The "Best Comics of 2010" Lists

I'm collecting all of the online "Best Comics of 2010" lists so that I can later aggregate them into a single meta-list.  I thought I'd post all of the lists that I have found here.

If you see another list out there or write one yourself, send me a link.

  1. Is there a way that when you update the list with new links, in addition to slotting them into the list alphabetically, you highlight the ones you've recently added? That way we don't need to keep a perfect memory of the ones we have previously read.

    Thanks, I absolutely love this list aggregation you do - check it without fail every year.

  2. No problem -- I'll do a separate little update post each time with just the new lists included. Glad you like the lists!
