This meta-list aggregates twenty-seven different "best comics of 2006" lists from across the internet into a single list of the top 50 comic books of 2006.
Methodology: I gave each critic 550 points to distribute among the books on his or her list. Critics who wrote unnumbered lists distributed their points evenly among the books on their lists, while critics with numbered lists distributed their points according to a formula created by Chad Nevett. I only counted lists that had five or more books; for lists with more than 20 books, I only counted the top 20. I also only counted general "best of" lists, not lists limited to a certain genre or type of comic book.
Here is the Best Comics of 2006 Meta-List:
