This week’s guest: A Galaxy of Stars!

Well everyone is doing it, and even in a year that’s hard not to call a burning pile of trash like 2016, we couldn’t resist the siren call of list-making. So The Party Boys are here to talk about the best/their favorite comics from the past year! Mike & Zack have brought in a  veritable “Cast of Thousands” to help sketch the edges of 2016’s comics releases & each one will talk about one of their favorite books of the year.

To start, Mike & Zack trot out their list, with the caveat that they didn’t read everything they wanted to read this year, so the list is incomplete, and very subjective, and yadda-yadda etc etc, the same thing everyone always says. They were both supposed to come up with lists but Mike looked at Zack’s list and said “well I agree with most of that” and added a couple more to the pile and called it a day.

So with the caveat that we didn’t read everything we wanted to read this year, so the list is incomplete, and very subjective, and yadda-yadda etc etc, here is the list we came up with:
