The great people at YALSA (the Young Adult Library Services Association)--many of whom are friends and/or contributors to GNR--have released their annual list of Great Graphic Novels for Teens nominations. The 2011 list is a fantastic cavalcade of what makes comics great and really showcases the diversity that is more and more becoming inherent in graphic-novel publishing. This is an impressive list of awesome books, and I encourage everyone to check it out. There's not a stinker on the list.
