Happy New Year, BSS goons.



Some of us will choose to make New Years' Resolutions, but what do we think our favourite superheroes would resolve to do for the new year? You decide!

John Constantine's new year's resolutions.
1. Quit smoking
2. Quit drinking
3. make amends with his sister.
4. Stop bollocksing about with demons that could destroy him with a snap of their fingers.

Naturally he'll fail all of them.

EDIT: Norman Osborne's resolutions
1. Kill Spider-Man
2. Hire a shrink
3. Kill the shrink he currently has
4. Kill Spider-Man

Since it's the start of a New Year here's my Top 10 Ongoings that ran for at least 4 months in 2018. There are a handful that couldn't even get issues out quarterly which was the bare minimum I was willing to give. Disappointing.


10 Birthright - Joshua Williamson
9 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Tom Waltz/Kevin Eastman/Bobby Curnow
8 Lost City Explorers - Zack Kaplan
7 Bloodshot Salvation - Jeff Lemire
6 Babyteeth - Donny Cates
5 X-23 - Mariko Tamaki
4 Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man - Chip Zdarsky
3 Black Bolt - Saladin Ahmed
2 X-O Manowar - Matt Kindt
1 Mighty Thor/Thor - Jason Aaron

Me alphabetically arranged 10 fave 2018 ongoings+minis (in caps cause I'm pasting out of the shipping thread)

BLACK BOLT
THE BRAVE & THE BOLD (Liam Sharp's mini)
DEATH OR GLORY
THE DREAMING
EXIT STAGE LEFT THE SNAGGLEPUSS CHRONICLES
THE IMMORTAL HULK
MECH CADET YU
MISTER MIRACLE
SHADE THE CHANGING WOMAN
WILD STORM

Since they only had a couple of issues out during the year, special mention to:
the last Hawkeye run
Southern Bastards
Electric Warriors
Grant Morrison's The Green Lantern

A few indies went from new releases to trade sale waiting/the backlog in 2018. I'd probably have one or two more in the top if I kept up.

If I remember correctly she was killed by her husband and John was able go get her out of hell but she agreed to stay to take part of her husbands punishment.He did have a part in it as he was the reason he was targeted and it was done by his demon spawn kids. I love Carey’s run so much

Constantine is, as always, to blame. He made the deal that caused it all to happen.

ꜱʜʀɪᴍᴘ?
I don't know if this is where people post about new releases?? Spoilered just in case.

Champions #1 was a letdown as someone looking for more Miles content, I'm not sure if it's just a book for younger audiences? I didn't read much of the last run. Man Without Fear #1 was okay but there's nothing that makes me want to follow it, Daredevil battling his inner demons in the mindscape isn't particularly fresh. Conan #1 was pretty good, in that it's Conan and Conan is doing Conan stuff. I'm enjoying Marvel Knights but I genuinely have no idea how Donny Cates is going to wrap this up in one issue. Also I feel like a dummy because I went in on the connecting variants for Marvel Knights because the first one was fantastic, and the rest have been bad to okay. I mean this is just bizarre:



Action and Immortal Hulk continue to be fantastic.
