As long as Brian K. Vaughan is writing comic books he'll probably be the best writer. He's like Frank Miller and Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore were in decades past: pillars of the field, legendary. I will admit that Barrier, his weird web comic, was a beautifully drawn misfire (Marcos Martin did the pencils), but Paper Girls got weirder, funnier, and better than it's ever been this year and Saga continued to entertain in strange, amusing, and touching ways. Both Saga and Paper Girls are so totally fucked up in the best sense. They're light years from anything "normal" or safe and yet they're hugely satisfying and sheer page-turners. It was another banner year for Vaughan.
