>>77524614
Yeah, I don't know what Attack on Titan is doing there.
Listen, I'm not even one of those people that just hates Whor for no reason and any mention of her drives me insane, but it is objectively not good. I mean, there's no way in hell you could make an argument that it belongs in the running here.
>>77524545
They didn't even nominate the good Aaron Thor shit but they nominate Whor
>>77524545
Male protagonists are dead.
It's about time.
>goodreads is a site full of women
>they vote for books women read (which include BDSM fantasies)
Not a surprise at all actually.
>>77524545
>Lumberjanes, Whor
The fuck?
>>77524545
>Sunstone
Isn't that the guy who does all thr bondage porn?
>>77524614
Kate Beaton isn't so bad.
>>77524795
Did Fifty Shades of Gray ever win est book?
>>77524823
Besides being an unfunny radical feminist.
>>77524685
That didn't come out this year.
>>77524831
>In December 2012, it won both "Popular Fiction" and "Book of the Year" categories in the UK National Book Awards
That plus 125 million sales.
>>77524801
Lumberjanes is a pretty big hit with the younger audience.
It makes sense that it's there.
>>77524840
>unfunny
lol look at this neckbeard. just because i disagree with her politics doesn't mean i can't find her comic funny.
>>77524861
>>77524795
>>77524545
I think I just vomited in my mouth.
>>77524545
At least Squirrel Girl isn't on there anymore.
>>77524803
That IS the bondage porn, anon.
>>77524913
No, but her lack of funny comics does mean I can't find her comic funny.
>>77524823
Kate Beaton has charm and is educated. The problem with her is one she can't prevent, like the brood of talentless tweens trying ot imitate her style and humor.
I feel like a lot of that top row is not from 2015.
I'm blanking on my personal top of 2015
Is there a website with all the years releases so when /co/ does their top lists we have something to pull from
>>77524962
well...alright then...wasn't expecting porn of all things on the list. Heck, I expected Squirrel Girl or Batgirl.
>>77525041
Squirrel Girl was in the semifinals.
>>77525007
Maybe it's your lack of humor
>>77524545
oh god it hurts to look at
Do we hate Fraction Hawkeye now? I'm I supposed to start doing that to fit-in?
>>77525143
The general consensus (as far as I can tell) is that Aja is great, Fraction is meh and the delays killed all interest in the book
Yeah, they have such bad taste.
They should learn from /co/ because we have good taste.
When they pick comics like Saga and Hawkeye, it's because their taste is awful.
When we pick comics like Saga and Hawkeye as our Best Ongoing of the Year, it's because our taste is awesome.
And when we /co/mrades vote comics like Johns' Forever Evil or Slott's Spider-Man as the Best Graphic Novel of the Year, it's because we are the best at voting objectively.
>>77525220
>>77525220
>/co/ is a hivemind
>Sunstone
What the hell is Nimona? Judging by the cover it looks like another quirky "fantasy with contemporary themes and values" bullshit.
So we need to get Ms Marvel to win, right?
I hope Sunstone wins this, just on the off chance that the "BDSM is problematic" crowd catches wind of it.
>>77525220
>he doesn't like forever evil
>>77525334
Bro, the amount of posters on /co/ is dwarfed by several orders of magnitude by the Goodreads userbase. We can't affect shit.
And any bot use would just get thrown out as goobergator trolling or w/e
>>77525351
To be honest I was much more of a fan of the random single page comics than when he tried to pull it all together into "Sunstone".
Still funny to see it there though, and considering how awful some of the other nominations are it should be in with a shout at least.
>>77525354
Do you think that it was the best graphic novel of the entire year?
Is whore even a graphic novel?
>>77525656
>Best Graphic Novels & Comics
>& Comics
Hsawkeye is from 2015?
>>77524545

>MUH PROGRESSIVENESS: The Countdown
Why even pretend you're picking the best at anything? What garbage site made this garbage list?
>>77525690
Ok then.
Wait am I voting for the entirety of Fraction's Hawkeye, the good part at the beggining or only Rio Bravo?
>>77525710
>>77525712
Are you drunk or high or something?
>>77525728
Cry more
>>77524545
>The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage
Now there's a title I'd never expect to see.
Beaton sticks out from all the other entries by virtue of being entirely in the comic strip format.
>>77525757
>link is in the OP
>"IN ALL THE WORLD WIDE WEB, WHAT SITE COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE FROM?????"
lol
>>77524545
>Attack on Titan
>A nominee
But it's art is pretty crap at times.
>Whor
But why? It's genuinely badly written and I'm not the type to scream tumblr and SJW at anything vaguely considered progressive. This book is just bad. I'm sure they could find something "progressive" that's better written than this shit.
