– Chip Zdarsky, Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, Marvel Two-in-One (Marvel)Įvery single writer on this list deserves to win. X, Rogue & Gambit, Uncanny X-Men, West Coast Avengers (Marvel) – Kelly Thompson, Nancy Drew (Dynamite) Hawkeye, Jessica Jones, Mr. And it doubles as a love letter to comics history. It’s a masterpiece of form and function that tells a story that takes these bizarre Jack Kirby characters and uses them to tell a real story about mental health, parenthood, work, relationships and love. It’s beautiful, ambiguous, thoughtful, methodical. However, Mister Miracle is the best comic I’ve bought monthly ever. That’s one of the most amazing accomplishments I’ve ever seen in comics.
I don’t understand how we lucked into a great history of the gay rights movement that’s also got a bunch of colorful Hanna Barbera animals as leads. If I was placing bets on this category, I’d put a lot of money on Mister Miracle and a small but significant amount on The Snagglepuss Chronicles. – X-Men: Grand Design: Second Genesis, by Ed Piskor (Marvel) Mister Miracle, by Tom King and Mitch Gerads (DC) – Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles, by Mark Russell, Mike Feehan, and Mark Morales (DC) – Eternity Girl, by Magdalene Visaggio and Sonny Liew (Vertigo/DC)
– No Better Words, by Carolyn Nowak (Silver Sprocket) – Black Hammer: Cthu-Louise, by Jeff Lemire and Emi Lenox (Dark Horse) – Beneath the Dead Oak Tree, by Emily Carroll (ShortBox) Dawson’s a talented storyteller who should get some recognition for his work. It’s also full of really great storytelling tricks – overlapping panels dissolving into each other telling the same story in multiple times. Institutional bias against webcomics will probably be enough to keep Dawson’s comic from winning, but I would probably give it to “Life During Interesting Times.” It’s a thoughtful look at the world we live in that tries to place it into historical context, simultaneously playing up the urgency of the terrible world we live in and expressing hope for the future. – “The Talk of the Saints,” by Tom King and Jason Fabok, in Swamp Thing Winter Special (DC)
“Life During Interesting Times,” by Mike Dawson ( The Nib), Supply Chains,” by Peter and Maria Hoey, in Coin-Op #7 (Coin-Op Books)
