2018 has been a big year for me personally and professionally. It’s also been big artistically. This year I moved from my home in Santa Cruz. I lived in that house longer than any other in my life.

As is traditional these days, here is an end-of-the-year list. These are not necessarily comics and graphic novels published this year, though many of them were, but a list of what I read in the past twelve months. This is, as it must be, a partial list.
