Broken Frontier

Another year is coming to a close. Like many of you, I’m taking this time to look back on all the great moments in pop culture we’ve witnessed over the past year. Who can forget the Death of Captain America? Or when Radiohead asked the world to decide how much music was worth? These are a handful of what I think are the greatest things of 2007.

Of course I’m leaving tons of stuff out, and there are a handful of honorable mentions like Once, Kevin Smith’s podcast, Criminal: Vol. 2: Lawless, and a score of other noteworthy items. Now obviously I couldn’t take part in everything in all the categories, so feel free to add to the list on the Komic Sutra forum. Happy New Year!
