It was the year of Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staple's
Saga. Sorry if you're tired of hearing about it...but it was the best book of the year and the first issue was the best issue of the year. It was well written and beautifully drawn but the reason that it was superior to everything else was the fact that it delivered on the hype. A new Vaughn book is rare; this one is already right up there with his best,
Y: the Last Man. I suppose it's because it has everything; action and romance, weirdness and emotion, great heroes and great villains, and even a great letter column. The first issue had people with TV's for heads having sex and an alligator butler...also one hell of a last page. This was just epic and sublime at the very same time. This is why we read comics.
