January 23, 2014Best of 2013 Podcast – Part Two
It’s PART TWO of that time of year again! Time for us to argue with each other over which comics were the best of 2013!
We reviewed 297 comics, graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and minicomics in 2013 on our podcast, and we all individually read hundreds more! From all our input, we came up with a huge list of the best of the year, which we broke into categories. (We covered a bunch on our Best of 2013 Part One podcast already!) So anything that we discuss on this podcast are some of the best of the year, and very worth checking out! Then we argued it out live on the podcast to come out with the top 10 for each category.
And then, from those top 10, we picked a top 3, and then our pick for best of the year!
Who won? Listen to find out!
