book with been good and with new one coming soon i hope pace continues.

 

 

4) American Vampire

American Vampire + 50‘s = One of best Comics out there.Now i have been enjoying Amercian Vampire but am tad behind but with issue that just came out being jumping on point i picked and it’s best comic of the week.Scott Snyder and Rafeal Albuerque have captured 50‘s vibes perfectly and always know how to capture action well too.The writing is masterful and pacing is awesome with great artwork that adds to the story and all of this together makes it one of best comics heading into new year and don’t think it’s going to slow down which makes me even more happy.

 

 

3)Batman

Scott Snyder continues to nail it out of park with his writing on Batman and is slowly becoming my favourite Batman writer in history of comics.He did Dick Grayson Batman story so good i gave it 10 out 10 and his writing on Batman in New reboot is almost as good.He understands also every character in Batman universe including Batman by making him cocking and over skeptical but still making him badass character.The art is overall pretty good from Greg Capullo reminding me of Batman:The animated series a tad.The story is wonderful making good use of Gotham and making it character.The court of owls are cool and are shaping up to put up quite fight to Bruce Wayne which great to see.All that more is good enough reason to read this series.

 

 

2)Daredevil

Who would of though that Daredevil would go from being “emo” where everything bad happen to him to a happy good lucky fellow.Well Mark Waid and the art team did and make it so beileveable.This series is hilarious,fun,action packed and does almost everything right.The lettering is so well done and the art team on this book capture the new feel of the book and add some much to the story it’s just great.The writer Mark Waid recharge Daredevil making him one of funniest characters in Marvel and the story going on as not missed a beat.Everything you could want in comic is in this story it’s such refreshing take to see a writer does not have to make everything depressing or down to make as feel for character.Everything that happen in Daredevil is great and hope everyone gives this series a chance.

What could beat my love for Daredevil.Read the next posted

1)Saga

Yes the comic that has even came out yet is #1 for comic you must read for 2012.Here’s why the writer is BKV.If you don’t know that name you better he was writer of such masterpieces as Y:the Last man,Ex Machina and Runaways and much more.He is my favourite writer in comics the way he writes his characters and stories is unmatched.The character development that characters go though is unmatched.So why does this comic itself get #1 when it as no ads in comic at all which i love and Brian K. Vaughan says this is most fun he’s had writing characters since Agent 355 and Yorick Brown which come from my favourite comic of all-time Y:the last man.So here’s what he said about the comic the first issue is a double-sized, 44 pages of Fiona goodness for our regular ongoing price of just $2.99.I think people are going to love it so much they'll want to forever tarnish their flesh with bad tattoos of our characters, but in the off-chance the book's not for you, I'll happily buy our first issue back from you (my address is included in what promises to be a trainwreck of a letter column). Letterer/designer Steven Finch worked overtime to make this first printing of our first chapter a really beautiful physical object, from cover to cover, but Image can only make so many, so if you want one, you might want to reserve a copy next time you're at your friendly neighborhood comic retailer.Forget a world; we've got entire galaxies, and each planet is unique. But we've also got clear-cut rules, real stakes and maybe even a badass map or two to show where we're headed. Our corner of the universe definitely combines elements of science fiction and fantasy, but I think the story will also appeal to people who aren't necessarily fans of those genres. My goal is always to make comics that you'll hopefully like enough to force on your significant other, especially if he or she isn't into comics yet.BKV is looks like your about to create masterpiece that everyone should read and i know i will be taking about this comic when comes out and this is thing am most excited about in 2012.
