After carefully reviewing all of the covers for Dark Horse books published with cover dates between January and December of 2016, we've selected a collection that runs the eye-catching, attention-grabbing gamut.

Welcome to Costume Drama, where we turn a critical eye toward superhero outfits and evaluate both the aesthetics and the social issues that often underlie them. For this installment I'm looking at five characters who've been redesigned as a group more than perhaps any other team: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel and Beast, the original founding members of the X-Men. In particular, I want to look at the costumes that the teenage versions of these characters have worn since they traveled to the present in Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen's All-New X-Men.

In every form and in every evolution, these characters can be found throughout the convention circuit, and we've gathered some their appearances here just for you. Journey back to the atomic age as we look at the best original X-Men cosplay.

Your scores will be added to ours to determine the top 100 X-Men. Today we're looking at two of the hottest X-Men, Firestar and Sunfire, the time-displaced Warren Worthington III, former villain Frenzy, and arguably one of the most important mutants of them all, weather witch and longtime team leader Storm.

At the Dark Horse panel at WonderCon this afternoon, Director of Publicity Jeremy Atkins, Editor Sierra Hahn, and Senior Managing Editor Scott Allie made a series of announcements about the upcoming Dark Horse Comics based on Joss Whedon created properties like Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9, and a new Angel comic that will share its spotlight with a familiar Buffy character...

Since the earliest days of superhero comics there's been a tug of war between the forces of whimsical adventure and those of grim 'n gritty realism. Now, don't be alarmed, the question of which is the one right and true way to tell a capes and tights story wasn't resolved once and for all this week, so we can all thankfully keep arguing about it...

After half a decade at IDW Publishing, Angel and his supporting cast (including Spike and Illyria) are headed back to original comic publisher Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse teased the transition in its column at the end of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Riley" one-shot on Wednesday, before releasing an official press release along with IDW yesterday evening...

Last week saw the release of Dark Horse's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" #34, in which Buffy and Angel have super-powered sex for 22 pages while the rest of the cast stands around shouting exposition. This is actually what happens. If that's what you're into, more power to you, and while we had to pause at seeing Buffy literally being thrust through a mountain, we here at ComicsAlliance were

Despite a spoof reveal claiming that the new Buffy villain, Twilight, would be omnipresent comic book character Barack Obama, the real identity of the Big Bad has finally been revealed... ... as Angel. Of course, this isn't the first time Angel's been a villain; he was baddy numero uno in the second season of the TV series, when the one-time one true love of Buffy turned evil following a night of
