Amazon.com Posts Their 2008 GN List



Amazon.com has published its Best-Of list for graphic novels, which joins an almost if not actual same-day publication of such a list at Publishers Weekly.

1. The Umbrella Academy Vol. 1, Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba (Dark Horse)
2. What It Is, Lynda Barry (Drawn and Quarterly)
3. An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories Vol. 2, Ivan Brunetti (Yale University Press)
4. Bottomless Belly Button, Dash Shaw (Fantagraphics)
5. The Alcoholic, Jonathan Ames and Dean Haspiel (DC Vertigo)
6. Omega: The Unknown, Jonathan Lethem and Karl Rusnak and Farel Dalrymple and Paul Hornschemeier (Marvel Comics)
7. Too Cool To Be Forgotten, Alex Robinson (Top Shelf)
8. Dilbert 2.0: 20 Years of Dilbert, Scott Adams (Andrews McMeel)
9. Zot!: The Complete Black and White Collection: 1987-1991, Scott McCloud (Harper Paperbacks)
10. The Amazing Remarkable Monsieur Leotard, Eddie Campbell and Dan Best (First Second)

That's a solid enough list; I at least liked all of the books included. I wish they had listed at least the secondary primary author instead of going with a single author, but that may just be me. Still no sign of my current #1 choice, which saddens me a bit.

In addition, I know that What It Is and Bottomless Belly Button made their overall books list. I'm not certain how that works.
