Your Two Cents: The Best And Why

Olympic fever has hit - athletes from around the world fight to be the best of the best.

Comic book fans know that being the best sales wise matters but so does fandom. How many times have books with average or below average sales managed to survive or come back from projected publishing death?

So I ask PK comic fans.

What book, that doesn't crack the top ten, is the best comic out there and why?

What is your favorite comic book underdog?

Thunderbolts. It has been amazing ever since Ellis reimagined it, and it looks to get even better after Secret Invasion. Ellis's dark humor was the perfect match for a team led by Norman Osborn.

Captain Britain and MI: 13. Even with the sales boost that SI is giving to a lot of the other tie-ins, I think this may remain an underdog.

It also had probably the strongest debut issue Marvel has offered in a long, long time.

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
