Despite the fact that I've been buying comics regularly for over a decade, I've only rarely reviewed them on Nuketown.

That changes starting this week with the debut of my "Top of the Pile" column where I'll be running down why I'm reading … and in what order. Almost every geek I know shuffles their comics once they get home, rearranging them into their preferred reading order. I'm no different, but in addition to talking about what's at the top of my comic stack, I'll also be talking about my kids' picks as I search for (and occasionally find) comics for my four-year-old daughter to read.
