Best Publisher of 2013?

Grah, I've only branched out to IDW thus far. New Year's resolution to try out some more.

That was me last year =P. Try it out man, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Although I pick up more DC titles than any other...I won't lie, it's gotten very stale, I only look forward to maybe half my pull. So I vote Image, Saga has been phenomenal, The Walking Dead is still great, Morning Glories is cool, Lazarus, East of West, Jupiter's Legacy, I mean come on, this has been Image's year!

Valiant or Image by far.

I've read 2013 DC comics.

And some other stuff, I guess. Can't remember any publisher.

Lol, I know what you mean. I read more books from DC than Image and Valiant combined. Probably won't change, they simply have too many characters I love/like.

I don't think I'd label DC stale though - they just don't consistently blow me away like Valiant and Image has done. Some DC books are amazing, some not so much. More or less feel the same way with Marvel - who are getting no extra favor with me thanks to dead Peter either.

I also voted Image - but it was close. Valiant's new universe is pretty awesome. I just gave Image the nod because they have more books of equal caliber.

I've actually just dropped Superboy and Superman, Superboy was always on the edge of getting off my pull, just hasn't had one arc that really blew me away, as for Superman, well, Lobdell is getting tedious with his 3rd person omniscient narration and unflattering dialogue. But DC isn't COMPLETELY bad, I still pick up a good 25 titles from them, and they have gems like Green Arrow, Aquaman, WW, Batman, All GL stuff and Forever Evil on their side. I voted Image cause it actually impressed me the most this year, I mean I just started reading Saga, and phew, just great.

Valiant & Dynamite for me

@the_stegman: Ah. I haven't read the main Superman title as I've been warned to stay away from it. Action comics isn't bad though, and I enjoy Unchained Bats/Supes and WW/Supes though

But yeah Saga is amazing. Probably the best title right now.

Vertigo just because.

bump

Image.

I think Image has the highest quality of titles I've read this year.

Lazarus, Saga, East of West and Jupiter's Legacy are all pretty great.

Image has been damn near flawless. I'm slowly becoming less and less interested in DC while becoming more interested in Marvel. Maybe when DC announce some new titles that'll change.

...bump :D

need moar votes

The same thing is happening to me. The only thing keeping me with DC is Batman and Forever Evil. Forever Evil is barely keeping my attention. Marvel just has a large variety of titles, so there is something for everyone. Especially with the Marvel Now and Now. going on. Combining this with the amazing event Marvel just had and Image continuously releasing great titles. DC REALLY needs to step its game up.....

Interesting. I find Marvel terribly underwhelming right now. I've had to struggle just to keep a respectable pull list.

It was as low as 2 titles this year from them.

I'm back at 10 now, but I had to break down and finally buy USM (miles) and SSM, something which I am pretty against in concepts...but given that Peter is dead and Flash and Kaine got canceled I have nothing else.

Batman isn't even that good, you need to branch out in DC. Green Arrow, Aquaman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Animal Man...etc

I tried quite a few of their titles. They just didn't really interest me like that. I was really into Aquaman but kinda fell off of it. Can you recommend a starting point for some of the titles you named? Maybe, they have gotten more interesting.

Image.

Valiant

@infamous_wolf: Aquaman got better and better...dunno what you're talking about :P. Loved it from the 1st issue, I'd recommend that tbh. Otherwise 18 is when Death of a King starts, my favorite arc of the year.

Flash also too I enjoyed the entire run. But you can start at issue 20 to read Reverse-Flash arc (his villain's month issue is also a tie in)

Wonder Woman is a little harder, since its all one big story right now. I'd have to go back and reread it to give you a good answer.

Green ARrow - start at issue 17 when Jeff Lemire / Andrea Sorrentino took over. Utterly excellence.

Swamp Thing and Animal Man I'd read both or neither, as they're sort of sister books. I enjoyed the whole run of both, but I'd recommend starting at least issue 12 of each so you can read the Rotworld crossover, which was probably the best event of 2012.

bump xD

VOTE IN MY POLLS D:

BUMP!

The conversations have been stable here and not fanboy vs fanboy like the usual threads like these. Plus this needs more votes!

@transformers1024: xD

Thanks. I actually forgot about this because it kind of died lol
