PW's Best Comics of 2005
Earlier in the month Publishers Weekly published a list of the best comics of 2005. The list isn't numbered, there's no particular order stating that this is better than that, but it does contain the 21 top picks from 2005 as compiled by Calvin Reid, Heidi MacDonald and Douglas Wolk.

Here's a list of the titles, accompanied by a link to the article. The full article includes cover images, and short summaries of each comic with the publisher/creator information include.

Quick note, I fixed the Yotsuba&! creator credit.
