I’m not doing a Top 10 list this year. The move to Ohio has meant me spending less on comics and more on silly little things like food. I will highlight some books that I genuinely enjoyed, though: Incognegro by Mat Johnson and Warren Pleece, which would’ve definitely ranked high on my list, Chiggers by Hope Larson, Water Baby by Ross Campbell, The Hole by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, and though I didn’t buy it (too expensive), I have no doubt that I would’ve loved Comic Book Tattoo by Tori Amos and a cast of thousands, based on what I saw of it. I’ve also enjoyed a number of online comics, including Clockwork Game by Jane Irwin and Bayou by Jeremy Love. So that’s as much of a top ten as you’re gonna get from me this year. Sorry.

A Martha Washington film looks like it could happen.
