As you know, SOLRAD is up and running full steam. My list of the Best 20 comics of the decade is now live over there, so I’d encourage you to check it out.
One of the things I said in my intro is that there was a final pass list of over 100 books, which is true. Here are all the books that were considered but not chosen for my list.
I have a lot of love and affection for this whole set of comics, so this was very difficult for me. Regardless, I hope you enjoy my “rest of the best.”
