It’s well past the reasonable allotted time for posting best of lists, but we’re still going to present you with one more. Rather than do the heavy lifting, like Andrew did with year-end lists for books, I’m just going to direct you to someone else, who’s already done it.

Bleeding Cool comprised a best of the best of lists for the past year’s comics, and came up with the top 17 books of the year. They brought together 23 lists, weighted them with a point system, and determined that the best comic book of 2013 was, obviously, Saga. Followed up by Matt Fraction’s excellent Hawkeye.

The rest of the list is a bit more random in the best possible way. Particular faves here are Young Avengers, Gene Luen Yang’s Boxers and Saints (he’s simply amazing), and Kelly Sue and Emma Rios’ Pretty Deadly, which got a bit off-track for our economists of late, but remains for me a brilliant work of mythic storytelling.

I know there’s some readers around here who are not regular comic book consumers, but are interested in the medium. Rather than trying to put together my own list (I’m not reading enough titles to make a comprehensive list by any means), I thought I’d direct interested folks to this one. Spend some time on the matter here, and you’ll find something to read.

Here’s the complete list:

1. Saga
2. Hawkeye
3. Boxers & Saints
4. Sex Criminals
5. Young Avengers
6. Batman
7. Battling Boy
8. Pretty Deadly
9. Afterlife With Archie
10. Superior Spider-Man
11. Mind MGMT
12. Nowhere Men
13. Black Beetle
14. Five Ghosts
15. Lazarus
16. The Property
17. All-New X-Men
