James and I will be recording the Yearly Comics Spotlight #013 episode covering 2019 in early January.
The categories this year are DC, Marvel, Premiere Publishers (BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, Dynamite, IDW and Image) and the other publishers and some miscellaneous other items.
When listing creators, it helps if you include some of the titles they've worked that influenced your pick. For example, "FirstName LastName (Event title, Monthly title, obscure title)" is much more informative than just putting "FirstName LastName".
Fill in as many categories below as you want. If you don't have a pick for some, that is fine. Just leave the square brackets empty.
An automated process will be compiling the notes we use for the episode using the square brackets as the delimiters for your responses.
Copy the text below and put your answers inside the square brackets.

Re: Yearly Comics Spotlight #19: 2019 [Deadline: end of 2019
DC:
Favorite Series (New or continuing): [Aquaman - It doesn't always have to make sense, but Kelly Sue DeConnick has been telling an intriguing story all year to accompany some of the best art in the business.]
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc: [DC Ghosts 100-Page Giant which did a good job of telling quick stories about some of DC's best spooky characters - The Spectre, Gentleman Ghost, Constantine, and even some twisted takes on regular characters.]
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc): [artist Robson Rocha from Aquaman]
Book you wish more people read: [The Dreaming, by writer Si Spurrier and primarily art from the always spectacular Bilquis Evely. ]
Book you wish they would publish: [JSA]
Marvel:
Favorite Series (New or continuing): [Silver Surfer Black]
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc: [Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History. Just something interesting about this miniseries. I liked the ending even though it was heartbreaking.]
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc): []
Book you wish more people read: []
Book you wish they would publish: [Silver Surfer ongoing]
Premiere Publishers (BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, Dynamite, IDW and Image):
Favorite Series (New or continuing): [Coda from Boom, an interesting story but the art was always a special combination of fun line work from Matias Bergara and colors by Michael Doig]
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc: [Gideon Falls #11. I did not expect multiverse theory to come up in this series, and the art was equally grotesque and spectacular. The series explodes forward from here.]
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc): [artist Matias Bergara on Coda, but I also want to salute writer Jeff Lemire for always being the workhorse of the indie industry]
Book you wish more people read: [The Canto miniseries from IDW. I hear there may be a return of the series in 2020.]
Book you wish they would publish: [Whatever new and imaginative books they come up with, I am always happy to give anything interesting a try.]
Other Publishers:
Favorite Series (New or continuing): ["These Savage Shores" by Vault Comics]
Favorite Single Issue or Story Arc: []
Favorite Creator (Writer/Artist/etc): [Sumit Kumar, the artist on "These Savage Shores" from Vault]
Book you wish more people read: [There is a series of graphic novels from First Second called "Castle in the Stars" that is written and illustrated by Alex Alice. The 3rd installment, The Knights on Mars, came out this September and the last installment is likely around the same time in 2020.]
Book you wish they would publish: [As with the premier publishers, I am always happy to give anything new a try if the art looks good and the story premise is imaginative.]
Miscellaneous:
Most improved: [Marvel]
Favorite Publisher: [I am going with Vault Comics for getting me to sample and read many new series. They put some good up and coming artists and writers together.]
Best All Ages title: [Canto from IDW]
Favorite Comic Television Show: [The Flash]
Favorite Comic Movie: [SHAZAM]
Best Other (trade, hardcover, periodical or book): [Cromwell Stone - a hardcover collection of the trilogy of European graphic novels from writer and artist Andreas which was translated and published by Titan Comics. Jaw dropping art in the style of etchings or lithographs, with a fantastic and bizarre Lovecraftian story.]
Highlight of 2019: [Discovering and rediscovering some really foundational and excellent comics in the back issue bins and new collected editions solicits each month. I have been reading through T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, New Teen Titans, Airboy, and Alan Moore's Swamp Thing.]
Prediction for 2020: [A few of the smaller new pop-up publishers will close and consolidate, making way for some new mid-level publishers to rise up.]
How often do post on the Comic Book Page forum? [1 to 2 times per month]
How often do you check the Comic Book Page Slack channel? [NA]
Have you ever submitted a Previews Spotlight clip? [Yes]
-What can we do to encourage you to send in clips to the Previews Spotlight episodes? [Keep offering the opportunity]
Has the Comic Book Page podcast added any comics to your reading list? If so, which comics and why? [Yes, I typically do a pretty thorough search through the catalog before the Spotlight, but recommendations from other listeners often tip the scale to make the purchase. Two recent example were the Green Arrow by Mike Grell Omnibus and Legion of Super-Heroes relaunch due to the enthusiasm I heard from fans of the material and creators.]
What suggestions do you have for the Comic Book Page podcast? [Keep up the hard work. Continue to focus on the series and creators you all enjoy reading. Don't worry about the industry hyped issues.]
On average, about how many newly released comic books do you get each week? [12]
Are you planning increasing or decreasing your comic book reading in 2020? [Keep the buying the same, but increase the reading! Haha!]
-If so, why? [After making some needed cuts this last year for time and space budget needs, I have found a happy medium for now.]
-And by how much? []
Additional Comments? [I hope 2019 is the end of miniseries that just set up another miniseries. Decompressed storytelling within a series is one thing, but decompressed stories across subsequent series already has caused me to cut whole publishers from my new issue purchasing.]

