Fantastic artist and all-around righteous dude Michael Sieben has illustrated a big, beautiful edition of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. It’s a match made in heaven! Come check out the gorgeous new book and hang out with Michael on Sunday, February 17th.
If you are like me and have been feeling like a grumpasaurus lately, you should watch this. Then you will feel like a happy person.

Happy new year! There have been oodles of good books already for 2013…
Avengers Arena #3
One of my favorite Marvel NOW! books. I don’t really know any of the characters, but the art is gorgeous and the story very dark and entertaining. Very worth picking up!
Ghost #3
A fantastic mystery, keeps me looking forward to the next issue. Plus, two words: Phil Noto.
Legend of Luther Strode #2
Gratuitous violence done right!
Punisher War Zone #3
Frank Castle vs a different Avenger each issue. Every one has been top notch so far.
Superior Spider-Man #1
Dan Slott, you have earned my trust with a stellar run on Amazing, so I’m just gonna go wherever you take us with this.
Sweet Tooth #40
A satisfying end to one of my very favorite series. I will miss you, Gussy.
Thor: God Of Thunder #4
For my money, the best of all the Marvel NOW! titles. Sooo beautiful, so creepy.
Runners-Up: Star Wars #1, Adventure Time #11, Wolverine and the X-Men #23
