What follows is not a definitive list but a collection of answers to the question “what’s a good comic you’ve read recently?” It’s an impressive list, both wide and broad. As a teacher I can state that five years ago a class like this would not have had such a diverse selection.
I’m typing the titles from our notes so I apologize if any spellings are wrong. I’m not going to link everything either since most of this you can find with a google search. Feel free to contribute corrections or additions in the comments field.
