    I appreciate all the attention you give to letterers and colorists. I’d love to see a video about the best lettered and colored books of the year…or all time. Also best designed books. I love all the work Tom Muller does for Image and the X-Men books.
    Hard to rank them in order, but some of my favorites this year are:
    Six Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton
    Dead Dogs Bite
    Many Deaths of Laila Starr
    Fire Power
    Ice Cream Man
    Stillwater
    Silver Coin
    Stray Dogs

    I stopped reading/collecting comics back in 1994 until a year ago I walked pass a local comic shop and seen a poster for Gieger. I now own every issue of Gieger even the giant 80 page special that came out and I'm back into reading comics again. I'm Living all the Spawn titles and A nice house in the lake Red Rooms is great so far too.

    Just finished Laila Star because of this, amazing! It reminded me of Siddartha, one of my favorite novels of all time.
    Also, I think Mazebook is going to be equally as impactful

  • @DCPatrol
    @DCPatrol 3 роки тому +2

    I've been trying to go through and think what my favourite books are but I can honestly not even remember.
    98% of what I read is DC so I won't have those big impactful books. Though Swamp Thing went from a book I'd never read to one of my absolute favourites of the year.
    I think the books I had the most fun with were Robin and Suicide Squad. Both also big surprises for me.
    Even though it's not done yet, Not All Robots has been one of my favourites. I'm excited to see how it concludes. The Me You Love in the Dark was up there too. It didn't blow me away, but I loved it.
    The worst thing I read all year is easy. Checkmate. Not sure why I bought issue after issue but I did and it was the most aggrivating read, for all the wrong reasons. Justice League too. That's the second longest book I've been subbed to and I've finally dropped it.
    I guess my favourite has been The Nice House on the Lake. That book just gives me all the right creeps. I know in my heart it can't stick the landing, and for that reason I kind of don't mind if it doesn't come back. But I really , REALLY!, want it to work.

    Spot on with--The Many Deaths of Laila starr, The Nice House on the Lake and Geiger. I like the artwork on The Me You Love in the Dark and I haven't read the rest but definitely going to check Swamp Thing by RAM V (also my favorite writer of the year...can't wait for the whole story of "Radio Apocalypse" drawn by ANAND RK--Amazing Artist that don't just stay with one style of Illustration-- check their collab on Gravity's Wall, Blue in Green w/c you did mention also). I will check "Red Room"--just having a hard time reading it when I see it in the stand and I'll get back on all TPBs of Ice Cream Man.

    Love it. Have read eight of the ten books on this list and six or seven of the eight are on my top ten before I think about it and the other two are strong contenders. Was thinking maybe Stillwater? And what about that finale to our beloved Wasted Space? Just some suggestions--may be a few other worthy contenders but nothing to argue with at all here.
    No Marvel is frickin'' A right this year. Thank you. It is a historic high for Marvel lately in everything but their comic product--which now seems more that--product--in service to better more improtant things--then I can ever remember. And I go back through low ebbs in their cycle to the mid 70s. But this really is the pits.

  • @scottabraham1234
    @scottabraham1234 3 роки тому +1

    Agree with your top 2. Also Nice House on the Lake is very deserving of it's place on the list. I suppose Mazebook and Primordial came a bit late in the year to make it. Also Something is Killing the Children is still a great book.
    I went out on a limb and bought the 1:100 of Many Deaths of Laila Starr on pre-order. I rarely buy ratios now, except for Something is Killing the Children, but the collector in me is glad I bought that one. Great book that will stand the test of time.
    Thanks for all you do over the year. Have a great Xmas

    Haven't read Laila Starr, but I completely agree with 'The Me You Love in the Dark'. While 'Nice House on the Lake' started off strong, I felt it got a little bogged down later on. Whereas TMYLITD picked up steam and became more and more what I love.

    I would replace Red Room with Fantastic Four current run and By the Horns with Radiant Black (I know you gave up on this Robbie, but check this out in trades it's grown so much!)
    Most, if not all of the rest I loved and By the Horns is definitely near the top of my 2022 to be read when it releases in February!!

    Excellent video.
    Have to notice that all the books are new characters and many are only 6 issues or less. It’s easier to paint a masterpiece on a blank canvas than by adding another layer to an existing work. This is why Marvel and DC big names seldom rank on these lists, especially when combined with all of their editors! Too many cooks; similar analogy.

    Love your passion, man. I collect & read a lot of indies, but I skipped Laila Starr because it had a 1:100 or was it a 1:200 ratio incentive. I hate when Image does that because usually it makes the regular a & b covers worthless over time. I’d much rather pick up the trade paperback at a later time, which I plan on doing. Surprisingly, one of my top series of the year was Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow. I love when writers take a C level character and develop an interesting & meaningful story. Check it out. Artwork is gorgeous.
