Dave's Rants Archive - 2013
Last Updated 12/30/13
All reviews copyright 2013 by Dave Van Domelen
Given the smaller number of books I reviewed in 2013, I
decided not to do a separate Best Of 2013 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.
