Haven't read most of these. I'll check them out. I can't imagine picking up Thor or Saga again though. I dropped them for good reasons.
Solid list other than Thor.
Good to see Flintstones getting some love, although a bit too late.
Haven't read Shade, TCG since I'm currently working through Shade, TCM.

My Favorite Thing is Monsters definitely deserves to be at number one and I very much recommend it. It's a great coming of age/murder mystery
>>92917438
>All that pretentious drivel
Fuck me, Never let Americans or Spics near fiction again.
>>92917900
Oh boy, Another Novel designed for the bored housewife slapdashed with shit art, how will we do without such tripe.
>>92917900
I should read it, since my favorite thing is also monsters
I keep meaning to catch up on Shade. Is it really that good?
>With the Jane Foster Thor saga, Aaron has incorporated a meta-element into the comic seamlessly, as Odin’s rejection of female Thor represents comic fans who can’t handle change, especially change involving women. Odin—the ultimate old white man—stands for male domination at its worst, and he’s supported by dumbass followers who hang “False Thor” signs that mirror the complaints of change-hating and/or misogynist fans. When Foster clobbers Odin with Mjolnir, it’s a beautiful moment. As she puts it, “…when you’re a ninety-pound woman dying of cancer…it does feel pretty good to punch god in the face.” Mark Peters
