Ooh, thanks! Interesting that they went for Promethea out of Moore's work. Outside Criminal and Thrizzle, I haven't read anything on there. Now I'm trying to work out what my personal list would have.

The Nightly News, for sure. That's one I half-expected to see in their list. And probably Casanova, DMZ, Gotham Central, Lucifer, Planetary...hm.

---

All-Star Superman, Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely

I did enjoy this. I don't read a lot of Superman, but this was fun, and I loved that even though it was ostensibly episodic, there was actually an undercurrent of an arc all along, like in Doctor Who. And issue #10 is AWESOME.

Black Hole

I've been wanting to read this.

Blankets, Craig Thompson

Will read!

Criminal, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips

So this is good, eh?

Daredevil, Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev

So happy to see this on the list! This is what got me hooked on Daredevil. Some of the best superhero storytelling I've ever seen.

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, Alison Bechdel

Three thumbs up!

Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi

Meh.

Promethea, Alan Moore & J.H. Williams III

A guy at my comic book store just recommended this! I didn't know much about it.

Y: The Last Man, Brian K. Vaughan

Love.

Bone one-volume edition, Jeff Smith

I own it and will read it when I can set aside the time to forge through it.

No Scott Pilgrim, indeed! What's up with that? Also, no 100 Bullets ? Really? Was it ineligible because it debuted in 1999? Maybe. Because if they're lauding Criminal for being a great crime story, I don't see why 100 Bullets wouldn't make the list. No Fables or Powers, either.

Black Hole

I've been wanting to read this.

It's great. Recommended. It's been optioned to be a movie and it does work like a particularly good David Lynch or David Cronenberg film.

---

well, it's a start

---

Did you mean to post that in this thread, Toddson?

---

Achewood, Chris Onstad

Is honest to doggy my favourite thing ever.

All-Star Superman, Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely

Yeah, okay, don't know if it would be on any top ten type lists of mine.

Black Hole

I bought this for a friend's birthday, read it quickly before I wrapped it, and should probably go back and read it again. Also, be a less crappy present giver.

Blankets, Craig Thompson

And apparently that's a a habit of mine because I did exactly the same thing with this. Oops. Also on I should read again.

DC: The New Frontier, Darwyn Cooke

I really enjoyed this.

Eightball #23 (“The Death Ray”), Daniel Clowes

Yup.

The Goon, Eric Powell

Meh.

Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi

I was put off reading this for ages because of all the hype, but I loved it. I've read it four or five times in the last few months. Still haven't watched the film though.

Promethea, Alan Moore & J.H. Williams III

I really was not a huge fan of this. If they wanted an Alan Moore on the list why not The Black Dossier?

Y: The Last Man, Brian K. Vaughan

I was so invested in this that I'm still dealing with the trauma of the ending.

The others I haven't read, but I'm totes putting them on my Christmas list.

Like P-C, the absence of Powers seems weird to me.

---

I guess they picked Daredevil for their Bendis. Which I'm okay with, as it shows that you can be list-worthy even writing a mainstream title.

---

I've gotten yet another person hooked on Firefly, and his comment was "Jayne Cobb and Titus Pullo should open a bar together."

---

Black Hole is great. Loved it a lot. When did Epileptic come out? It is also brilliant. Y is best though!

---

Has anyone read Chew ? The first trade comes out tomorrow and I'm going to pick it up. A co-worker recommended it to me, and it sounds pretty interesting and entertaining.
