Here are the winners from the Elite 8 from all of the Regions!
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Bunny Drop volume 1
Don’t be fooled by the cutesy title — Bunny Drop is a wonderful comic about how we finally learn to grow up in more ways than we ever could have imagined.
Committed: Event Banner Envy
There’s a dilution of the bold and uncompromising design of comic books, and it is the event banner. Last year there were event banners scattered across the face of nearly every DC title, and they were a mess.
Paolo Rivera’s Wacky References #100!!
Over on his cool blog, The Self-Absorbing Man, Paolo Rivera has been doing a really brilliant regular feature on the site called “Wacky References.” Basically, Rivera shares with us some of the wacky poses that he photographs so that he can later reference them when he produces his artwork (and if you’ve seen his artwork, [...]

Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: The Legacy of Dick Giordano
News of Dick Giordano’s passing spread quite quickly through the comic book community. In the past few days, many have lauded him for his unique mixture of professionalism and talent. I can’t really add much more to the chorus of praise, but I would be remiss if I didn’t take the opportunity to pay my [...]

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Ristorante Paradiso
This new one shot from Natsume Ono is a perfect little palette cleanser. Unlike her previous work, not simple (which I reviewed here), life in this work isn’t one soul-crushing defeat after another as Ono takes a much more gentle and palatable approach to loss and love.
Comic Theme Time – Characters That I Don’t Feel Safe Showing Up Again (Plus Others That I Do)
Again, the concept for this bit is that there are certain topics that I’ve considered for Top Fives that when I go to narrow it down, it strikes me that there are just way too many good ones for me to truly narrow it down to five, so rather than miss out on highlighting these [...]
She Has No Head! – Kitty Pryde: Saviour Of Everything?
There was a pretty good discussion in the comments of my last post, as well as another CSBG post last week about superhero comics and the issues related to appealing to both men and women, boys and girls. Rather than get into a superheated battle over it, I thought rather I’d offer up a mini-series [...]
