Feel bad for you folks in the north. Move down where I am in Phoenix. Record temps all week, mid-80's. Don't have to shovel sunshine.

This took a little bit of consideration but in no particular order...

Harbinger
East of West
Batman
Thor
Walking Dead

Honorable mention - Elephantmen, Astro City, GL: New Guardians & The Wake
