The Best 93 Comics Of 2015, From 94 Lists

  1. topIn the new year, I compiled "Best Of 2015" comic book lists from 38 different places. Jamie Colville has done a little better, counting 94 Best Of lists, gaining similar – but not identical results.  He took a similar approach to me, tagging any mention with a vote and collating the votes together.

Here are his top 93 – anything that got 5 votes or more… shared by Step Aside Pops and Ms Marvel at the top.
