Thanks for the feedback, Craig! The first TPB of I Kill Giants came out in 2009, so we couldn't consider it for this year's list, but I agree: it's a terrific story, and one that will resonate with a lot of teens. The hardcover edition that was released this year would make a great addition to any library's graphic novel collection. I haven't had a chance to read The Little Prince, but I'm glad to hear it's good; I'm a big fan of Sfar's Little Vampire, which is an all-too-rare example of an all-ages book that really works for kids and adults.

A useful list and effort to help sort the wheat from the chaff in bumper crop of graphics coming out these days. I would add that I think Sfar’s adaptation of “The Little Prince” and Kelly’s “I Kill Giants” deserve mention and inclusion in “Best of 2010.”

I enjoyed reading your list and wrote down some titles for when I get my next paycheck. My 8th graders absolutely love Smile by Raina Telgemeier. The captain of our football team, an African-American male, has been encouraging his friends to read it, because he liked it so much. It speaks to both boys and girls of different races and ethnicities.

I can’t wait to get a copy of Yummy. I don’t know why it isn’t in the stores around me. We’ve got significant gang activity in the area where I teach, so this will be a good book for my kids.
