Actually we still have about 7 hours left of this lovely year. You just jinxed everything. Edit: best annual was the elseworld annual for Legends of the Dark Knight called citizen Wayne and imagined Batman in the movie of Citizen Kane.

New Mutants Annual #3 is one of my favourite single issues of any comic.

The Annuals crossing over Hanna-Barbera and DC are maybe the comics I'm most looking forward to this year.

My favorite is Fantastic Four Volume 1 Annual 3 - when Reed and Sue get married.

Too bad this is the last year for annuals. 🤓 My favorite annual is the bloodlines annuals because I haven't read them and they sound like batshit insane crap.

Everyone knows the only good annuals were the ones from that year that Marvel decided that every single one needed a new character. Complete with polybagging and trading cards. It gave us such great characters as X-Cutioner, Bloodwraith, Wildstreak, Darkling and Cadre. It also gave us the best character in comics, ADAM X!

Bloodwraith has been trapped within the borders of a small Balkan country where Ultron killed everybody for almost 20 years at this point.

I loved any annuals drawn by Arthur Adams: Uncanny X-Men Annual #9 (concluding the Asgard storyline from the New Mutants Special Edition), #10 (introducing Longshot), and #12. His art was such a cut above, they seemed like bigger, more important events. The first four G.I. Joe Yearbooks were pretty great, back in the day. By the late '80s and throughout the '90s, annuals seemed like more of an unnecessary cash grab, with untested creative teams (especially artists) behind inconsequential crossovers and low-level "events."

I liked the one that ran through the annuals of Hulk, All New X-Men, and Spock. Spock gave some advice to the time displaced X-Men and it was the only time I ever really liked them.RevKrule posted:Everyone knows the only good annuals were the ones from that year that Marvel decided that every single one needed a new character. Complete with polybagging and trading cards. DC did that too, with the Bloodpack(iirc?). The only lasting impression any of them made was that Ennis made fun of the guy who could turn anything into a gun in Hitman One Million.

I was thinking recently, if they made an Expendables where they fight a gang of supervillains who have teamed up to conquer the world, who would be the leader of the villains: Malcolm McDowell or Jeremy Irons?

I imagine that in this hypothetical movie, all of the henchmen would be clones of Tim Roth and Mark Strong.

The lead bad guy would be John Malkovich. It's always John Malkovich.

Magneto's powers work on all metals, even if they're not magnetic. "Metal" doesn't mean anything in nature. It's just an arbitrary categorization humans made up. The only logical explanation for this is that Magneto's power restrictions must be psychosomatic. Why would his natural, biological evolution powers be bound by human language? English isn't even his first language. So here's my big event story concept: Magneto has a telepathic mutant (Quire? Doesn't matter who) manipulate his thoughts so that he is absolutely 100% convinced that all elements are metals, and holds the Earth hostage. In one issue he tears Hulk into individual atoms, but Hulk's atoms get so mad they re-form. The good guys win when a bunch of super geniuses invent a new element, and Magneto's ignorance of it means he can't control it and they use it to punch him in the face. It's highly unstable though, so whoever wears the Infinitum Gauntlet is sacrificing themselves to the incredible radiation. Nobody who is immune to radiation volunteers because every event needs a body count.

Reed Richards would confront him with a wooden gun, and it would leave Magneto so spiritually and mentally broken he agrees to come quietly.
