In case you missed it, our boy Sandy over at I Love Rob Liefeld (before you flip out over the name, read his explanation for why he named his site that) posted his Best Comics of 2009 Meta-List for all to see today. Over the past while Sandy has posted many of these Meta-Lists, all of which are aggegated rankings based off bloggers and reviewers rankings of comic titles on their end of year/decade lists. This year’s list is unsurprising, but for those that haven’t read a lot of more critically acclaimed titles, this is a good base to start your reading list off of.
My favorite graphic novel of the year, Asterios Polyp, finished #1 overall, while my top ongoing series of the year, Scalped, finished at #12.
