Best of 2014

It was so hard to choose here so I had to make myself two sets of lists because things that qualify as my favorite don't necessarily fit into a category. I also decided to limit myself in giving titles to releases and people. I wanted to stick with things that really represented 2014 in comics. For me, there was so much new and exciting stuff. So many artists and writers that stuck out in my mind. Yet here it is! These items and people are what stand out in my mind as COMICS in 2014!
