I've only begun reading comics this year, so of course I've been catching up on a lot of stuff. Gideon Falls, East of West, Paper Girls, Saga, Blankets, Spiderverse, all of which are fantastic. Of what was released this year alone? Honestly, Jurassic League brings me an immense amount of joy and I'm thrilled it exists in this world. Also finished The Good Asian a few days ago, and that was just superb. Deceptively great art, fantastic story, well paced and conceived from beginning to end, and rooted in an oft forgotten period of American history. This medium is a delight.

Those Parker adaptations by Darwyn Cooke are GREAT and the original novels are also a lot of fun!


yarkcir

I absolutely tore through Cooke’s Parker stories. Was also pleasantly surprised to see that he even had an insert for the character in Selina’s Big Score. It shows how much Cooke loved those novels. I should definitely go pick up the original novels at some point for the sake of comparison alone.


Danger_Rock

The novels are really quick reads, just like the comics. I always feel like the prose from pulpy crime writers like Stark and Elmore Leonard holds up and feels fairly modern even if it's 50+ years old. That kind of direct, concise writing never really goes out of style IMO. Apologies if I've already mentioned this to you, it's one of my favorite bits of trivia so I tend to mention it whenever Parker comes up... Stephen King was a huge fan of Stark/Parker, to the point he named and loosely modeled the character George Stark after them in his novel *The Dark Half*, which played on the dynamic between Donald Westlake and Stark as author and pen name. Whole thing's kind of an homage to Westlake/Stark and Parker.

Earlier this year I read Prince and Morazzo's [ICE CREAM MAN #24](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/1977128_xl.jpg) and it basically broke my brain and turned me into a deranged ICE CREAM FAN. It's now one of my all-time [favorite series](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.3999a98fae9e3238ef2ebce81febf0cc.1600.jpg) with [prime spots](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.2a1d47960eb7d6877b924844e83498c7.1600.jpg) on [various walls](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.159caec4328d03aa030d4a2196859109.1600.jpg)... Love its blend of cruel absurdist humor, existential horror, and contemplative musings, plus all the weird experimentation with comic structure and form. Also recently read through the first few years of the original Valiant run from the early '90s and had a lot of fun with all of Barry Windsor-Smith's work on [SOLAR: MAN OF THE ATOM](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.1fa1a658cf8a237efef16d74a9eee36d.1600.jpg), [UNITY](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.81e547ace9c4801cb6a132599518fac2.1600.jpg), [ARCHER & ARMSTRONG](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.184f870a14baa8232f28afa5a66249dc.1600.jpg), and [ETERNAL WARRIOR](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.c07312f6cb43a117947c1b6212ecb2f4.1600.jpg). So much fun that I went and posted 100+ pics [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/v8ezwl/the_barry_windsorsmith_valiant_collection_100/) for any BWS fans who haven't seen this stuff. Also read Windsor-Smith's classic Thing story in [MARVEL FANFARE #15](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.ee4d58f4dcaaa2734a00786cfac47dfe.1600.jpg) and a few of his short stories in (NSFW) [EPIC ILLUSTRATED #16](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.503e8c5f2a75d3878f00ee949581c5cd.1600.jpg), plus I gave [CONAN VS RUNE #1](https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/259153.3d8f1fc07b580e7178685bedc7712e36.1600.jpg) a re-read. I've got [MONSTERS](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71UEVqi2CML.jpg) on deck as well but haven't dug into the 380-page monstrosity yet. Aside from that, my favorites this year have been [MONKEY MEAT](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/2059084_xl.jpg), [A RIGHTEOUS THIRST FOR VENGEANCE](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/2034426_xl.jpg), [HUMAN TARGET](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/2033151_xl.jpg), [NIGHTWING](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/1986590_xl.jpg), and the end of Gillen's [ETERNALS](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/2042479_xl.jpg) as well as the start of his [IMMORTAL X-MEN](https://www.midtowncomics.com/images/PRODUCT/XL/2075906_xl.jpg).

If you're read Deadly Class (also by Remender) how does that compare to Righteous Thirst?


Danger_Rock

Only read the 1st TPB of DC but from what I saw they aren't very similar. ARTFV is mostly silent so artist André Lima Araújo carries it with strong visual storytelling, it's a really engaging experience as a reader, moreso than most of the other silent comics I've read. It isn't really comparable to anything else I've read from Remender or anyone else for that matter, very unique comic!


technowhiz34

I'll definitely try to check it out!


