INQUIRE ABOUT ADVERTISING ON TROUBLE WITH COMICS

Trouble with Comics, 2011: The Year In Comics I Want

2011: The Year In Comics I Want

Time Magazine’s Techland has a new post up by Douglas Wolk running down a handful of 2011 graphic novels of note…and it’s interesting to me that although only two titles on there will be on my must-buy list (Mister Wonderful by Dan Clowes and Paying For It by Chester Brown), both are really on my must-buy list, like, I’d skip a meal or two to make sure I have them.

In addition to those two, I have already pre-ordered the Captain America Operation Rebirth Premiere Hardcover because I love the original Waid/Garney run on that title and have been waiting for a nice hardcover collection forever, Conan Vol. 10: Iron Shadows On The Moon, which will complete my hardcover Busiek/Truman Conan collection at long last (I am really bummed that Truman is leaving the title), and Gotham Central Vol. 4: Corrigan Deluxe Hardcover, which completes the HC reissues of that beloved and much-missed title.

I’ve also got a standing order for the Alan Moore Swamp Thing hardcover reissues (still kicking myself for ever selling off those original issues), and will be buying the final issue of Neonomicon (Moore and Jacen Burrows are doing amazing work on that title) in 2011, and will continute to buy Criminal, Incognito, and anything else Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips create together. I’ve also been buying Fraction’s Iron Man in hardcover and enjoying it, and I think that actually covers all the comics I expect to buy this year. Not many ongoing titles in there, huh?

What are you looking forward to in 2011?
