The 25 Best Comics of 2016

>>88193437
Yeah it's okay.

>>88193437
>only DC title is Dark Night
nope its shit

>>88193437
>implying reading /co/ non capeshit

Very good, panther was definitely my favorite book this year along with a few things not on the list

>>88193514
>sheriff

Moon Knight is in there awesome, definately my favorite Marvel book, Midnighter and Apollo is weird though, I've enjoyed the first two issues but I don't think it's enough to make it one of the best books of 2016.

>>88193514
There are four too many.

>Good
Moon Knight
Tetris
House of Penance
Copra
Harrow County
Moon Cop
Monstress
Big Kids
Vision
Dark Night
Panther
Sheriff of Babylon
March

>Overrated
Thor
Nod Away
Midnight/Midnight and Apollo
Patience
The Legend of Wonder Woman
TW+TD
Paper Girls

The rest I haven't read. I'd put Seven to Eternity up there if it wasn't only a couple issues in.

>>88193437
It seems really forced when you see a list with a wide mix of big two, comix and Image/Vertigo/Dark Horse trade waiting stuff. No one actually likes all that, they're just trying to appeal to everyone with the Burger King Kids Club of lists.

I am for no reason skeptical of that Dini Batbook being amazing. I love Risso.

>>88194124
It's a top 25 done by a group of people, it being varied is not a bad thing especially when most of the comics are actually really good

>>88194180
also it isn't like they put up some zines or something, everything on there is very easily available, it's much easier now to read and like comics across several styles and publishers

>>88193437

I enjoy the March series, John Lewis' history is great, and Nate Powell's art is rather good.

but it was not the best comic released in 2016.

>>88193514
>only DC title

You fucking moron

>>88194290
I don't think the top 25 is in order or even if it was, it's not group consensus

>>88193514
Do you not know how to read?

>>88194290
>but it was not the best comic released in 2016.
What was better than it?

Maybe an 8/10 comic was simply better than all the other 7/10 comics that this year had to offer.

>no Kaijumax

shit list, 0/10

>>88193437
That's... actually pretty solid. Except for Wicked Divine, whatever it's called, that's unquestionably shit.

>>88193514
Well, DC is mediocre as fuck. They do not deserve to be praised for that.

>HURR DURR MOUSEKETEER.
Marvel's even less deserving.

>>88194624
>Marvel's even less deserving.
And yet you praised this list, which has Whor and everything.

>>88193437
>No Manifest Destiny
>No Omega Men
>No Grayson
This list is shit.

>>88194703
I was focusing only on what I've read (like 20/25 of those) from the list... I've actually never read Whor, or even Vision which everyone praises but I just don't care.

>>88194824
And yet you care enough to shit on DC...

There are way too many Marvel comics on that list to be any good.

>>88194804
Read outside your comfort zone.

>>88194846
Yeah, because I've read all of those on the list (not the WW title), and tried 90% of Rebirth and it's mediocre shit. Sorry, kid, after you read comics for a long time you develop some taste.

>>88193437
Archie vs Predator was comic of the year.

>>88194916
Not everybody is you.

In fact, most people aren't you.

>>88194850

theres four.....

>>88194870
What. Those are all 3 very different books and I've read everything from Black Science, to Batman, to Eternaut to Bouncer to Blacksad.

I have no "comfort zone".

>Vision
overrated garbage hailed as the coming of christ by marvelbabs who think Civil War is a good comic

>>88194916
Even though yours is a parody post, there are some people who believe this, it boggles the mind.

>>88194956
Which comics have you read on Paste's list?

>>88194804
Even thought they're great, 4 books by King would be a bit much.

>>88194941
Indiean pls

>>88194965
Well it's Tom King, obviously it's garbage.

/co/ doesn't read non-capes.

>>88194804
Grayson is nowhere near the greatest

Anyway the last 4 or so issues were mediocre as fuck so there were only 1-2 good issues of Grayson in 2016

>>88193437
Im suprised I only discovered Allison's work a week ago, and now he keeps popping up.

>>88194990
Is it still just one person forcing this? How many months have you been trying to make this into a thing? Have you been failing to create a meme for over a year now?

People who read this comic are the kind who think Civil War is complete trash.

>>88195001
/co/ even barely reads capes

>>88194916
>what's the point of including shit nobody has or will ever read?
Like superhero comics?

Ghosts alone sells more than any comic you read.

