Josh’s Book Shelf

An old friend of mine wrote up a great list of his comic picks from last year. Here’s a snippet:

This is just the beginning. And what a better way to start than with a list of my favorite books of 2008 and why I loved each one of them. Following this will come more lengthy reviews of the books I love and often feature on the Josh’s Book Shelf rack at the Library Store location of Night Flight Comics.

I love good storytelling of any kind, but I think that comics is one of the few unadulterated mediums in which a creator can truly tell the story they want to. But there‘s a lot of books out there, and a lot of crap. I want to use this to highlight what I think comics have to offer at their very best.

Although I think he missed out on a few great books from last year (Ultimate Spider-Man, Old Man Logan), I really enjoyed his Best of ’08. I hope he does regular reviews on comics and graphic novels.
