From our "13 years and younger" category, our winner is Jack Reybold as the Green Goblin!

Jack blew us away with the handmade costume him and his mom worked on. Spider-Man better watch out! For winning, Jack will receive a prize package that includes a Godzilla bust bank and a Skylanders: The Kaos Trap graphic novel!

And from out "14 years and older" category, our winner is Ashley Hudek as Maka from the anime Soul Eater!

10: The Walking Dead #133 (Image)

Arkham Manor #1 by Gerry Duggan and Shawn Crystal had fans going mad of the story of Gotham's new home for its criminally insane. And speaking of criminals, Deathstroke's new book made the Top 10, bringing his speciality of action and violence. Two of Marvel's events also made the list: AXIS #3 and the continued story of Edge of Spider-Verse in Amazing Spider-Man #8. We highly recommend checking out Memetic #1 from BOOM! Studios. While it feel just short of getting the number 10 spot, it's well worth the read, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit the Top 10 with futures issues.
