Publishers Weekly Releases Second Part Of Its Year-End Comics Appraisals: The Critics’ Poll
Whether you use it to find a bunch of new books or to go "Oh my God, on what planet does that book gets any votes at all, let alone than this clearly superior book here?" asking critics to name favorite books and then compiling the works into a list usually provides a few moments of fun of the discovery, the grumpy, or the grumpy-discovery kind.
PW does us that solid here.
For whatever it is worth, I think the book I liked the most with only one vote here is
Hospital Suite, although there's also the
Sock Monkey collection and I'm not even sure how to process
The Complete Zap as being the same thing as some of these new books. (If that's on the table, though, yes, the complete run of
Zap is better than any one-off effort to come out this year; as is the entire run of
Cul-De-Sac.) Off the top of my head I also really liked three less year-spanning books that weren't represented at all: the new John Hankiewicz, the AdHouse collection of Katie Skelly's
Operation Margarine and the
Bungle Family reprint from IDW. I'll go to bat for the freaking
Bungle Family every damn time. "Pontoon Bungle."
