- Dream Country (The Sandman, Vol. 3), Season of Mists (The Sandman, Vol. 4) – more about the King of Dreams, by Neil Gaiman
- Shortcomings – longing and confusion, by Adrian Tomine
- Queen & Country: The Definitive Edition, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3 – great action and espionage series, by Greg Rucka
- I Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets! – vintage cosmic weirdness, by Fletcher Hanks
- The Best American Comics 2007 – another great collection, this one edited by Chris Ware
- Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth – the seminal work, by Chris Ware
