Voice Book List: Seth, Madden, Burns

Three comics works made the Village Voice "25 Favorite" list for 2005: Wimbldeon Green by Seth (Drawn and Quarterly), 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style by Matt Madden (Chamberlain Brothers) and Black Hole by Charles Burns (Pantheon). I have no idea how I might connect those works beyond the fact that all three are comics, so forget any pithy summary arriving down that road. It might be of some interest to note that each book comes from a different aspect of modern comics publishing: the prestige line (Pantheon), the small imprint (Chamberlain) and the dedicated comics publisher (Drawn and Quarterly). I guess there's also something to be said for books done using comics to show up on books list with those using prose, but I'm not certain if that really means anything beyond it's nice for comics work to appear on as many lists as possible.
