THE GEEEEK AWARDS [Best Comics of 2022] – JLA vs. Avengers!

1. The Human Target - Here, Tom King & Greg Smallwood take another nearly forgotten DC character, give every appearance of intravenously injecting all narrative content from Brubaker/Phillips in the past twenty years cross-blended with the Giffen/DeMatteis JLI run, then blast out the most obvious thing fully formed and nearly vibrating off the page, resonant …
