Hello, all--
You can’t get enough of best of the year lists, right? Here’s affable employee Brandon’s fantastic TOP TEN COMICS OF 2015 list:
1. DESCENDER (Image) My favorite series of the year! Descender is a colorful epic that is anthropomorphic charm and sci-fi adventure turned up to eleven. This seems like it was written just for me (although I could say that about everything Lemire writes.)
2. CHEW (Image) This vulgar story about a world full of food related super-abilities is packed with zany, over-the-top twists and turns that delight and repulse. This series has been running for over six years, and it still continues to surprise me.
3. SAGA (Image) A series with a purpose where no issue feels wasted. Many tears will continue to be shed over this fantasy tale of love and parenthood. This recipient of frequent comic awards is incapable of being overrated.
4. PREZ (DC) My favorite DC series of the year. It’s hard to believe that this daring and provocative series sells so poorly. As someone who loves politics and satire, this series was a timely and irreverent read.
5. THE VISION (Marvel) My favorite Marvel series of the year, and it’s only two issues in! Suburban dread invades the Vision family’s “perfect life.” Each page of this unique superhero series drips with melancholy. Also, more anthropomorphic charm (noticing a trend?)
6. TOKYO GHOST (Image) This is prophetic sci-fi at it’s best. Every issue forces a mirror up to our society’s obsession with entertainment and leisure. Add in a tragically unconventional love story and this series becomes something special.
7. KLAUS (Boom) Anyone close to me knows my obsession with the Christmas season; therefore, a series reimagining the legend of Father Christmas himself was bound to end up on my favorites list. In only two issues, this series has already built an enchanting world of one man’s rebellion against greed and grief.
8. PLUTONA (Image) It’s hard to write memorable and authentic teen characters who aren’t superheroes, but this series succeeds with flying colors. With every issue, this slow-burning miniseries marries sensibility with malice, while telling a simple story about kids and their heroes.
9. SOUTHERN BASTARDS (Image) Dirty. Bloody. Brash. Southern Bastards continues to both repulse and impress with each issue. Although the series continues to dance around it’s central narrative, two recent religiously-themed one-shots are perhaps the most memorable issues so far.
10. THE OMEGA MEN (DC) A character study on Kyle Rayner set in a world of galactic terrorism. Each issue of this impeccably paced series combines sci-fi intrigue with quotes from 19th century philosopher William James.
DON'T FORGET! Our first DRAW MONTHLY! competition is happening! The first character: DOCTOR STRANGE! 9" x 12" max, any media. The winning entry gets store credit and the pick of the next DRAW MONTHLY! character! I hope you're working on yours!
LAST CALL!
SUPERMAN: THE COMING OF THE SUPERMEN (DC) Neal Adams writes and draws this mini about a whole lotta different Supermans.
DIRK GENTLY: TOO SHORT A SPOON (IDW) More of this!
DEADPOOL: MERCS FOR MONEY (Marvel) Gosh, it’s really unlike Marvel to flood the market and oversaturate it with popular characters. I wonder if they’re feeling okay.
SPIDER-MAN (Marvel) Ahhhh, finally! Miles Morales is back, is Spider-Man, and is in the regular MArvel Universe!
KENNEL BLOCK BLUES (Boom!) The Shawshank Redemption, but in an animal shelter. There’s some hype on this one.
