This Year in Panels: Year 2

I just did the 100th installment of This Week in Panels a month ago, so this is less of a big deal, but whatever. This Week in Panels has been about me and people who read this for whatever reason picking out panels that best represent the comics we read. What is the comic? Sell it with one panel without the context. Let the readers figure it out.
Going with what I did a year ago, I decided to do a little look back at the past 52 weeks. The challenge is to showcase a panel from each week without double-dipping on the same series. Let’s see what the last year have given us.

Thanks to David Brothers, Was Taters, Space Jawa, David Uzumeri, Neil Curry, VersasoVantare, naktekh, luis, Boco T and anyone else who’s contributed to this thing in the past year. Hell, the year before that too.
Personally, I’m a little proud that I’ve been able to hit just about every Sunday night deadline on this baby. The only times I have missed it are due to technical issues: storm-based power outage, computer being dead, site being a dick. Anyway, here’s to another year.
I am disappointed that I wasn’t able to find a spot for any Avengers Academy panels, since that’s one of my favorite comics right now. You’ll forgive me, right Veil?
Oh. Crap.
What, no Xombi?