You read comics that sell in the thousands, but Telgemeier makes comics that sell in the millions.

>>88194977
What the fuck is that and why should I care. I've been reading comics for 20 years, I dont give a shit about some arbitrary hipster list.

>>88195087
/co/ watches capeshit and reads events, that's it.

You're literally posting in a thread about it and complaining about it so you do care to some extent

>>88195102
Then you clearly have a comfort zone which you refuse to read outside of.

>>88195104
Hey we read books we hate sometimes and also Batman

>>88195132
>Arsene
What obscure nouvelle graphique is this?

>>88195156

One of the greatest comics of 2014.

>>88195156
Batman himself is an event that never ends.

>>88195203
True

>>88195153
What are you even asking? How many comics on this shitty list that doesnt even have Eternaut on it have I read?

Is this some kind of retarded sexism thing or something? I just stated I have no comfort zone and gave you a range of comics and your rebuttal is this list is the end all be all of whether your taste are diverse? Are you 15 years old?

>>88195183
>>88195199
I'm sure the marlelfag will enjoy it.

>>88195242
And yes I know Eternaut was a reprint but still warranted.

>>88195203
>be between binge readings
>read some Batman
Feels good, man.

>>88195153
People like you actually take these list seriously and judge others off of it.

Get your own opinions you sheep.

>>88195242
>>88195269
There are no other reprints on this list. Maybe they don't allow reprints. Your first reaction should be to consider the possibilities, not jump to an arbitrary conclusion.

Also, your "range" of comics? Do you ever read any comics without le good guys versus le bad guys? You have a few comics du monde in there, but American monthly ongoing Marvel/DC/Image/Dark Horse/whatever action punchfest schlock is pretty samey.

I'm not saying they're bad. In fact, a lot of those comics are good. But that range is pretty narrow, stuck inside a little comfort zone.

Go ahead, call me any name you want, but just remember: You are the one asking "What the fuck is Paste's list?" in a thread about Paste's list, you're the one claiming an entire list is shit because it didn't include a few of your favorites, you're the one refusing to read comics because they might be "hipster".

>>88193437
No
but that's how you know it's good

>>88193437
I've seen worse.

>>88195549
Who said I havent read most of those? I have aside from a few and they are garbage. You are under the assumption you are somehow more cultured than others cause you agree with this terrible list.

>>88195847
What have you read?

>>88193437
>no Tomboy
Garbage list.

>>88193437
I even like Black Hammer and Wicked + Divine, but there were better comics that came out this year. Like Omega Men.

>>88195885
Tomboy is mediocre, in the fact the story kind of just wanders off into something else midway through

>>88195873
I'm at work but everything except the bottom 5 on the list

>>88195998
What didn't you like about them?

>>88193437
>Midnighter and Apollo
Nah. You can't write a book with two leads when it's clear you don't give a shit about one of them.

>>88195953
>The story kind of just wanders off into something else midway through
How exactly does it do that? The focus is still on the pharmaceutical company conspiracy shit.

Yeah its great biased media that panders to the audience of people who preach about gender politics and representation in comics but don't buy them. Get those sweet shares and clicks baby

>>88196354
>muh sekrit klub

>>88193437
Some outright mediocre choices there.

And while it's far from bad, Ghosts is easily Telgemeier's weakest original book.

>>88195092
Stuff she put out years ago still sells hundreds of thousands of copies, it's nuts.

> House of Penance
> Copra
> Harrow County
Everything else I didn't like or had no interest in

>>88193437
I read three of these, I guess I'm not a real comic fan.

>>88193437
>this faggot not only posted their clickbait they attacked people in the thread that disagreed with it

This should be a bannable offense

>>88197367
What's clickbait about it?

>attacked people
You're attacking right now, you hypocrite. What are you doing on 4chan if you can't handle an attack?

>>88195092
it's nice reminding /co/ how little capeshit really sells

>>88194928
Wasn't that 2015?
Also, bumping for >>88195998 to finish work and respond

>>88195199
New Schrauwen book when? I want more after Mowgli's Mirror turned out amazing.

>>88193437
I don't know why DC doesn't just hire the Copra guy to write Suicide Squad. He clearly wants to.

>>88201387
Maybe he doesn't want to.

Every Suicide Squad writer in the past 5 years went in with good intentions but somehow it all turned out shit. Maybe they weren't given the editorial freedom on Suicide Squad that Fiffe has on COPRA. Maybe Fiffe prefers that freedom.
