All Star Superman- Superhero perfection
Young Liars- The most underrated series of the decade
Casanova- Why the **** didn't you buy this?!

This decade was a great one for comics. Other favorites of mine:

Prometha, Top Ten- Moore
Umbrella Academy- Way
Iron Fist-Fraction/Brubaker
Automatic Kafka, Wildcats 3.0, Godland- Casey
The Goon- Eric Powell
Tales Designed to Thrizzle- Kupperman
Seaguy, The Filth, Seven Soldiers of Victory- Morrison
Asterios Polyp- Mazzucchelli
Acme Novelty Library- Ware
 
Prometha

Johns' Green Lantern run.

This is going to go down as one of the greatest runs in Comic history.
 
Oh I forgot Ennis' Punisher, Jason Aaron's Scalped and The Other Side, and Morrison We3.
 
All-Star Superman
Ultimates 1 & 2
 
I voted for Daredevil, which has mostly been great for the whole decade. The poll had a bunch of other good choices too.
 
Of those listed, Daredevil was my choice. That book has had more than one writer on it this decade, yet it was consistently stayed great. I like almost anything JMS puts out, but his delays have bugged me when I've followed something he's writing. Ellis' indy stuff is good, but I think Daredevil's is better. Christopher Priest's Black Panther series is my favorite of all time, but it's not in the poll for me to vote on. Captain America has been astounding, and so has Johns' run on Green Lantern as been pointed out. With that being said I still think Daredevil is superior.
 
Time magazine nominated Ultimates as the best comic of the decade, celebrations!
 
Definitely disappointed by lack of Robert Kirkman options.

Invincible is the most consistent superhero book out there.

And don't forget about Walking Dead. No other horror comic (or comic in general) comes close to conveying the realistic human relationships and seriously believable and interesting post apocalyptic situation. Plus...zombies.
 
Another tricky spanner to throw in the works is that this year has provided at least two GREAT books - Chew and Sweet Tooth - that could surely be considered late contenders for the "best of the decade" prize, with only the small number of issues meaning we don't know the full story yet holding them back.
 
Looking over the decade, one comic stands as the most groundbreaking and a real "game changer" and that is Identity Crisis. There was DC before and DC after. One can argue whether the mistakes made creatively over the past few years has ruined what was looking to be an awesome run for DC, but that miniseries put the company back on the map, gave their characters heart, while explaining away years of bad storylines. I dont think any one book impacted the industry with ripple effects like that one.
 
Here are my top 10 comics of the 2000s:

1. All Star Superman
2. The Walking Dead
3. DC: The New Frontier
4. Scalped
5. Sweet Tooth
6. Iron Man/Invincible Iron Man
7. WE3
8. Chew
9. Green Lantern
10. Loki

no love for Paul Pope's '100%' around here? I love it. it's definitely my personal favorite Graphic Novel of this decade.
 
in my opinion, Welcome Back Frank was pretty great!

Batman Hush (2000)

oh and Brian Azzarello's Joker was nice!

i may be one of the few who liked 30 days of night!
 
If I was to rank them. It would go,

1. All-Star Superman
2. Young Liars
3. Casanova
4. Automatic Kafka
5. Asterios Polyp
6. Tales Designed to Thrizzle
7. Eightball #23
8. Seaguy/Slaves of Mickey Eye
9. The Goon
