Top 10 Comics of the Decade – According to Techland.com

This week saw the release of techland.com‘s top 10 comic book picks of the last decade. Now don’t get me started on the fact that the decade doesn’t end till next year, but overall I do like their list:

#1 Ultimates#2 - 100 Bullets
1. The Ultimates (Marvel Comics)
2. 100 Bullets (DC/Vertigo Comics)

#3 - Planetary#4 - All Star Superman
3. Planetary (Wildstorm)
4. All Star Superman (DC Comics)

#5 - The Walking Dead#6 - The Authority
5. The Walking Dead (Image Comics)
6. The Authority (Wildstorm)

#7 - Mouse Guard#8 - Blankets
7. Mouse Guard (Archaia Studios)
8. Blankets (Top Shelf Productions)

#9 - Invincible#10 - Y The Last Man
9. Invincible (Image Comics)
10. Y: The Last Man (DC/Vertigo Comics)

Techland has some good descriptions about each title, so I won’t try to paraphrase their good work. I will say that I have read 80% of these titles and will gladly pick up the other 20% to see what I have missed. Many of these are ongoing and I still follow them, like Ultimates, The Authority and Planetary (though it has taken over a decade for them to eek out a meager 27 issues).

Some of the best titles have ended, like Y: The Last Man and 100 Bullets. Oh, and Hollywood if your listening, 100 Bullets could be made into an excellent HBO series almost overnight. And for those not in the know, Y has already been optioned and we are looking at a film release in the next couple of years.

Hey, the holidays are here, grab something off the list for the comic book fans and even the not so comic book fans. There truly is something for everyone.
