Archives - Graphic Novel Reporter Newsletter

This is the last time we’ll “speak” before the new year, so I wanted to take this time to thank you all for a great year. This was an amazing 12 months for the site, for me personally, and for graphic novels in general; I’m incredibly pleased and grateful that we have such loyal and discerning readers.

The year is winding down, and that means it’s time to think about all those things you think about at the end of every year: things accomplished, things not accomplished, what was fun, what you’re looking forward to, and what you can do even better. And, of course, when you run a website devoted to comics, you think about concocting a best-of list that focuses on the great graphic novels and manga you read over the past 12 months, which I was more than happy to do. Right now on GNR, you’ll find my picks for my favorites of the year. I couldn’t narrow it down any further than my top 20…coming up with a top 10 was just too difficult. I also wanted to include a best-of-2010 manga list, so I asked our great reviewer Casey Brienza to name her favorites.
