Over the last few months there have been many, many websites with \u201cBest of 2018\u201d lists concerning comic books and graphic novels. If you\u2019ve looked at a few, you may have noticed some of the same books on different lists and seen some unique to only that list.<\/p>\n

I went through over 194 different \u201cBest Of\u201d Lists regarding comic books and graphic novels and combined them into a spreadsheet. There are over 3,000 different listings of books from these websites. I should note that I\u2019ve included books that were given honorable mentions. In short, if somebody thought it was a good book that you should check out, it\u2019s on here. Pivot tables have been created to show which books appeared on the number of lists. Here are the books with 5 mentions or more:<\/p>\n

Of interest Tillie Walden’s On a Sunbeam, which showed up as a web comic in 2016 and 2017 now shows up at #3 in print form on this years list. Olivia Jaimes take on Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy<\/a> is the top ranking web comic (unless you count On a Sunbeam) getting far more mentions than any webcomic previously. While I normally remove the issue\u00a0number on mainstream titles to make the list more useful to readers, I made an exception with Chip Zdarsky’s Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #310 because so many people made reference to it. Also, Captain America is on here with 6 mentions but 2 of those mentions were for the Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, Matthew Wilson run.<\/p>\n

The full spreadsheet with pivot tables for books, writers, artists, publishers and more is available here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nRegarding Publishers:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Image was the most popular with 90 different titles.<\/p>\n

DC and Marvel are tied for 2nd with 73 different titles.<\/p>\n

Fantagraphics is 3rd with 52 different titles.<\/p>\n

Dark Horse has 42 titles.<\/p>\n

Boom! did well with 33 titles.<\/p>\n

104 Self-Published books made the list too.<\/p>\n

Caveats:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Where a reviewer\/writer wrote \u2018best of\u2019 lists for multiple websites, I\u2019ve cross referenced their lists and removed books that were named twice. I did not think it would be fair if those writers could tip the popularity scale by naming the same book(s) over and over again on multiple websites. Sadly, there was an increase of websites publishing lists with no credit to who (of whom) created the list. In those cases I marked them as Unknown but the practice of not crediting writers is a shameful one.<\/p>\n

If a writer wrote for multiple sites, but one of those sites picks was a group effort, I did not remove books that are listed twice.<\/p>\n

I generally did not include lists that were a mixed of prose books and graphic novels unless there were a significant number of graphic novels on the list.<\/p>\n

I did not use lists where the website was not in English and the books appeared to be translated versions.<\/p>\n

With inkers and colourists I often, but not always included them within the Artist section. Where there were multiple (usually more than 5) involved in a book, or in the title\u2019s run over the course of the year, Various was used of listing them all. In some cases I combined those involved even if they worked on the title for different issues.<\/p>\n

For simplicity sake, if a list named a specific comic book issue or specific volume of a graphic novel, I removed those specifics and just listed the series title, with rare exceptions. Apologies to the reviewers of those books.<\/p>\n

Some writers included books that were technically published in 2017 and at least 1 just listed best books they read that year, but the vast majority of those lists were 2018 books. The number of non 2018 books in the spreadsheet is very tiny and insignificant to the overall list.<\/p>\n

Most of the lists were general \u2018best\/favourite books\u2019 of 2018, but I also included lists dedicated to young readers, manga, etc\u2026 What type list is noted on column B in the spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

A small number of lists also had rankings and those are included in Column C.<\/p>\n

This list of website this list is compiled from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
