Looks like a good list. Now I’ll have to read Battlepug.
I am so happy to have Bloom County back.
Congrats to everyone, but I’m particularly stoked for Tom King, and his work on The Vision. Magnificent stuff.
They apparently were really impressed by the Peanuts book. I’ll have to go looking for it.
Yay for “TJ and Amal”! 🙂
