I've notice that no one has, thus far, listed Planetary in their top 10 picks...

Just out of curiosity, is this purposeful, or is this an example of "out of sight means out of mind?"

You're referring to the erratic shipping schedule as of late? Yeah I guess that would affect things, and some books might stick in people's minds more given that they presented more available material this year.

-Pat Darcy

Pat, not trying to slam you here I really want to know, why on earth would you buy a book that you do not enjoy? I've seen this before about other comcis here and it always seemed strange that someone would spend good money on something they don't enjoy, so what gives?
Terry

Actually, I meant to include columnists in that as well; everyone's discussing this mainstream vs. independent thing, when it's really simple if you consider a person mainly read independent or mainstream books.
However, I do think said columnist probably had more access to more books than I did.

Actually my favourite of the year was the online Hutch Owen story but limiting this to paper and ink I'd pick

1 The Book of Leviathan by Peter Blegvad
2 Non 5
3 Atlas 1
4 whatever issues of Finder were this year, that's getting better and better
5 Lowjinx 3
6 drawn and quarterly v4
7 Breakfast after noon tpb
8 Albert et Les Autres
9 Love and Rockets v2
10 Golems Mighty Swing
