Incognegro - wish Mat Johnson would write more comics I like his work and I want to read the sequel as well
Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm
Scalped
Why I Hate Saturn - lovely work by Kyle Baker
Shade The Changing Man
Other favorites after the top 5
The Invisibles - began to lose interest when Boy left the team and I liked the concept of Jim Crow (voodoo practitioner and gangsta rapper) more than the execution
Lucifier - wanted to like this comic more than I did but I couldn't stand most of the supporting cast except for Mazikeen, Misubi (think that was her name), Michael, and the burlesque performer (Jill?)
King David - yes more Kyle Baker please
Federal Bureau of Physics
Air
Saucer County
Right State
Doom Patrol - they did Celsius dirty in Morrison's run and I didn't see the point in doing that with her but what I've read apart from that was nice; I want to read Rachel Pollock's work because what I've heard about it sounded interesting
Army @ Love
Preacher
