Dave's Rants Archive - 2014

All reviews copyright 2014 by Dave Van Domelen
While I got more books in 2014 than 2013, there's still not
enough to be worth doing a separate Best Of 2014 post. Just look for bolded
stuff below with asterisks.
Comics of note (Strongly recommended or better, usually) will be in
boldface, with an asterisk if they're Strongly Recommended. While
most of my reviews are spoiler-free capsules, the occasional full review will
be underlined. Categories of material are "Other
Media" (not actually comics, but comics-related), Digital Comics, Trades and Graphic
Novels. Any monthlies I still get will be in regular old black.
