I won't spoil the article, but @CBR's choice is excellent.

Finally picked up The Avengers #201 (November 1980). It's a day-in-the-life story with a little action. It's also the last issue George Perez did in the 80s.

@dragottaart homage to Frank Miller's Dark Knight is one of the reasons why I read Absolute Batman. One year in, and it's already the best Batman series we've seen in decades.

One of my favourite comic book series is coming to the screens large and small. "Something Is Killing The Children" is an action-horror story of a monster hunter struggling to protect children from monsters both supernatural and human.

Marv Wolfman and George Perez's New Teen Titans were perfect comic books.

I bought the Deadpool/Batman one-shot last week. Frank Miller revisits Wolverine and Batman in the final story. If you've read the blog, you know I'm a fan. I can't really bring myself to say how I feel about Miller's work here. I'll let it speak for itself.

Damn.
Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta are putting their Batman through another meat grinder.

Batman #1 is a perfect jumping-on point for new readers. Mark Fraction and Jorge Jimenez bring bat the grey and blue with familiar faces. It's really good, but the Bat-book for me is Absolute Batman.

If you're looking for comic book classics, head over to Nefarious Comics. Found New Teen Titans #13 in the back issues bins. It starts the second year of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's incomparable run on the series.

Marvel put the Punisher red band variant in a polybag. Comic book fans, being comic book fans, have asked the question, "Do I open it?". I plan on opening mine because I read comic books, putting more value in the story, art, and rarity. The value will invariably spike, but long-term will level off.

Marvel used to have great annuals. Hulk Annual #7 is a stand-alone, actioner with the Hulk and the X-Men's Angel and Iceman. Roger Stern wrote it. John Byrne and Bob Layton teamed up for the art. Comic book greatness.
