What was your favorite series of 2012?

Mine was a tie between Batman by Scott Snyder and The Amazing Spider-Man by Dan Slott. What are yours? Also if you can, include your favorite issue of the year. Mine's either Batman #13 or Amazing Spider-Man #700.

Mine is the same as yours.

My favorite series has been Geoff John's Aquaman, particularly The Others arc.

As for my favorite issue, Action Comics #9 is one of my favorite issues of all time, despite the atrocious art and Superman not appearing in a single panel. Action Comics #13 has a mediocre main story, but the short back-up feature is the first piece of entertainment to bring a tear to my eye since the ending of Toy Story 3.

I really enjoy every issue of All new X-men. I really didnt expect to like this series at first. but now im really glad that i tried it and now its one of my all time fave. Oh and also batman inc.

• Death of A family
• Amazing Spider Man 700
• All New X-Men
• Aquaman/ Justice League crossover
• Hawkeye

I notice alot of people choosing things that only existed for the last few months as their "best of 2012". I looked back at those earlier months trying to find something that had been consistantly good for the entire year. Early 2012 was indeed a bit of a slump, with much of New52 kinda lagging and the first wave of cancelations hitting.

I think for the entire year of 2012, the best run was Avengers Academy. Christos Gage consistantly knocked that one out of the park. Good characters. Good stories. It even survived a crossover with AvX without it starting to stink.

Scalped by Aaron and Guera (my favorite series of the last few years) All Star Western by Palmiotto and Gray, Aquaman by Johns, Before Watchmen: Minutemen by Crooke, TMNT by Eastman and Waltz, Earth 2 by Robinson.

Favorite series were Winter Soldier, Swamp Thing, Hawkeye, and Fatale in that order.

Favorite issue was Hawkeye 3.