Are you planning increasing or decreasing your comic book reading in 2020? [its an ongoing struggle, i always want to decrease a little but always also add new things]
-If so, why? [not enough time to read, comics are getting more expensive also and i would like to save some more money for trips and renovations]

Additional Comments? [Its really hard to pick just one comic from each publisher
i would have liked one new and one continuing, ofc its hard when most titles dont get more than 12 issues... classifications could be different, one team book one solo book, or just top three of each publisher. Same for Creator, imo top three or artist and writer (ofc that excludes letterer, colorist, editor from being in the race...). If everyone uses the brackets it might not be too much more work? easier said than done? Thanks for all the hard work and the entertaining, interesting and informative pod casts!]

What suggestions do you have for the Comic Book Page podcast? [Keep doing what you're doing. Don't worry about the DC, Marvel, Other format, substitutions for one or the other will always work. I think it's your passion and interest is comics that draw us to listen.]
On average, about how many newly released comic books do you get each week? [Only 2 or 3. I'm all digital now so my new comic buying has changed, I usually wait for things to be on sale at Comixology or to arrive on Marvel Unlimited or DC Universe]
Are you planning increasing or decreasing your comic book reading in 2020? [I plan to stay the course, about 175 comics a month]
-If so, why? []
-And by how much? []
Additional Comments? [I want to thank everyone involved in the podcast, forum and slack channel. It's nice to have a place to discuss and share information and opinions about comics without the backlash you hear about in other social media arenas. I want to thank John for expecting us to act like adults and not hesitating to correct us when we don't. Here's to a great 2020 of comic reading and discussion]

If that isn't feasible, maybe you've considered the occasional interview segment for creators (indie or professional). I think industry discussion would be delightful. I'm also someone that prefers comics and film talk over the tv show reviews or the unboxing episodes. Just one guy's opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. Everyone has different tastes. Don't fix what isn't broken.]
On average, about how many newly released comic books do you get each week? [between 3-5]
Are you planning increasing or decreasing your comic book reading in 2020? [Looks like it might decrease. Not much in January's Previews is getting me excited, but I don't want to increase it. I'd be happy with it staying the same.]
-If so, why? [Time. Money. Interest.]
-And by how much? [Same, or as little as 50% of the current influx would be acceptable.]
Additional Comments? [Love the podcast and the forums John. I wish you, your sister, James, and everyone that's involved with the CBP show, including its fans, a very happy, blessed, and prosperous 2020.]
