How about some love for THE THING? At the very least it had to make for the best new trade of last year.

"I love She-Hulk and Walking Dead to bits, but seriously, better than Jack Staff, or Castle Waiting, or Goon, or Seven Soldiers, or Mouse Guard?" In my opinion, yes they are. But like I said, that's just my opinion. By the way, I was the one who submitted that list. I forgot to include my name when I hit 'submit', so that's why I showed up as Anonymous...

"Preview for my picks:

There will continue to be no love for Manhunter, Strangers in Paradise, Boneyard, She-hulk, Walking Dead, Fallen Angel or X-Factor."

Too bad, you're missing some good stuff...

ALL RIGHT! I'm buying Mouse Guard! See! Leaving right now!

Hey, maybe if it was a top ten or twenty or summat, you'd see them in there.

Don't hold your breath waiting for me to start praising 'Strangers In Paradise' though.

Matt - I don't know for sure that it's Morrison holding WildCats up, but I have heard some rumors about it. I thought it was Lee as well, but I have been disabused of that notion by people who know a lot more about the talent than I do. Of course, putting BOTH of them on a book is a recipe for disaster!

Is it Morrison that's holding up Wildcats? I would assume it's the ridiculously slow (and overrated) Jim Lee, who is behind on two books because he's also doing the art for DC's online RPG. Or so I've heard.

Man, no love for Andreyko's Manhunter, Terry Moore's Strangers In Paradise, Richard Moore's Boneyard, Slott's She-Hulk, Kirkman's Walking Dead or either X-Factor or Fallen Angel from Peter David. Those would be my favorite books of the last year...

Sigh. And people say we slurp Morrison too much. Way to prove them wrong, fellas!

Good to see some people stepping outside the MorrisonSphere. I mean, he's doing good work, and All Star Superman is excellent, but if he can't get a damned script together in six months for something like WildCats, something is wrong. Get in gear, Grant!

Holy crap, they ARE all Morrison comics. Well, he's had a damn good year. The other comics I mention are almost as fantastic, and Mouse Guard cannot be over-rated.

That may be CBSG retcon number four. I do feel bad that I'm an idiot for not choosing Seven Soldiers as best mini, but I really didn't think it should count, although since it didn't end until this year, I also think I'm probably wrong. And I sort of always work from the assumption that Joe thinks I'm an idiot anyway, so I'm used to being condemned in blanket statements by him. Futhermore, one guy choosing nothing but Morrison comics probably balances out Bill and I sharing a brain.

Brad Curran is my brain brother.

Cronin must have grown us in the same lab or something.
