Five Best Stories of The Past 5 Years.

No more than Five...Thanks to Chewy for the suggestion.

Both, and Original Graphic Novels. You can pick an entire TPB as 1 pick. I'm willing to be lenient for the sake of quality picks.

Mike Allred's "Batman a go go" story from Solo.

They were gonna do another one... but you had to go and jinx it, didn't you?

1. We3 (Morrison/Quitely)
2. Chosen (Millar/Gross)
3. 100 Bullets: The Hard Way (Azzarello/Risso)
4. Kabuki (Mack)
5. Promethea (Moore/Williams)

Pro - was Loki good?

Piggie, are you reading Cooke's Spirit?

I'm reading it. It's pretty fucking cool... though the Spirit/Bats one shot by Loeb and Cooke sucked ass.

I pretty much agree with that....I would add that the one shot's art was good.

Oh, yeah. But still, it was annoying to see Cooke waste forty-something pages for a shit team-up story Loeb pulled out of his ass.

I don't even think Loeb phoned that in-I think it was carrier pigeon.

Superb, in my opinion. It's a story told completely from Loki's POV. The art is gorgeous, and by the end, the writer had truly opened my eyes to the character of Thor's half-brother. It's such a genius little story, it should have been told decades ago. PLEASE do yourself a favor and check it out...

I just read this. Some of the best art and a really good story too...

Loki's definitely a contender. the art alone was fucking amazing, but the story was damn good as well. it's increasingly harder and harder to find books like that.

damn, I'm gonna have to read it again.
