Now that we are officially in 2013, and to keep up with our ‘Best of 2012’ blogs, I wanted to take a look back at the video games and comic books that made 2012 so awesome. In 2012, we saw some great video games, as well as some really big comic book events. The Wii U was released, DC’s New 52 is now in full force, and Marvel NOW! has continued to throw out some really big titles. Here is my breakdown of the ‘Best of 2012’:

LEGO’s Avengers Poster
In the wake of the successful superhero movies and other pop culture phenomena, LEGO followed suite by releasing its line of superhero play sets earlier this year. In my opinion, these sets are a fantastic move on LEGO’s part. What a great way to bring the superhero culture to a different industry. The mini-figures area incredibly well-done. The likeness to the real thing is uncanny. However, these sets have been immensely popular. The sets feature Marvel’s Avengers, DC characters such as Batman and Superman, and even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have made their way into LEGO form. The sets have been selling very well, so be sure to pick them up if you are interested! Below, you will find images featuring some of the sets:
Is this what the future holds?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual 2012 Cover by IDW
Back when I was in my prime age of about 8 years old, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were my jam. I used to watch the television show, play with the action figures, and run around with a cardboard Christmas wrapping paper roll pretending it was a bo staff. Today, about 50% of my nerdy shirts are TMNT related. Heck, the drinking glasses in my apartment even have ninja turtle characters on them. I recently decided to crack open a can of nostalgia by reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Annual 2012.
I posted a bit about this game when it was discussed at the E3 conference over the summer, but I am genuinely excited about PlaysStation All-Stars Battle Royale. With its upcoming release November 20th release date, I have been researching for the full list of playable characters. Here is the full list:
IDW Cover for Haunted Horror #1
Happy Halloween! For those that survived the Frankenstorm/Hallowcaine, you might be looking to read a new comic to take your mind off of having to pick up all the branches in your yard. If so, you should check out Haunted Horror, which immediately put me into the Halloween spirit.
The first official Iron Man 3 movie trailer is out! Enjoy!
