The Comics Reporter Group-Facilitated Reconsideration List, 2013
posted October 20, 2013
 

The following list is made up of names of books collected by this site from a group of its readers on Sunday, October 20. It is meant to reflect under-appreciated books that came out in 2013, in particularly those that are under-appreciated because of a lack of attention. I think it ended up being a pretty good list, and I hope you'll consider it when putting together a year-ender of your own.
