Ryan's Favorites for 2007

Though I've only been writing for ComicBookMovie.com for half a year now, and editing Earth's Mightiest since September, I have amassed enough favorite sites, blogs, quotes, goofs, etcetera to fill much more than this one modest column. But I hope this sampling gives my readers (all three of you) an idea of my experiences with and views of the Web (and genre publications) in '07.

So, without further ado, I humbly submit to you...
