Here we go, the first of my year end countdowns. In a year when I had every excuse in the book to read more, I read less overall. In my defense, I feel I read denser this year and that slowed me down across the board, including graphic novels. A few comments on my selections:
- shameful that I didn't read any manga (a couple have manga-ish art)
- for someone who prefers Marvel to DC, I only read one more Marvel title and DC had a higher ranking
- I read a lot more people of colour (writers and characters)
- I read a lot more music biographies