>>77525807
And the story and dialogues are crap a lot of times.
>>77525220
No one's saying /co/ doesn't have shit taste too, our taste is probably worse.
>>77525703
That's the final volume which didn't come out until this year.
>>77525470
Johns fanboys believe Johns is better than Gaiman or Morrison
>>77525872
Gaiman is massively, massively overratedLucifer > Sandman
>>77525872
Morrison fanboys think Morrison hasn't written complete shit.
>there are people who actually like Attack on Titan
I can understand it being the fotm anime but I tried to read the manga because I was sort of interested in what was happening but it goes nowhere.
>>77525872
Johns usually does quite well.
The only thing I know of that he just fucked right up is Superboy.
>tfw you just bought Step Aside, Pops.
>tfw when no regrets, it's great
That book deserves to win. Everything else can go fuck itself. Maybe not Saga.
>>77526397
>tumblr reads comics starter pack
I do like Kate Beaton though
>>77524885
Fair enough.
I am interested in Sunstone because I love yuri and porn. Is it worth it?
>>77526101
I watched the anime for the humor. The retard looking titans, Jaeger punting a baby, Female Titan using a guy as a yo-yo, the anti-titan prayer circle getting stepped on, that kind of stuff. Never really gave a shit about the plot, and there was no point caring about the characters since they died so fast.
>>77524545
the lovelace and babbage one is good in a weird way, since the art reflects Ada's belief that her imagination and Byronic temperament is an aberration that only the mystic-seeming powers of math and logic can restrain
Goddamn it, there were some actually quality choices left in the semi-finals, this is so disappointing. Fuck it, these choices are so bad I probably will vote for Sunstone just for the novelty of hoping to see porn win.
Best case scenario, Ms. Marvel wins or maybe Hawkeye.
Worst case scenario, anything else.
>no multiversity or Grayson
Shit tier list
>goodreads
>>77526828
I voted for Ms Marvel just because winning an award or two might lead to a decent cartoon
>>77525828
This is what happens when you let everyone vote. Awards should be decided by a committee of qualified judges, not every fuck in the world who probably hasn't even read/watched/played all the nominees.
>>77525220
cheeky/10
>Slott's Spiderman as GNOTY
When the fuck has that ever happened, /co/ hates Slott and they always have.
How far did Sandman: Overture make it?
Also, while I'm not especially happy with this list, what would you have put on it? I'm not especially up to date on current releases.
>>77526986
>/co/ hates Slott and they always have.
/co/ didn't start turning on Slott until the second half of Superior.
>>77526986
>/co/ hates Slott and they always have
>they always have
/co/ fucking loved Slott's Spider-man, along with his Initiative, She-Hulk, and Mighty Avengers up until the Alpha arc of his Spider-man when opinion started to sour on him and it didn't go full on meme hate until ASM700.
>Goodreads
It's like a book version of Myanimelist with the audience having approximately the same knowledge of and appreciation for what they're reviewing. Pretty much anything old that someone may have had to read for school is gonna be "overrated pretentious shit", but all the modern pop literature that got Hollywood blockbusters or trendy TV series is treated like the fucking holy grail of literature.
>>77524840
Beaton's work is about as impressive as Cyanide & Happiness or XKCD but it's more try-hard "classy" in its art style and she has the objectively correct political opinions so it got into the "elite comics" clique.
>>77526986
>has a name and tripcode
>is a total newfriend who thinks that they're an oldfriend
LOL
I want to comment on it, but the only thing that sticks out is how US-centric it is.
I like Sunstone.
I didn't read anything else on this list because I don't read garbage (Honestly, the first two volumes of Hawkeye didn't interest me enough, but it isn't horrible)
My opinions >>>> Your opinions
>No Lastman
How can you have trash like Thor and Lumberjanes up there but not Lastman?
>>77524545
Oh god, that EVERYTHING. I can't breathe.
>best
Jesus fuck, I'm dieing.
>>77526986
/co/ voted that Dan Slott's Spider-Island was the absolute very best graphic novel in the year that it came out.
Hawkeye was good though, right? I enjoyed the entire series throughout. The biggest negative was all the delays. I wouldn't say it's the best graphic novel of the year, not even close, but still it is pretty great. Am I crazy? Did /co/ stop liking that series?
And Saga is still pretty good albeit not as good as the first couple volumes.
Haven't read the rest.
>>77528102
>Realizing I lied
Yeah, I do read saga, and I actually like it, but vol 4 is trash and no one will argue that it isn't
>>77529060
>Hawkeye was good though, right? I enjoyed the entire series throughout. The biggest negative was all the delays. I wouldn't say it's the best graphic novel of the year, not even close, but still it is pretty great. Am I crazy? Did /co/ stop liking that series?
