Panel Vision - Top 10 Comics of 2015

And so 2015 comes to an end, the comics landscape a severely different place than it was but a year ago.  Marvel is caught in the throws of its first reboot, Star Wars comics are on shelves and the best they’ve ever been, Valiant is in the headlines, Prez is back from obscurity, and the DC You is a thing.  Yes it’s been a year full of change as well as a great year for comics.  Seriously, despite the very important points raised over issues of representation, creator rights and credit, and harassment that have blighted the industry this past year there has been a lot of great comics and we’re here today to list them because that’s how we mark the end of the year.  So with that said here are the top 10 best comics of 2015.

Panel Vision - Comic Book Apocalypses

So, Fallout 4 has just been unlocked to the unwashed masses of planet Internet, which most likely means this article won’t be read by many but if you’re one of the few without access to this next great step in human achievement, this is for you.  The release of Fallout got me thinking about apocalypse/post-apocalypses, one of the most interesting elements of fiction while simultaneously one of the most under-explored.  Apocalypse and post-apocalypse fiction is fascinating as a template but often filled up with the same exploration of robots, aliens, zombies, and wastelands, there’s very little variation is my point.  So, because I endeavor to shine the light of obscure nerdy knowledge into the darkness of mundanity these are 10 comic book apocalypses and post-apocalyptic wastelands I’ve chosen to spotlight, I’m not going in any specific order or value set, they’re just a bunch of doomsdays that are worth sharing. 

Panel Vision: Top 10 Ghost Fleet Panels

Hello and welcome to Panel Vision.  This is where I plan to cover comic related stuff I normally wouldn’t on my usual platform over at Front Towards Gamer.  This means stuff like older comic reviews, editorials, stuff I don’t have the space to review at Front Towards Gamer, and top 10 lists. 

So to start this new blog I though I’d continue to celebrate my favorite comic of 2015: Ghost Fleet.
