It was the best of times, it was the worst of times 2011 edition.

      Penciled Page to Spell #2

     It actually was not my favorite year, but it is always a win when the good out weights the bad. I finally got the ball rolling and put a book out, The good is I got off my lazy ass and did something I am proud of. I am by far my worst critic, I will trash my work with the best of them. I see all my mistakes and it drives me crazy, but at the end of the day I feel like I accomplished a book I can stand by. Now on to the next book.

      I had a total of 115 posts on PsychoRelik this year and over 13,000 hits, including photos from NYCC. I can not believe the support and must thank you all. This year I plan on so much more, I am hoping to release a new Spell book quarterly and may have recruited a few people to help out with the second issue in the way of a back up story and pin-ups. Trust me,  it will be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get a table this year at New York Comic Con and once I have details I will post news on this development. Enough about me, now for a review of the best and the worst of 2011... 

Publisher of the Year: D.C. Comics

Runners Up: IDW Publishing And Image Comics

This was the easiest choice I have made in my life. Hands down D.C. has come back with a vengeance and has blown the competition away. I just hope that holds true for 2012, it would really be hard to swallow if all this work on The New 52 went to waste.

Title of the Year: Aquaman #1-4 

Runners Up: Morning Glories (Image Comics) & Voodoo (D.C. Comics)

Please, who seen that coming? No really, this by far was one of the hottest of the releases from D.C. comics. You do not know Aquaman, trust me on this. A must have book and with a sneak peek of what is to come in 2012 from this book I don't think it will let us down.

Artist of the Year: It's a Tie!!! Sana Takeda (X-23, Ms. Marvel) & Greg Capullo (The Haunt, Batman)

Runners Up: David Finch, Ivan Reis, Jim Lee, Joe Maduera, Marc Silvestri, Joe Eisma, Tyler Kirkham, Rodin Esquejo...and so many others

Losers of the Year:

Publisher: Marvel Comics

Title: X-Titles some good material but so much material the good is basically forgotten. Lets bring it down to about 8 X books a year instead of 20 plus

Artist: Any artist that touches a Knights of the Old Republic book from Dark Horse Comics...Sorry guys!!!

Now another glimpse into the future of PsychoRelik and Spell #2
