We are supposed to have our top series for the radio show (http://www.cosmiccomix.com/conversations/index.htm) that I participate in.
So with a little research the top books of the year (in no order and will be subject to change as I contemplate this more) are:
Wormwood Gentlemen Corpse - Ben Templesmith's magnus opus.
All Star Superman - I want the Absolute Edition.
Fear Agent - The best cliff hanger endings each and every issue.
Fell - Hands down one great comic series by Ellis and Templesmith.
Nextwave - That Ellis guy again as writer with Stuart Immonen doing the art.
Shadowpact - Bill Willingham as writer and sometimes artist, has really taken a group of characters that should not work as a series and it does.
Fables - Willingham's best work ever, with Mark Buckingham as his main artists.
X-Factor - Peter David's best super hero work ever.
Wasteland - Great post apocalyptic series.
Agents of Atlas - Only a six issues mini-series, by Jeff Park and Leonard Kirk have made this a great little series that is severely unnoticed.
Local - Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly taking us around the country and exploring Megan's growing up.
52 - I mean hell this weekly series is my first read every week.
Daredevil - This arc is knocking it down, but the first arc by Brubaker was very good.
Invincible - Possible the best super hero book in the universe.
Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters - The art keeps this from probably making the final cut, but this has been a great story.

ReplyDeleteI know, but I don't think it hit its best stuff till the last two issues, and this is not my final list.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm not the only one reading "Uncle Sam". There is another... and he enjoys it too. Talk about a relevation!
ReplyDeleteLee - I think Uncle Sam and Agents of Atlas are too over looked series, but Uncle Sam has been great writing.
