recommended for: new comics readers, people looking for variety
this book did exactly what i wanted it to do for me: get me started on comics/graphic novels. i had no idea where to begin, so i started here. it contained work i liked, and work i didn't. i followed up on the ones i liked, getting works by the same artists/authors (what is the proper term for someone who creates comics??), and i'm going from there.
i don't really care whether or not this book contained really the "best" comics of 2007... that's such a subjective endeavor, anyway. i enjoyed reading this book, and it's a fun one to have on my shelf.
NOTE: don't miss the info at the end of the book, providing bios of each author, including a little description/overview/interpretation of the comic which is in the collection. it was very interesting and i wish i had read them all before, or immediately after, i read each comic in the book.
