The Year Ends When We Say It Does

Publishers Weekly has released their best-of year-end staff picks for 2006, including a comics category. The picks, which focus on brand-new work or at least work that has been collected for the first time in book form, were as follows:

* American Born Chinese
* Can't Get No
* Curses
* Dragon Head Vol. 1
* Fun Home
* Ghost of Hoppers
* Lost Girls
* Making Comics
* Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness
* The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation

A few things leapt out at me: only one translated manga, no repeat publishers that I can tell off the top of my head, and an entry for The 9/11 Report that comes closer to saying, "this is a book that exists" than it does "this book is among this year's best." Also, To Dance: A Ballerina's Graphic Novel made the kids' non-fiction picks list.
