Still working on my list, but I've got a suggestion for another miscellaneous category: Most Improved. I imagine it could be most improved series, writer, publisher, artist, etc. For example this year, I would give most improved to the Aquaman series. The art switch to Sejic really elevated Dan Abnett's writing, and the whole series moved from average to must-read.

[drew]

That’s a good idea I like it

[NiklasJ]

DC:

Dont read much DC and frankly all the (unearned) positive press is offputting
everything after DC uni rebirth has been just the same mess as Nu52 before it, not going anywhere. Saturn girl...

Still theres good stuff to be found, Green Lanterns, Detective comics and a for me new comic in Wildstorm are my takes

Favorite Series (New or continuing)- Green Lanterns (two new lanterns with little history in dc, good for those that dont read all DC)
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc- Wildstorm #1 (cool scifi action stuff)
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc)- James S Tynion (?) Detective comics
Book you wish more people read- Green Lanterns
Book you wish they would publish- Legends of Tomorrow

Marvel:

So much marvel, have cut number of titles but they publish more often instead avengers, spiderman and xmen. I think fewer titles in marvel as a whole also which i think is good. Iron Fist and jessica jones and moon knight and thanos and dr strange should also be mentioned

Favorite Series (New or continuing)- Spectacular SpiderMan
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc- Hulk (SheHulk) #1-#6
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc)- Brian Bendis (Jesica Jones, Defenders, Iron Manx2)
Book you wish more people read- Secret Warriors
Book you wish they would publish- Doom 2099

Image:

My weekly list gets shorter since i get more and more image titles but they wont publish their books very often... lots of awesomeness still, monstress, lazarus, seven to eternity, injection, newcomer old guard was good also

Favorite Series (New or continuing)- Monstress
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc- Injection TPB #3 (issues 12-15 i think?)
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc)- Rick Remender (Seven to eternity)
Book you wish more people read- Low
Book you wish they would publish- Lazarus (publish more often!!)

Other Publishers: (so I cheated...)

Have you joined the Slack channel? Yes.
Have you ever submitted a Previews Spotlight Clip? Yes.
Has the Comic Book Page podcast added any comics to your reading list? If so, which comics and why? Many. Between Previews Spotlight and Weekly Comics Spotlight a sampling of titles I picked up include Mech Cadet Yu, Librarians, and recently Gotham City Garage. GC Garage I had no interest in or intention of even trying until it was reviewed. I picked up the first few issues to give it a shot and really enjoyed it.

Additional Comments- 2017 was a tough year for me personally and I read roughly half as many books as last year due to time constraints. Looking forward to 2018 and I appreciate all of the effort that goes into the podcasts. Thanks.

Additional Comments

I want to thank John and the crew for such a great year with podcasts, slack channel participation, and more.

I also want to thank John for the teleconference each and every month. I try to attend when I can each month. Getting a chance to talk about comics and pop culture with you all is a great treat. It is one of my favorite times in every month. So thanks for that.

I also encourage anyone again who wants to try their local library for comics you may have missed, please do so. See also if your library has Hoopla. It is a great digital experience for checking out comics in issue or trade forms. Hoopla now has publishers like Marvel and DC all the way to Fantagraphics and Titan.

I look forward to a great 2018 from the Comic Book Page. Thank you again John! Big shoutout also to Eric (Kowabunga) and Jason (from Hawaii). I appreciate you both! We have the best comics community on the internet.

P.S. Read more manga (to Drew) !
