FOR COMIC FANS who relish a visual feast, 2011 has been a year with all the fixin’s.
DC seized the spotlight — and spawned countless comment threads and speculation — as it issued its big “New 52” lineup of rebooted titles.
Marvel grabbed headlines, too, such as when it introduced a new, biracial webslinger or extinguished the Human Torch. (There were also audio treats, as Marvel announced a new Daredevil audiobook with visually impaired fans in mind.)
And such stellar talents as Craig Thompson (“Habibi”), Dan Clowes (“The Death-Ray” and “Wilson”), (brothers) Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon (“Daytripper”), and (more brothers) Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez (“Love and Rockets: New Stories #4”) were just some of the artists and writers who delivered great “graphic novels” in 2011.
