Maybe, but they feel so standard. Like Walking Dead is a massive series, but it's garbage.

But The Vision, Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl and a very recent Black Panther? That just feels like they googled Marvel comics and picked out what was going on right now.

It's a TPB, for Christ's sake. As are most other titles listed under that section. Fucking hipsters.

The current Black Panther run is wretched. How the fuck is this on a list of the best 100 comics and not Lee and Kirby's FF?

Jesus the colored pencil one in the webcomic section was shilling her comic for this when the survey was sent out. That's how I heard about the survery. I ended up reading it and there's mostly scenery porn in that thing. Just fucking pages and pages of nothing but trees and shit posted one at a time as an update. And every fucking character is LGBT despite being at a jesus camp.

I think maybe one comic I listed got on there.

My favourite part is that some of the panelists either wrote, or produce some of the comics on the list.

Instantly too confused by calling Megahex and Blacksad GNs and not series. Also no superhero comic from the past 27 years deserves to be in a top 100. Not even a top 100 list of superheroes.

Jojo is hot garbage and has always been hot garbage.

Just because it's the only manga you know about doesn't make it good. Just because you like it doesn't make it good, either.

Why don't you try reading a real manga, like Dungeon Meshi, before you start claiming old shounenshit is the best thing ever.

It's a NPR reader's poll, so of course the NPR base is going to have boring sensibilities and taste. I will say though, do people go to these types of lists just to see if stuff they like or dislike is on them? Because most times I just use them to see if there's new stuff I haven't heard of or read yet. I tend to not give a shit if something I like is on some list or not.

Subjective.
Seems to be based on Google results as opposed to people reading the actually books. The fact Bitch Planet, which is not a good book at all, is on the list along the side of Transmetropolitan and Mouse Guard is insulting. Also, the fact any manga is on this list is gross and made me puke a bit in my mouth.

Top crimes against comics in the article:

-Squirrel Girl
-Black Panther
-Oh Joy Sex Toy

And the #1 reason why this is a bullshit list
-No mention of Achewood

I would argue that over the past 20 years, Achewood has the richest level of character writing and interpersonal dynamic building of any comic, print or otherwise.

There's a few turds on the list (Squirrel Girl, that Marjorie Liu book, Bitch Planet, etc) but it's a solid list.

Aside from the webcomic section, I mean. That list is almost pure garbage, but that's pretty much what I was expecting once I saw the "Web Comics" headline.
