Columns, Features, Top Story

5. Everybody hates Spider-Man in Amazing Spider-Man #667.

 

 

4. Throughout the mess that was Fear Itself #5, at least we had Thor do his own version of “If you can’t beat them”.

 

 

3. Until New Avengers #15 I had always wondered just how Squirrel Girl beat people. Now I know and…I kinda think she cheats.

 

 

2. Steph’s own little Crayola Cavalry is just awesome. Just awesome. I wish it had actually happened and that Pere Perez had drawn it!

 

 

1. It’s so rare that an ending leaves me feeling positive when I’m not sure of the future of the character involved. Thanks to Bryan Q. Miller for the fantastic ending to Batgirl #24.
