I've liked what Young Animal stuff I've read. That might honestly represent everything from 2017 I've read thus far (although I have a significant backlog I'll get back to you on in like five years).

If it wasn't a reprint, I'd be seconding Demon. Saw the other day that the fourth collected volume is out - might get them from the library and try reading the whole thing in one go, to see if the escalation even works at that pace.

I was a little let down by the fourth volume... may need to read again.

One volume of Demon was enough for me
I read lots of good stuff this year, but nothing out-of-the-ordinary that was actually published in 2017.
Really want to read MFTIM and the new Ganges tho

Agreed on Batman, Kill or Be Killed, My Favorite Thing is Monsters (can't wait for the concluding volume).

2017 was the year I discovered the very droll cartoons of Liana Finck:
