2005 Comic Book Highlights

The cover pictured is Jonah Hex. One of the first comic books I read. It's listed as the second most promising debut for 2005. To wit;
"...Gray and Palmiotti show an eloquence and wit here I haven’t seen in their HAWKMAN work, while Ross ably retains the essence of the Jonah Hex character through his likeness and acting while still bringing a freshness to the series. While it could probably be said that this new JONAH HEX series shows more than a little DEADWOOD influence, one could probably make the argument that DEADWOOD bears at least a little JONAH HEX influence itself. Either way, smart, powerful Western comics don’t come along very often, so everybody support this one so it stays around a good long while."

Check out other highlights of 2005 from the link.

I wonder what's Budjette's take on this? Or even Mark's... Oh and guys? Any recap on how 2005 treated the world of Philippine comics?

Oh and here's the second part of the post.
