Mine are pretty simple, and, to get ahead of your arguments, if it’s not on either the best or worst lists, that doesn’t mean I didn’t think it was good – or even great! For all the Hel of 2016 and its celebrity killing spree, 2016 had a lot of outstanding new content, stories, and art. It was, in retrospect, an embarrassment of riches for the entertainment and literature circuit – though you’d never know it listening to the show (so Charles tells me).

Anyway, here’s my list:

BEST of 2016

COMIC – Reborn – Millar / Cappulo
TV TIE – Luke Cage / Preacher
MOVIE – Star Trek Beyond / Deadpool

WORST OF 2016

COMICS TIE – Mighty Thor – Jason Aaron / All Star Batman – Snyder
TV – Legends of Tomorrow
MOVIE – Suicide Squad

EXCEPTIONAL COMICS 2016

March – Rep. John Lewis
Bitch Planet – Kelly Sue
A-Force – G. Willow Wilson Kelly Thompson
Unworthy Thor – Jason Aaron
Hellblazer – Oliver / Moritat
Old Man Logan – Lemire / Andrade

GREAT AND THEN GARBAGE

Mighty Thor – Jason Aaron  (Lady Thor – YAY! / Talking hammer … Jesus wept)
