Comic of the Week Round-Up: Top 20 Comics of the Year

So a little over a year I decided to celebrate the launch of Sex Criminals that I'd start recommending a few comic books every week that I was enjoying. What started off as about three books a week has slowly expanded to a fluctuating number between three and ten, because sometimes that's many to recommend, and now I've been doing it for a year.
