10 Of The <http://io9.com/5423355/10-of-the-decades-best-sf-comics> Decade's Best SF Comics
It's been the decade where comic culture took over pop culture, and superheroes became movie stars. But what are some of our picks for the best comics from the last ten years? We're glad you - okay, we - asked. If it's the end of a decade, then it's time for multiple Best Of The Decade lists. This isn't exactly one of them, though, despite what it looks like; for one thing, even if it was, you'd all disagree with it and complain that we left off something essential - although anyone arguing for the inclusion of Ultimatum, we believe that can be disproven through the use of science and charts - and for another, we've not read every single thing published in the last decade, so for all we know, there's something really obvious that we'll have somehow overlooked through accident instead of malice. Instead of The Ten Best, then, these are Ten Of The Best (Click on the titles for our explanations why and, in some cases, runners-up to the list that we couldn't help but sneak in): 100% <http://io9.com/5424910/100> by Paul Pope <http://io9.com/tag/paulpope/> (DC/Vertigo) All Star Superman <http://io9.com/5424309/all-star-superman> by Grant Morrison <http://io9.com/tag/grantmorrison/> and Frank Quitely (DC Comics) Black Hole <http://io9.com/5424656/black-hole> by Charles Burns <http://io9.com/tag/charlesburns/> (Pantheon) Casanova <http://io9.com/5424904/casanova> by Matt Fraction <http://io9.com/tag/mattfraction/> , Gabriel Ba <http://io9.com/tag/gabrielba/> and Fabio Moon <http://io9.com/tag/fabiomoon/> (Image Comics) Laika <http://io9.com/5424914/laika> by Nick Abadzis <http://io9.com/tag/nickabadzis/> (First Second Books) Planetes <http://io9.com/5424918/planetes> by Makoto Yukimura <http://io9.com/tag/makotoyukimura/> (Tokyopop) Pluto <http://io9.com/5424925/pluto> by Osamu Tazuka <http://io9.com/tag/osamutazuka/> and Naoki Urasawa <http://io9.com/tag/naokiurasawa/> (Viz Media) Scott Pilgrim <http://io9.com/5424938/scott-pilgrim> by Bryan Lee <http://io9.com/tag/bryanleeomalley/> O'Malley (Oni Press) We3 <http://io9.com/5424945/we3> by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (DC/Vertigo) Y The Last Man <http://io9.com/5424950/y-the-last-man> by Brian K.
