With the year quickly winding down, holiday chores to catch up with, other off-line obligations, and a whole bunch of traveling, this is going to be kind of an uneven couple weeks here at KFR.

Basically, I’m apologizing in an around about way for posting quick links like the following, which nicely links to a whole bunch of 2007 Graphic Novel/Comic Best Ofs! Thanks PW!

Although I will say, despite the somewhat inexplicable “rah rah comics!” positivity you’ll find in most places, 2007 was an incredibly weak year for new material. True, we are living in a Golden Age of reprints (of comic books AND comic strips), and there was, as always, a healthy amount of good work. But compared to the monumental amount of great must-reads from the last few years, 2007 was full of mediocrity, and overall, something of a dud. What can you do.

Spread the word!
