Last year, I nominated ten new graphic novels in the "Best New Original English Language Manga" readers poll. With new titles from France and China, along with new stories by creators from Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, Argentina, Canada and the U.S.A. making their debut this year, it only seemed right to change the name of this category to the Best New International / Original English Manga Readers' Poll.
In addition to a veritable United Nations of graphic novel creators, there's also a wide variety of stories. There's fantasy and adventure, courtesy of 1520, Pixie, Maximum Ride and Warcraft: Death Knight. There's the urban angst of Orange, and tales of the supernatural in Nightschool and The Dark Hunters. There's social satire from Toxic Planet and superheroes with a twist, thanks to Wolverine: Prodigal Son and X-Men Misfits. But which one is your favorite?
You can vote now below, or go to the poll page to see cover art and descriptions of the stories:
