　　Introduction
　　The new year is wide open with comics firing on all cylinders — from the upper echelons of superhero comics to the vibrant field of modern comics.
　　But who rests at the top? Who are the biggest and brightest — who are the ones who pose to make 2009 a breakout year for themselves? From characters to comics to creators, and even to the wider spectrum of television and movies — who will be the breakout stars?
　　Newsarama gathered the facts, analyzed the fiction and reviewed the rumors to delineate who we think will be the top — the nine to watch in ’09.
　　We start with the pillar of comics storytelling: the characters. They’re the ones who bring it all together, making the story stronger, making the creators strive higher and being the glue that holds the whole package together. Without them, it’d be a faceless story — with them, it’s the thumbtack that pins it down for us to remember.
　　But who will matter most in ’09? Our crystal ball is broken but our speculation is running wild — here’s who we think will be the nine comic characters to watch in ’09. Yes — there are some familiar faces...
　　Wolverine (Marvel Comics)
　　The character of Wolverine has been a contender since the day he was first born — err, published in 1974, but 2009 will see him reach his pinnacle of a storied life.
　　With four solo comic book series ("Wolverine," "Wolverine: Origins," "Wolverine: First Class" and the upcoming "Wolverine: Weapon X"), a member of countless team comic books, an upcoming movie ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine") and an animated series ("Wolverine &. The X-Men"), he truly is the "it" character for the X-universe, and arguably the larger Marvel Universe.
　　He’s synonymous with the "X-Men" brand, and is the only character to be included in every media adaptation of the "X-Men" franchise including film, television, computer He’s gone by many names, but no matter what you call him — everyone calls him integral to comics.
　　Batman (DC Comics)
　　2009 could be Batman’s biggest year yet — but will he even be around to enjoy it? In comics he’s gone — presumed dead — and his close friends and enemies are fighting for his cowl — literally — in the upcoming "Battle for the Cowl" miniseries. And although there’s no "Batman" movie this year, the fruits of the blockbuster "Dark Knight" movie will be reaped in awards season in several categories. And there’s always speculation on future "Batman" movies from Nolan, Bale and co. In comics we’re trying to wrap our heads around someone besides Bruce Wayne being Batman, while we’re still holding out hope that we haven’t seen the last of him. It is comics, after all, isn’t it?
　　Oh — and of course — there’s "Batman: Brave and the Bold" on Cartoon Network.
　　Supergirl (DC Comics)
　　Although she is the female counterpart to DC’s signature superhero, she’s never quite lived up to her birthright until now. Her ongoing series has finally (finally!) gotten its footing with writer Sterling Gates, and Supergirl is emerging as a key part of the larger DC Universe not as Superman’s proverbial “kid sister” but as her own person. Far from a Superman in women’s clothing, Supergirl has begun to emerge and reach her full potential — and her fans couldn’t be happier.
　　Nick Fury (Marvel)
　　He’s always been the rough and tumble type, from his army days with Sgt. Fury &. His Howling Commandos to his transition to resident super-spy as part of S.H.I.E.L.D. — but now he’s got a new lease on life as he occupies a central role in the Marvel Universe. In recent years we’ve seen him quit his job at S.H.I.E.L.D., make an unannounced appearance in the "Iron Man" movie, and come back to save the world in Secret Invasion as head of a new group of "Commandos" and him as "Agent of Nothing" in the forthcoming "Secret Warriors" series. All that, from a man who fought in World War II and in 2009 is still in his prime. They sure don’t make them like they used to.
　　Dr. Strange (Marvel)
　　By far one of the most enigmatic characters as of late in the Marvel Universe, if solicitations are to be trusted the good Doctor is in for his own life-changing experience in 2009. According to interview with Marvel architect Brian Michael Bendis, Dr. Strange is to lose his role as Sorceror Supreme as a response to using dark magic as seen in New Avengers Annual #2. He’s been off the playing field for most of Secret Invasion, but his 2009 looks to see him back in the mix. The mantle of Sorcerer Supreme is up for grabs, and one of his most formidable foes, Dormammu, has reappeared as the benefactor of the Hood. And Hollywood might be in Dr. Strange’s future too, with a tentative 2012 movie planned to be directed by Guillermo Del Toro and possibly scripted by Neil Gaiman. There’s a lot of questions out there for Doctor Strange, but that’s how he seems to like it.
　　Green Lantern (DC Comics)
　　His ongoing series is at the height of his power, thanks to writer Geoff Johns, and he’s grown his own family of titles in the DCU Umbrella with "Green Lantern," "Green Lantern Corps" and the show-stealing "Sinestro Corps War" miniseries. As the resident super cop in the DC universe, Green Lantern’s own series is one of the highlights of the modern DC universe, and if the "Trinity" was one more — that fourth would be wearing a Green Lantern ring. Hollywood has its sights on Green Lantern as well, with some comparing its movie potential as similar in scope to Marvel’s "Iron Man." Production of the movie is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2009 for a 2010 release, with director Greg Berlanti. What does the future hold for the Green Lantern? From his space-faring ways, even sky isn’t a limit.
