My Best of 2013...

In the run up to Christmas and the eventual wind down of the this year I began to think about what comics I have really enjoyed during the year. It has also made me re-assess the comics I actually love to read. Plus I am apparently still very much a Marvel Fanboy even though Image did such a great job this year to try and make me a convert. It has become more and more difficult to find the time to read any comics coming towards the end of this year and unfortunately I think it will only get harder but what follows are the titles and writers, artists who really stand out to me and are at the top of my stack to read once I get home on a Wednesday. Lets get on with the choices then shall we...
