However, I generally want the best graphic novels to be stuff that’s collected for the first time — it seems somehow unfair to have someone’s debut OGN compete against “all the Spider-Man by Stan Lee,” for example. (However, I haven’t always stuck completely true to this rule — I’m pretty sure I included “Bone One Volume” and “Palomar” in my top 10 lists before.)
And I think it’ll get even more tricky — do webcomics deserve their own list? Manga? Should I just suck it up and go back to one list, for comics, graphic novels, whatever? I think this year I’m sticking with the two lists, but I think the waters are muddying.
