Standouts for me that I wasn't already familiar with this year were...
1. Dakota McFadzean - Leave Luck to Heaven
Philosophical take on console gaming - and I found his drawing style approachable
and
2. David Collier - The Irish Table
Artist joins the military for a second time in his forties
I like to read through the new edition of this collection every year to take my comics temperature. Did pretty well this year. :)

These were the best? I found most of them bizarre and nonsensical. Even a brief excerpt should make some kind of sense. I took away zero comics that I would want to read the complete work.

There were a few good stories here. I have already read most of the children's selection, all of which are great. Otherwise I didn't really like this. I have read the two of newer ones and 2013 really blew me away.

Best Brooklyn Comics.
I've read a couple other Best American Comics editions and this was by far the worst.
Leave Luck to Heaven, Charles Burns, and Chris Ware were the best parts.
The children's section, while a noble idea, was just a random selection of children's stories thrown together seemingly without any sorting mechanism involved.
90% of the stories were by dudes who leave in Brooklyn. : /

I always enjoy reading these collections, but so far I think this is the weakest I've read. I often come away from these books with a whole list of authors I'd like to explore further, and I didn't feel that way with this one at all. I also didn't like how the kids' comics were separated out from the adults.
