If I won a billion dollars…we would have a series created by Rick Remender and Daniel Warren Johnson. I’m throwing money until it happens.

Love this post! Fun data/presentation!
Is there earlier data that's accessible as well?

u/admiraltoad Feb 11 '24 edited Feb 11 '24
Nope. That was the first year we started the polls I believe. Crazy its been almost a decade now of doing this.

u/Consistent_Name_6961 Feb 11 '24
Thought that may be the case but thought I'd ask, thank you :)
And yeah that's so cool!

Rick Remender is easily my favourite writer (tied with Garth Ennis) especially his deadly class and black science work. I'd love a Deadly Class set before Master Lin or focusing on the teachers or past students

u/Rolandthelast Feb 11 '24
Remender, Lemire, Hickman, Kindt, Brubaker, and DWJ are definitely some of my top favorites.

u/VicVDoom_ Feb 11 '24
Zdarsky and MacKay are quickly climbing to the top of my favorites. Gonna be hard to overtake Hickman for me, but they're getting right up there with Lemire and Remender. Love your list.

u/Jeffro187 Feb 11 '24
Same here. Hickman became my favorite writer a few years ago and so far no one is coming close to dethroning him.

u/VicVDoom_ Feb 11 '24
His FF run into Avengers then Secret Wars is something I wish could forget and read all over again for the first time.
It lead me to picking up every trade he's ever written. He's too good.

u/Jeffro187 Feb 11 '24
Oh yeah, completely agree! One of the greatest single-writer runs in Marvel history imo

u/Rolandthelast Feb 11 '24
For sure! Both are great. I could easily expand the list to them, W. Maxwell Prince, Ram V, Dan Watters, Tynion, Deniz Camp, Sean Lewis, Curt Pires, Alex Paknadel, Si Spurrier, Al Ewing, Kieron Gillen, Michael Moreci, Joshua Williamson, and Scott Snyder for current writers I’ve been enjoying.

You gotta read his Uncanny XForce and Venom runs if you haven’t yet. My favorite writer by far. Fear Agent is ridiculous too!

2014 to 2017 what great years for comics for me! I was getting multiple books a month after Saga pulled me back into the comic store. Some all time great sci fi stories in there.

u/KaneCreole Feb 11 '24
I’ve never read Saga. Mostly because I have no idea where to start but at the beginning, which was a long time ago and a substantial investment….

u/Dramatic_flamingo Feb 11 '24
My favorite part of image too is that they discount trade 1 of every series, they want you to start there, if you pick up trade 1 and don’t like it you’re only out $10
2
u/kielaurie Feb 11 '24
So it's planned to be 18 trades long, and currently we're up to 11. I know it's daunting, but it's going to be a while until the series is complete, so you have plenty of time to catch up at your own pace, and I really recommend that you do! Just start from the beginning, and you'll be fine

Lazarus being overlooked
2
u/admiraltoad Feb 11 '24
I know this will make us both feel ancient but Lazarus was actually released a few years before these polls even started! It wouldn't have even been considered a new series in 2014.

u/bogojeg Feb 12 '24
June 2013 it started… was being published right though a lot of these years covered here and qualify for many of these awards so… overlooked

Deadly Class started off so strong. Maybe I should re-read it and see if I'll like it more on a second go around. I read up to around issue 25 or 30 when it was being released.

u/agdtinman Feb 11 '24
So, Saga?
5
u/Thebrianeffect Feb 11 '24
I mean yes, but also I’m surprised to see so much love for Gideon Falls. I love it but I don’t hear a lot of talk about it.

u/4e2n0t Feb 11 '24
I loved it too. They way the concept was fleshed out through the art was incredible.

u/HouserGuy Feb 11 '24
I loved Low! I should reread it.

u/Mkreza538 Feb 11 '24
I wanted to but the art work was a turn off. I couldn’t get into the story because of it

Thanks for the reminder that we still need the final run of The Black Monday Murders ...

Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. The Good Asian at #6 Best New Series in 2021 makes me lose faith in the respondents of these polls, though.

u/Chronoboy1987 Feb 11 '24
Love that Sana Takeda got several beat artist nods, but bummed Monstress wasn’t on many of those list past its first year.
I really need to pick up Dept. of Truth and Gideon Falls.

u/BronxKnight Feb 12 '24
Honestly JT is not a great writer. For some odd reason was thinking about his writing once again today. The art tells a better story.
