Our Dark Overlord suggested that this year, instead of the usual Comics Should Be Good group post about the Best Of The Year, that we should each do our own individual Top Ten Best Of 2008 entry. Fine idea, in theory. Brian likes to change it up every year. And I’m always in favor of something that gives me a column subject. But I soon discovered a basic problem with this premise. I didn’t have ten. Well, I should amend that. I have ten books I bought this last year that I adored, easy. HellGuest Stamper: Michelle
