Transformers Rise of the Beasts Box from Hasbro

Another year, another bunch of awesome comics. It wasn’t easy to pick only five books to call the “Best of 2012”, but these are titles that any fan of awesome art and storytelling absolutely needs to check out.

This is a big week for fans of Spaceman, as the sci-fi noir series finally comes to its end. We also get another fantastic entry in Darwyn Cooke’s Minutemen, which keeps getting better and better each month. Read on for more details, and don’t forget to check out our X-O Manowar #4 review from earlier…

The team behind the graphic novel Joker brings us Rorschach’s long-awaited entry in the Before Watchmen series. Does it do everyone’s favorite psychotic anti-hero justice? Keep reading to find out!

This week: Swamp Thing and Animal Man finally cross paths, Before Watchmen takes advantage of its mature rating, and Matt Murdock’s life starts to suck again (it was only a matter of time). Keep reading for the details on some of this week’s best releases!

The biggest comic convention in the world starts up this week, but that doesn’t mean there’s any shortage of excitement on the comic racks.  Namely, Darwyn Cooke’s Minutemen #2, which singlehandedly validates the very existence of the Before Watchmen series.  Read on to find out why.

  The wait for Spaceman was getting a little bit ridiculous, but it has returned this week along with a host of other great books.  The talented Gregg Hurwitz has taken over writing duties on the Dark Knight, and Before Watchmen continues with Nite Owl number one.  Keep reading for the details on these titles…

This week, Before Watchmen messes with history, Daredevil somehow manages to keep getting better, and Wonder Woman gives Hades himself some romantic advice.  Check out all the details inside!

Batman finally takes the fight to the Court of Owls in this week’s issue.  Also, Batgirl beats a guy up and feels bad about it and we learn that the Silk Spectre grew up in a 1960s high school drama.

Before Watchmen is already upon us, and if the first issue is a sign of things to come for the next 35 weeks, we have a whole lot of awesome storytelling to look forward to.
