On Friday, we asked you if we got it right by naming “The Immortal Hulk” our best ongoing series for the third year running. While the results were closer than we may have imagined, our readers agreed, with 16.5% agreeing that Al Ewing and co. are making the best monthly comic out there.
Coming in second place with 10.7% of the vote was “Gideon Falls,” as series that just missed our top 10 but continues to be one of the best comics month in and month out. Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino will be wrapping up the series shortly, and we will certainly miss it when it is gone (note: I’m predicting that will have a prominent position on our “Best Completed Comics” list for 2021).
Rounding out the top three was “John Constantine: Hellblazer,” another book that our writers did not include in our top ten, but is a dearly departed series from DC’s ‘Sandman Universe’ imprint. This is an interesting book, as it was getting near universal acclaim and selling about as well as any of the other ‘Sandman Universe’ titles, but still went away. Like many of its imprints, DC needs to figure out what it is doing with the Sandman titles, and hopefully this creative team will get another shot at telling a Constantine story.
Check back on Friday for our first Reader Poll of 2021!
