The year's not quite over yet and I voted prematurely. If it's possible to change a vote, please subtract my vote for Mister Miracle, the series that I took so personally, and replace it with Heroes in Crisis, which is absolutely destroying me.
Could have voted MM, Doomsday Clock, Snyder's Justice League, King's Batman, Russell's Snagglepuss, or Way's Doom Patrol. They're each some of my favorite comic runs of all time. But with the benefit of the latest issue of Heroes in Crisis, I can safely say that with the three issues we've gotten it has surpassed the others as my favorite book of 2018. It may be my top book of 2019 too though Batman and Doomsday Clock are incredible to me.
I've heard a few fans in my LCS complain King writes the same story again and again. For them that's a negative and they're sick of it. But for me, even though Vision, Batman, Mister Miracle, and Heroes in Crisis are all to do with exploring trauma, I can't get enough. I take his writing so personally. He's become like the comic book writing version of my forever-favorite playwright, Samuel Beckett, who also explored the same themes in every single one of his plays.
