FFF Results Post #163—You In Back

On Friday, CR asked its readers to "Name Five Comics Of Any Kind (comic books, graphic novels, webcomics, etc.) That You've Read And Enjoyed In The Past Several Months, But Only If You Haven't Participated In Any Other Five For Fridays This Calendar Year." This is how they responded.

1) Multiple Warheads, Brandon Graham -- I come back to this every couple months. Dude's amazing.
2) Motro, Ulises Farinas -- probably my favorite longform webcomic, though PartyBear sometimes beats it out.
3) Bakuman, Obata and Tsugumi
4) Anything drawn by Doug Mahnke, which so far this year has been an old issue of The Mask and Stormwatch PHD #1 (Same goes for John Paul Leon, this year it's Wintermen Special)
5) Mountain Girl, Ross Campbell -- I really hope he redoes this pretty light and crispy so far this year

* Stickleback volume 1, Ian Edginton & D'Israeli (2000AD)
Edginton & D'Israeli are one of the most interesting teams working now, and Stickleback is a great example of that: how can you go wrong with a Victorian horror story drawn in what looks like an homage to Alberto Breccia?
* Creepy Archives Volume 2, lots of great artists (Dark Horse)
The Age of Great Reprints is upon us, and this series of hardcovers is one of the crown jewels.
* Love is the Reason, Tim Fish (Poison Press)
Fish keeps on creating these very good gay slice-of-life graphic novels, and he deserves a larger readership.
* Essex County Vol. 1-3, Jeff Lemire (Top Shelf)
I couldn't see this being published anywhere else but at Top Shelf, and I'm thankful for their interest in these slow burning, atmospheric stories.
* The Sandman: The Dream Hunters #1-4, Neil Gaiman & P. Craig Russell (Vertigo)
Craig Russell is an extraordinary artist, who proves times and again that he can work on any type of (prose) story to create far more than an illustrated story. He's a master storyteller as well as a unique stylist.

Nick Kuntz

1. George Sprott -- It was a comic so good that it made me reevaluate everything else I am reading.
2. Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka
3. Pop Gun War: Chain Letter -- This was only a preview of the next Pop Gun War graphic novel that ran on Arthur's website, but I really liked it a lot. Outside of Lucy Knisley's comics, it was the only webcomic that I maintained the discipline to follow.
4. The latest issues of Godland
5. The Complete Little Orphan Annie 1924-1927 -- Annie's adventures make me feel like a kid again.

Steven Wintle

Robin Gallagher

1. Runaways digests
2. Essex County trilogy
3. Muppet Show
4. Wizard of Oz
5. Fell

I love Runaways and am sad that there are only three books in the Essex County series.
