This year's collection of the best comics was compiled by Charles Burns and as with editors of past editions his own work looms large over the selections. Similarly, many of Burns' picks are pale imitations of his masterful work. There are some good nuggets here but overall a so-so experience.

Well, I liked [b:Black Hole|3869|A Brief History of Time|Stephen W. Hawking|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255568961s/3869.jpg|2192250], but I don't have the same taste as [a:Charles Burns|21574|Charles Burns|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]. Or maybe I just have a very accessible, non-sophisticated graphic novel-enthusiast taste. There were five or six selections in this that I really liked, out of a very long collection of excerpts of graphic novels. Nonetheless, I enjoyed seeing the wide variety of material and discovered a couple of new authors.

Definitely not my taste in comics at all. Only liked the comics Freaks, Galactic Funnels, and Glenn Ganges in Pulverize. The rest were either a different kind of dark than my preference, or a type of silly humor of which I am not a fan.
