Hey guys. The best of 2013 thread was a great introduction to quite a few titles for me. I was wondering if any of you would mind sharing your favorite books of 2014 as well?

I'm not very good about keeping up with new titles, but two of my favorites this year were Saga and Lazarus.

My LCS recommended Sex Criminals, and I read an issue or two, but it didn't quite grab me. I need to read some more of it.

I don't really keep track of what's new or old anymore. I read stuff that I hear about and it could be from 2015 or 1975 as far as I know.

That said, I look forward to seeing recommendations here!

i did a quick count... i read about 240 *volumes* (not issues) released in 2014 -- so, not counting any i read this year which came out previously -- and these were the top ten percent. it was hard to narrow it down. i actually still have more from the year that ive bought but not read yet. i hit all the major stuff though. for example i really really liked how original sin began and then was kinda bored by the end so it didnt chart for me.
