Let’s get one very important thing out of the way. When you read as many titles as I do, 31 is a genuine squeeze. I learned very quickly when making this list that whenever I used to tell people a series was “easily in my top 10” I had absolutely no idea just how impossible that would actually be to guarantee.
Not only does this mean that 31 is actually a high scoring entry (if I scored them) but I guarantee you it means what didn’t make it may very well have been something I tried to fight for as best as I could. Honorable mentions going to both Apple Black, and The Sandman, both series that I wanted to try and fit in, but just didn’t leave as big of a mark as what did make it.
This also means coming 31st doesn’t mean a bad entry or bad result, if it’s in here I rate it highly enough that something else didn’t take its spot; No entries are going through a scoring system though, this isn’t an olympic event with clear aspects of each that you can easily compare from one to the other, these are all their own stories, and what gives them a higher or lower position boils down to my personal tastes.
I personally rate my tastes pretty highly, but mileage is obviously going to vary for the rest of you reading these. If I remember how to enable comments on my site I’ll be more than happy to read any thoughts you have (even the ones that may choose to tell me I’m making a terrible mistake putting X at position Y)
