    Best New Character: The Quiet Man (Robinson's Fantastic Four)
    The bolded one is so true. Including the statement in open and close parenthesis.

    Deodato is awesome!

    From what I've read: Spider-Verse, Spider Gwen and Superior Foes of Spider-Man. Also enjoyed Winter Soldier: The Bitter March,

    Ms. Marvel and Mighty Avengers/Cap and the Mighty Avengers.

    I've been a big advocate for Marvel using their minority characters and when they finally did decide to launch some books that speak directly to minority characters they ended up being the best books they publish. I'd like to include Young Avengers but I wasn't a huge fan so maybe a couple of them could join the MA. Specifically Ms. America and Marvel Boy.

    I thought Ghost Rider started out strong but I already had a large pull list so I dropped it since I've never been a hige fan of the concept in general.

    She Hulk was great while it lasted.

    I've been really into Miracleman.

    Oh and Shang Chi had some pretty cool left field moments this year. Giant Shang Chi and the Shang Chi army totally tripped my fanboy switch.
    Pull List:

    Marvel Comics: Venom, X-Men, Black Panther, Captain America, Eternals, Warhammer 40000.
    DC Comics: The Last God

    All New Captain America - Marvel pulled the trigger and made Captain America black in a way that was logical, but while still making a bold statement on diversity. That's going to be one of my top moments for sure.

    Ms. Marvel - went in expecting little, found the spiritual successor to Spider-Man in this fun title.

    New Avengers/Avengers - EPIC multiversal storytelling. I should be brain dead for how many times my mind has been blown following Hickman's epic. I think this is one of those stories that we'll all look back on years down the line.

    I think the best thing for Marvel yet has been Captain America 2. This film really broadened the horizons for superhero movies in general. Comics wise, I'm gonna go with Ms. Marvel for sure, it's a really important book. I also really like the new Moon Knight and all the different elements Warren Ellis is bringing to the table with it. Then, it'd be Falcon as Cap. The action of making Falcon the new Cap is really cool to me, but Remender's bad writing is just killing it. Then I'm gonna say Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier because this book is really a fun new twist on Winter Soldier, the art is so phenomenal, and the writing is sensible, deep when it needs to be and very well paced. It's almost kind of like Guardians of the Galaxy for a more adult audience.

    3. Ellis on Moon Knight
    4. Magneto
    5. X-Force (Spurrier)
    6. Elektra
    7. Soule's work on She-Hulk
    8. Elektra

    Same deal for me. Storm's solo book and her getting more prominent roles in X-Men made this my favorite, though not perfect, year in comics for me.
    Be the change you wish to see in the world.
