"Every year we talk about what a challenging year the real world had, and how great the comics were in response, so this year we thought we'd try something different. The comics were lousy! Just kidding, the comics were great, but it's certainly something to pair this slate of comics with the tiny glimmers of hope the real world started to let peek through in 2022.
And this is a truly great slate of books, too. We've got standard superhero fare, which seems to get bigger, weirder, and better every year. We've got the deeply personal, slice of life books full of self reflection and quiet moments, done in the brilliant way only the finest cartoonists can do. We've got high energy books that are the product of a singular vision, that could only be made by the right person telling the perfect story for them at a key point in their comics career; and we've got the big huge event books that are the culmination of years of work by hundreds of creators across an entire publisher."
