cool, but i don't understand why Lady Gaga's music video is listed as a related video

[ComicBookClub]

Because we want to take a ride on her disco stick? I dunknow.

these guys put me on to the best comics i've ever read, but...

that said, i question why locke and key is rated higher than scalped this year...i thought the suspense and fear of the former fell off, while the dramatic tension of the latter grew to an impeccable height.

strangely, from experience, i think that both of these titles are better read in trade format (or at least reading story arcs back to back) ...what do you think?

[ComicBookClub]

@gdkeen Hmmm... I actually love the single issues of Locke & Key, as I think Joe Hill does a great job of making every issue self contained, while continuing the ongoing story. But! I can see wanting to read them as a Book, as well :)

Hulk team up with dazzler is like the war and peace of comic books.

[ComicBookClub]

I couldn't agree more.

[BlackVirusxz]

The fact that Chew is nowhere on this list is such a massive fail. It should be in the top 5.

[wadely50]

ok most of yourr list was ok by my standards but no red robin is just unacceptable.... it deserved to be at least somewhere on the list

[chicksinbras]

[chicksinbras]

Your Fan, Matt C

I just read the first trade of scalped. I dont get it. The art is good but i find the writing soooooo poor. I'm not drawn in by the weak characterization. Why do i care about what happens to them? Please explain. Im at a loss

[austing360]

yes i love batwoman so much!!! u guys where so right

[Kcajoo]

Great List but in my view you forgot Young Liars, Walking dead, Batman and Robin, Green Lantern and GLC.

But I understand you have to make a choice. And I can't be more agree for Hulk team-up n°1.

That's a real boldly badass comic.

[LatinD]

Great list. Now I know what to buy. Thanks, guys.

I don't have a local comic book store, what was the price of a comic raised to?
