Fantasy comics, ranked

“Elfquest is mainstream and its fans didn’t read other comics” smells suspiciously to me of a certain “Fake Geek Girl” cologne. Here’s hoping not.

I need to get back on the “Fables” train. I stopped reading floppies a year or so before I stopped buying them, and sold all of them before a cross-country move. In that transition, I failed to keep picking up “Fables” graphic novels, and now I’ve rather lost the thread, which I’m sad of. (I have read a couple of Willingham’s in-universe novels; one I rather liked and one I found disposable.)

I never read “Groo” or “Bone” but their omissions do seem weird. I’m also rather surprised Alan Moore’s “Promethea” didn’t make the cut - it went some exceptionally strange places but they were wonderful. Roman Dirge’s “Lenore” didn’t run long but it was also marvelous and weird.
