My favorites: Comics

I was very enthusiastic about comics when I was younger. I still like the idea of comic books as a medium and read quite a lot of them, but I wish I were more often genuinely impressed and captivated by them. I can recognize quality works and appreciate them on an impersonal level, but rarely truly enjoy them. Below is my attempt to list those that I do like.

Authors

For these creators, it was difficult to give specific recommendations. I either appreciate their entire oeuvre or find that their oeuvre as a whole is more interesting than any individual part of it.
