I’ve already had my favourite comic of the year (Punk Rock Jesus) but this choice goes to my favourite Graphic Novel of the year – The Underwater Welder.

So it turns out that two of the best books of the DCNew52 relaunch are not actually proper DC books after all. With DC pinching more and more of if its imprint ideas, it goes to show that Vertigo is really where they should be focusing their attention – but I’ve already had my big Vertigo rant a few days ago, so let’s talk about the comics instead!

A couple of months back I wrote a review on the digital comic Avengers vs. X-Men: Infinite #1, heralding it as the future of digital comics and singing Marvel’s praises for being the first to think outside of the box with digital comics. The same week I also downloaded and read DC’s new Smallville comic, but didn’t review this because it would have probably consisted of me banging my fist against the keyboard. Repeatedly. This week however, saw the first in a series of original Batman digital comics, titled Legends of the Dark Knight, and since it involved 3 of my favourite people (Batman, Jeff Lemire and Damon Lindelof) I was pretty excited to read it.

After that blood and guts ridden, pet-necromancing family affair of a debut issue, it’s so nice to see that Animal Man’s super-shit-hot team of writer Jeff LeMire, artist Travel Foreman and colourist Lovern Kindzierski have decided to give us a nice light fluffy pink issue #2. Oh no wait, those pink bits are crazy intestine tentacle insides….

Despite my usual preference for monsters of all shapes and sizes I gave the Frankenstein Flashpoint tie-in a wide berth – Lemire was not a writer I was familiar with and I doubted that it would fit in to the overall story in an important way. Some pals who had read it agreed with my impression and so it was forgotten.

Remember the first comic book that grabbed you by the ears, french kissed you and then set you upon the road to wrack and ruin (hanging around Castlemilk and being too skint to buy a pint as you spent all your money on comics)? Yes ?