You must knees deep in pussy with that confidence of yours.
THREE times begging for your taste to be approved.
>>77524545
>That AoT cover
That's some prime reaction material.
>>77524861
And then the UK banned bondage.
attack on titan is like the icing on the cake. guess this goes to show what kind of people actually bother voting
>>77525380

>Latest "nerds are evil" controversy gets started over us trying to get a female-written book starring a muslim protagonist the top award
I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty damn funny to me.
>>77524545
do people just walk into a comic book store, look at all the shit on the walls and go "okay, i'm a comic reader, time to tell everyone my opinions!"
>>77529387
Why not? Comics are fucking expensive
Is Sunstone anything other than lesbian BDSM?
>>77524545
>Sejic
Since when did we call peple by there slave names.
His name is Nebezial.
>>77525317
It originally was a webcomic of some sorts about a shapeshifter who becomes an assisstant of a notorious villain, in a medieval meets digital "monk-punk" universe...and with the goofy feeling of the Pirates of the Carribean movies too. I personally was quite an avid reader / fan of it - even joined in the Disqus community - before it got fleshed out as a printed comic.The original webcomic ending got me really puzzled though. Like, there was supposed to be a little bit more to what has changed inside of Nimona after the Big Climax, but the story seems to just stopped there.
>>77526664
It's less pornographic than a Fucking HBO TV series. Just talking heads pretty outfits and the rare nipple. Nebezial is just Shiniez without balls.
>>77529340
>Latest "nerds are evil" controversy gets started over us trying to get a female-written book starring a muslim protagonist the top award
>>77531192
I really mean it, someone start setting up bots and someone else make a Tumblr account to complain about it.
>>77531303
it's probably be cheaper to hire some taiwanese wage-slaves
>>77524545
I love Ms Marvel, Kate Beaton, and Hawkeye, but best comic of the year?
Jesus
>>77524545
No.

>mangareader
>>77526664
It updates at snail pace and rarely has any porn. The plot is shit, and his attempts at humor are unbareable
The porn is good when it's there. He had a lot of pictures on there that were just porn with little to no context, but deleted a good chunk of them
>>77531666
Yeah, I'm not running to the scanner to show you my copy.
Go file a complaint.
>>77531378
Well, we don't need to rig the vote, we only need to make SJWs think we rigged it.
I can not wait for 4Chan to be the side that is politically correct.

>I can not wait for 4Chan to be the side that is politically correct.
Things I never thought I would hear.
>>77532007
The Hacker Known as 4 Chan strikes again!
>>77524545
You know, I'm not even sure why Hawkeye deserves to be a nominee.
It took too damn long to actual finish, and it was sorta mediocre. I know people love it, but I really can't see how it's so beloved aside from neat little page layouts.
I wasn't exactly a fan of how Fraction portrayed Clint either. Like I didn't mind Kate Bishop, but Clint...
>>77524614
Deadpool COTY
>>77533295
2015 hasn't been anywhere near as good for him as 2013 was
>>77533294
It would've made much more sense if it was the first volume, back when it was still fresh and innovative.
>>77533294
the whole thing is public vote
>>77524545
Whats marvel doing there?
Its just a collection of issues from a series.
Its a TPB, not graphic novel
Image is also not ok.
And attack on titan isnt a graphic novel.
>>77524619
And can be bought.
Also its mostly "what should we nominee that shows how good we are and we care about actuallity"
Its mostly just "who should be nominated because whatever reason" than "who is good enough to be nominated?"
>>77533637
It does say "Graphics Novels & Comics".
Doesn't explain AoT though.
>>77524545
>books about quirky white girls
>and ms marvel to show they aren't racist
>>77533692
Manga doesn't have its own section, so the site users are forced to admit manga is comics.
>>77534021
>Sensible-kekle.gif
You'd think they might add a few more just for balance.
I haven't been paying attention to Moonland for awhile, there any other mangas that have taken off recently?on an unrelated note, I just found out that they've put out JoJo in hardcover in my country. I'm tempted to buy it, but I'm worried that they took all the music references out in the translation
>>77534290
Nothing Titan-level huge.
Seven Deadly Sins is the flavor of the year, another action shonen.
Boku no Hero Academia is getting pretty popular especially in the US, it's a cape manga.
Terra Formars is a popular seinen, it's like Gantz but dumber in some ways and not as dumb in some other ways.
I don't really like any of these though so I have nothing to recommend
>attack on titan
>>77534588
I've heard cool things about Boku no Hero Academia, though mainly because ofFrog waifu
