Your Favorite Things of the Year! (Est. 2017)

[Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod)]

In previous years, this was a memory box so we didn't miss any good nominations for the Cappies. With the Cappies hypertimed away, that doesn't mean we have to discontinue these threads. I've always liked going back at the end of the year and seeing the books and stories and moments that people really champion -- including plenty of stuff that I've forgotten about come Christmastime. 

So have at it, Legionnaires! It's a bold new year! What in 2017 has knocked you out?

This volume collects Convergence: Swamp Thing #1-2, Swamp Thing #1-6 and the Swamp Thing Winter Special, as well as the never-before-collected Swamp Thing (v2) #94 & #100 (Kelley Jones' debut on the character) and Batman #521-522 by Doug Moench and Jones (guest-starring  Swamp Thing),  plus the unpublished layouts with surviving pencils for Len wein & Bernie Wrightson's never-complete return to the character, Swamp Thing: Deja Vu.

In this week's Comics Guide, Captain Comics said: "This is by far the best Spectre series ever written, addressing with deep thought and great finesse the theological aspects of 'The Wrath of God.' And I'm a fan of the Ghostly Guardian when he's badly written! Plus, this is the best work Tom Mandrake has ever done, and he is superbly suited to the material. So yes, I'll get this book for a proper re-read. It collects The Spectre (third series) #0-31."

'Nuff said!

Oh, man. That Spectre omnibus is really tempting!
