The Best American Comics #2010
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of the acclaimed annual series, guest-edited by Neil Gaiman, curates a diverse selection of the year's finest graphic narratives from North America. It includes work from a wide range of cartoonists, with a notable excerpt from Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series, alongside other standout pieces from the independent and alternative comics scene of 2009-2010.
"Ceci N'est Pas une Comic" by Josh Neufeld is a powerful, on-the-ground narrative from the 2010 edition of The Best American Comics, capturing the raw immediacy of life in the aftermath of a disaster. Through intimate, real-time vignettes, it follows Abbas and Darnell as floodwaters rise, Leo and Michelle in Houston grappling with their flooded apartment, Denise and her family evacuated from a flooded hospital, and the Doctor moving through the French Quarter offering aid—each thread converging in the overwhelmed New Orleans Convention Center, where chaos begins to take hold. The story’s stark, hand-drawn visuals and tight, observational storytelling are all by Neufeld, whose singular voice brings urgency and humanity to the moment. The cover, by Michael Cho, reflects the issue’s grounded, poignant tone.
