Booklist Names 2010 Top 10 Graphic Novels for Youth

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.
