Best of 2009

I haven't done anything on this blog since September when I started at Birmingham Uni, being busy with work (well, sometimes anyway), socialising and then just being lazy, so never got round to any reviews or solicitation previews. And now I still have two essays to do for the second week back (joy), so not likely to start doing anything regularly again, but I thought I'd do a little review of the best comics of 2009, because I've been thinking about it and thought I might as well.

Anywayyyyyyyy... first category, not particularly in order...
