This Week In Comics: 1/9

Another New Comic Book Day is upon us! It’s time to plan a trip to your local comic shop and take a look at this week’s new comics! Hit the jump to check out reviews of my favorite comics coming out this week.

My 10 Favorite Books of 2018

Last year, I read so few books that I had to lump a Top 5 list in with my Top 5 comics. This year, I have read more books than probably any other year of my entire life - definitely enough for a standalone Top 10 list. Check out my favorite books of the year after the jump.

This Year In Comics: 2018

I wasn’t sure how to set up my end of the year comics post. Comics is a huge industry with the Big Two, indies, manga, graphic novels, trades, single issues, digital, and a whole lot of other complicated factors. It’s hard to rank a six-issue arc against an anthology or a ten chapter tankobon. So instead of a Top 10 list, I’m just going to highlight the comics, manga, and graphic novels that defined the year for me.

How Digimon Could Appear in Smash

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has just dropped and the gaming world has focused all of its attention on Nintendo’s video game crossover battle royale. As always, a new Smash gets fans theorizing about possible characters to be added to the already overloaded roster. Earlier this year, I published a post listing fifteen characters I want to see in Smash. Since the game is finally released, I thought I’d go a bit more in-depth on how I would like to see my favorite franchise represented: Digimon.
