While the time parameters on this list confound me, the purpose is crystal clear. Booklist recently released their top graphic novel picks from the last year, and I like their style. They have a few choices that have been getting love elsewhere (Stitches, Secret Science Alliance, Meanwhile…) and a few that are completely new to me (Gunnerkrigg Court: Orientation, for example). Click here to check out the entire list.
Gunnerkrigg Court was a Cybils graphic novel finalist. We liked it very much. Apparently it’s Neil Gaiman’s favorite web comic.
Eternal Smile was one of my favorites, but I couldn’t convince my fellow panelists. The Color of Earth is really excellent as well, though controversial (lots of sexual references).
Thanks for posting! I look forward to reading the few I didn’t catch earlier this year.
Ah ha – I thought that the cover for Gunnerkrigg Court looked familar!
