The PSU Vanguard’s Ten Best For 2008



The newspaper for the Portland State University community has released a comics component to their end-of-the-year list-making bonanza:

1. Ganges Vol. 2, Kevin Huizenga (Fantagraphics)
2. Good-Bye, Yoshihiro Tatsumi (D&Q)
3. Acme Novelty Library #19, Chris Ware (Self-Published; Distributed Through D&Q -- I hope I have that right)
4. Tokyo Zombie, Yusaku Hanakuma (Last Gasp)
5. MOME Vol. 12, Various Authors (Fantagraphics)
6. What It Is, Lynda Barry (D&Q)
7. The Education of Hopey Glass, Jaime Hernandez (Fantagraphics)
8. 5, Various (Self-Published)
9. Bottomless Belly Button, Dash Shaw (Fantagraphics)
10. Slow Wave, Jesse Reklaw (Dark Horse)

I'm including it here because a) it's a good list even though 5 was a 2007 book, b) I think I was one of three people that read comics other than those by Matt Groening on my college campus and the only one that didn't hide it like it was a heroin habit, so it's still a novelty to me to see coverage like this, c) it's a good list.
