Well, it’s that time of year again so for this edition of Best Of… we’re going to look at, well, the best of 2013 as we see it. Below we’ve got our categories and nominees for the Best of 2013. We’ve had multiple voting behind the scenes with the All-Comic Crew, and some of these nominees just barely made it in, it was that close. There’s so many great comics and creators that one list just can’t cover it all, unfortunately. The list below is simply what we’ve whittled it down to from over (+/-) 10 nominees in each category. Keep reading comics, and keep trying new things. There is so much more out there that we can’t even begin to do it justice.

But let’s get to it. Next week we’re going to reveal the winners in this years Best of… 2013 as voted by the All-Comic Crew in a secret vote where even they won’t know who’s going to win. At the same time, we want to hear from you comic worshipers out there so you’re going to get to vote on our nominees too! It won’t be secret, but it will be interesting to compare next week. Just scroll down to the bottom and vote for your favorite from our nominees.
