There were some other things in the article like Best Moments of 2008 and stuff but they'd require too much explanation... You can go to wizarduniverse.com to see some more on these, if you'd like...

Thanks to Wizard Magazine who published the article in reference and always keeps us in the know on all things comic book...

Until next time, guys...

Peace...
