The Year of Comic Books in Review - Part Eight (August)

Only two nominees from August for "Best Comic Book of 2003 according to Bloggity-Blog-Blog-Blog". One I got through the mail, after checking out Fintan Studios website because of an intriguing banner ad. The other one is the final bit of one of last month's choices.

The forgotten is the tale of a Chicago super-hero in a post-superhero world, living a forgotten life. It's actually a pretty amazing story, and even more amazing is how well it holds together with three different artists. It's a crime comic with some superpowers thrown in, and it's worth checking out.

The other nominee would be The Amazing Spider-Man, again. This is the second part of the story started last month, and one of my favorites in the series so far. Yeah, it has flaws, but there's a new message in this one that I like to see. Actions have consequences, even if you are the good guy.

So the nominees for August are: the forgotten and Amazing Spider-Man #56/497.
