Every year, the good folks at Publishers Weekly ask all of us lucky writers who review comics for them to put our votes in for what we thought were the best books of the year. The results came out this week in their Annual Graphic Novel Critics Poll.

The winner was Emil Ferris’s My Favorite Thing is Monsters. Some of the runners-up were:

• Everything is Flammable by Gabrielle Bell
• The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui
• My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi
