ALIENS FIRE AND STONE #4 (Dark Horse Comics)

Aliens fire & Stone concluded with another big piece of the puzzle revealed. I like this story line a lot. pic.twitter.com/pXRH47koWK

ALL NEW X-FACTOR #39 (Marvel Comics)

Every time I read All-New X-factor, I’m bummed that more people aren’t and it got cancelled. It’s so damn good. Sigh. #comics #ncbd

ALL NEW X-MEN ANNUAL #1 (Marvel Comics)

Oh man the All new X-Men Annual was really great. pic.twitter.com/YKCQIkqxKE

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 25, 2014

All-New X-men Annual 1 is an entirely different time travel story that happens immediately before the UXM time travel story. Meh. #ncbd

ARKHAM MANOR #3 (DC Comics)

Arkham Manor is intense and the art style has really grown on me. I like this series a lot. pic.twitter.com/fobTZI7Rxs

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 25, 2014

Arkham Manor was the best kind of creepy. I’m glad we got this series, but sad it’s already been cancelled. pic.twitter.com/6FPJDvGJb6

AVENGERS AND X-MEN AXIS #9 (Marvel Comics)

Wow that was an action packed final issue of Axis. I need to read this again to figure out how it all landed. pic.twitter.com/MHMAro7kKf

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 24, 2014

Axis 9 was a pretty satisfying end to the crossover. Lots of things changed, and it’s IMHO one of the best recent x-overs. #comics #ncbd

— Comical Podcast (@ComicalPodcast) December 24, 2014

Axis concludes just like it existed, terribly. pic.twitter.com/KIESHjq9q2

— Chase Magnett (@ReverendMagnett) December 25, 2014

Axis had a decent conclusion, but these sorts of sentiments from Thor will make for an awkward Christmas dinner. pic.twitter.com/TU35ie9OH5

BATMAN ANNUAL #3 (DC Comics)

The Batman Annual gave me chills. I do love a good Joker story. pic.twitter.com/KWnb7Y1Om6

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 24, 2014

Batman Annual 3 is a really cool Joker story. It loosely ties into endgame, but is great as a standalone too. #comics #ncbd

BLACK SCIENCE #11 (Image Comics)

Another great issue of Black Science. Amazing book. The wait for the next issue is going to be brutal! pic.twitter.com/TdubBghSFn

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 24, 2014

BLACK SCIENCE #11: Sad to see Dean White go on colors, but still a very kinetic series with an incredibly strong voice.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) December 24, 2014

Black Science continues to be propulsive, surprising, and an absolute delight. Can’t wait for its return in spring. pic.twitter.com/lG2q1jSnqc

— Chase Magnett (@ReverendMagnett) December 25, 2014

Black Science is some of the biggest, most intense, gorgeous scifi you’ll read. Another great issue this month. pic.twitter.com/O4ZH7a1Lv2

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 25, 2014

CAPTAIN AMERICAN AND THE MIGHTY AVENGERS #3 (Marvel Comics)

Cap and the Mighty Avengers 3 is a little behind in the AXIS timeline, but it’s still pretty good. #comics #ncbd

C.O.W.L. #7 (Image Comics)

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 24, 2014

C.O.W.L. #7: The politics of superheroics, frightening opening scene, love the maps and big reveal, a totally underrated gem.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) December 24, 2014

COWL follows up the cliffhanger of #5 perfectly. I have high expectations for this series’ future. pic.twitter.com/LbeusAS0Xd

DAREDEVIL #11 (Marvel Comics)

Daredevil never fails to tug at the heart strings. pic.twitter.com/OAn22JfXzl

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 25, 2014

— Chase Magnett (@ReverendMagnett) December 25, 2014

DEADPOOL $39 (Marvel Comics)

Deadpool 39 is another great introspective look at Wade’s life. He really tries hard to be a good person. I love it. #comics #comedy #ncbd

— Comical Podcast (@ComicalPodcast) December 24, 2014

DEATH OF WOLVERINE: THE LOGAN LEGACY #7 (Marvel Comics)

In the end, DoW: Logan Legacy is a cop-out that forces you to pick up “The Wolverines” to finish the story. I’m dissapointed. #comics #ncbd

— Comical Podcast (@ComicalPodcast) December 24, 2014

EVIL EMPIRE #9 (BOOM! Studios)

Evil Empire 9 is just great. I love these one-shot stories about other people during the EE movement and this is a great one. #comics #ncbd

GRINDHOUSE: DRIVE IN, BLEED OUT #2: R. M. Guera is one of those “could illustrate the phone book” artists.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) December 24, 2014

HAWKEYE VS DEADPOOL #3 (Marvel Comics)

There are legit laugh out loud moments in Hawkeye vs Deadpool. This has been a really fun mini series to read. pic.twitter.com/qIkfHrW2XI

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 24, 2014

LETTER 44 #13: Well, that was a hell of a press conference! Also really dug little things like the alien speech patterns.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) December 24, 2014

LOKI AGENT OF ASGARD #9 (Marvel Comics)

I thought Loki was going to be a filler issue not worth picking up this week, I was wrong, a really fun read. pic.twitter.com/sWOt6qNkPW

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) December 25, 2014

Loki 9 elaborates on the battle between Thor and Loki from Axis 9. It’s good, though I wish it had ended a little differently. #comics #ncbd

Memetic was everything I want from a mini-series: fast paced, twisted, and unique. pic.twitter.com/zKToUnYuDN

Memetic was a seriously nutty series. It went to places I didn’t think it would go. pic.twitter.com/Wf62Rq7GFr

Secret Avengers 11 brings the story a little closer to the climax. I’m really enjoying this one! #ncbd #comics
