“The graphic novel has been a ‘legitimate’ art form for a while now. Does that mean we can start calling them comics again?” Publisher’s Weekly reviewers vote on their favorite comics from 2006. It was a very good year.
I agree that Absolute DC: New Frontier was really good. I loved Scott McCloud’s Making Comics (my review). I sort of panned The 9/11 Report: A Graphical Adaptation (my review), but it made the honorable mentions anyway. I just started Kevin Huizenga’s Curses, and Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic is definitely on the (ever-lengthening) to-read list.
