Comic Attack! writer Drew McCabe lists his fifteen favorite kids’ comics from 2011. It’s a pleasingly diverse list, with westerns, comedies, superheroes, and sci-fi adventures all making the cut.

About.com’s Deb Aoki compiles her list of 2011’s best manga. Among her top picks are such teen-friendly titles as Blue Exorcist, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, and Princess Knight. Curious about what manga might make Deb’s 2012 list? Then check out her preview of next year’s most hotly anticipated titles.
