What is the best ongoing comic book series being published today? According to a quick poll on iFanboy, the answer is Saga, and… Well, that’s a pretty good choice, isn’t it? What’s kind of nice about the poll results is that, of the six books listed, two of them are creator-owned (Jonathan Hickman’s The Manhattan Projects being the other). Sure, two of them are also Batman books, but, hey; Batman’s doing pretty well over at DC these days, I guess?
(I am surprised that Waid and Samnee’s Daredevil didn’t make it on there, but Hawkeye and Wolverine and the X-Men are pretty good standard bearers for the House of Ideas, let’s be honest).

DC: Animal Man (argument can be made for Wonder Woman or Swamp Thing as well)
Marvel: Hawkeye (this one is a no brainer.)
Dark Horse: Beasts of Burden (it’s like a textbook on how to make a perfect comic. Usagi Yojimbo and Hellboy also suitable answers.)
IDW: Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (Seriously, the best TF fiction since Beast Wars’ second season. If it’s not the basis of a movie or TV show soon, it’s because Hasbro is mental.)

Overall, Locke & Key in my opinion
