That said, what was the best comic or graphic novel that came out in 2008?
I’d pick BOTTOMLESS BELLY BUTTON or ALAN’S WAR, myself. BM: Jason Lutes’ Berlin II is probably it, but it’s still sitting on my shelf. I’m confident it will rock. Derf’s Punk Rock and Trailer Parks not only made me laugh harder than anything else, it lingered longer than I thought it would. Jason Aaron and Cameron Stewart’s The Other Side — I don’t know when it came out, but I read it a few months ago and was really knocked out by the clean, compact story and incredibly detailed, fluid art. SM: Old Man Logan. AB: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ES: The Legion of Superheroes story arc that Geoff Johns did in Action Comics was the best stuff I read. That’s not to say that there wasn’t something better out there, but that’s just what I got to read. Max: Am I allowed to toot my own horn here? Nah, I’d never do that. Best comic I’ll have to give to SCALPED, even though it’s been running longer than last year. Collected work, it’s tough to decide between the Kirby and Ditko books put out this yea
