After a short five-year hiatus, we’re back with a longtime CBR tradition. At the end of the year, we polled the many members of the CBR staff that make this site so great and asked them for their for their rankings of the top comics of the year. Every publisher putting out new comics material in English, regardless of genre or format, was fair game; each individual list is then factored in to determine the overall Top 100 that will be unveiled on CBR over the course of this week.
We started on Monday with #100-76, with the countdown continuing each day this week. Here’s the schedule (all times Eastern): Wednesday, 12/29, 3 p.m.: Top 50-26; Thursday, 12/30, 3 p.m.: Top 25-11; Friday, 12/31, 3 p.m.: Top 10; Saturday, 1/1, 9 a.m.: Master list.
Start perusing the list below, and if you feel so moved, take to Twitter and (politely) discuss your thoughts using the hashtag #CBRTop100.