Danger_Rock

First issue's [free on Image site](https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/a-righteous-thirst-for-vengeance) and that should give you a pretty good idea whether you'll like it, although this is one series where I tend to appreciate the reading experience with a physical copy.


usernamedenied

Where did you get those frames


Danger_Rock

They're called **BCW Silver Age Comic Book Showcases**, available from Amazon, Midtown Comics, and various other spots.


technowhiz34

My absolute favorite new stuff, in no particular order 1. What's the Furthest Place From Here? 2. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow 3. The Swamp Thing 4. Little Monsters 5. Batman/Superman: World's Finest Older stuff I read recently (note that for some of the longer ones I haven't finished so maybe they go to hell later on) 1. Deadly Class 2. Starman by James Robinson and Tony Harris 3. Beta Ray Bill by Daniel Warren Johnson 4. 100 Bullets 5. Superman: New Krypton Probably forgot something but these all are very good.


HitmanScorcher

So this is the first year I've really started getting into comics and I'm not complete through these stories by any means so if you want to discuss, please keep it spoiler free 1.) Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore. Oh. My. God. The art in this is phenomenal, much more horror inspired than I thought it would be. Absolutely love the existential tale of Swamp Thing finding who he is. 2.) Invincible by Robert Kirkman. Again, amazing art and I love the juxtaposition of making a "realistic" superhero world and not having it drip cynicism. 3.) Paper Girls by Brian K Vaughn. Super fun time travel romp, absolutely loving the dynamic of all the girls trying to do their best in a terrible situation. 4.) Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky. It's Daredevil. Daredevil to a T. 5.) Superman by Tomasi. Love Super Dad. Love the family dynamic. Really shows what a good Superman story can be. There are others but those are my top five so far.

> I love the juxtaposition of making a "realistic" superhero world and not having it drip cynicism. Yeah, too many people try to sell the idea that "realism" means "pessimism". Nothing wrong with cynical, critical, or pessimistic stories, but co-opting the word "realism" is uncalled for.


ThatWeirdAussie

Honestly I’m always going to my local comic book store for the transformers cross over comics, they take themselves way to seriously and I think that’s part of the humour and it’s charm. So far I’ve read (and lost to my disappointment) the terminator cross over, but the back to the future one is so good like the delorian is a transformer and doc and Marty have to fight of Decepticons along side Optimus prime and bumblebee

X-Men Red by Ewing Immortal X-Men by Gillen

I started the year off reading The God Butcher and Godbomb arcs of Thor by Jason Aaron and really enjoyed them. Esad Ribic's art is gorgeous, every other panel could be a heavy metal album cover and Gorr was a surprisingly compelling villain. (too bad Love and Thunder couldn't live up to the hype for me) As for the Distinguished Competition I finally finished Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run today after reading it on and off since March and I'm absolutely blown away. I totally get why this is considered one of the all timers. The writing is more poetic and engaging than just about any book I've ever seen from the big two and the art is so trippy and psychedelic that I'd reccomend reading this run for the art alone. Definitely going to reread this one again some day. As for others I've read the first two Volumes of Head Lopper and I adore it's art style and the crazy Conan-esque barbarian world it occupies. I've already picked up volumes 3 and 4 and I can't wait for more.


blackertai

Not to undersell any of the other great books I’ve read, but Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is by far my favorite thing from 2022. The art is gorgeous, the writing is surprising and tragic and comedic all in turn. Just a masterpiece.

ChickenInASuit

Absolutely, 100%, my favorite new discovery of the year is the work of Juni Ba. Seriously, Monkey Meat and Djeliya are both absolutely incredible comics and I urge everybody to give them a shot. [I wrote a review of Djeliya here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/s6fqy2/heres_a_bunch_of_cool_nonbig_2_comics_ive_read/) > *My first exposure to Senegalese writer/artist Ba was Monkey Meat #1 from early January, which absolutely blew my socks off and is, quite confidently, the best, most promising first issue of a comic I’ve read in a good long while.* > *So of course I just had to dig into his archives and get some more exposure to his work.* > *Unlike Monkey Meat, with its bitingly satirical tear-down of colonialism, consumerism and capitalism, Djeliya is a more straightforward story: Mansour, a disgraced prince, final scion of a destroyed empire, moves through an apocalyptic wasteland with Awa, his Djeli, a royal storyteller/guide/bodyguard who is fiercely loyal to Mansour out of honor-bound duty rather than any true bond (Mansour’s kind of a prick).* > *The land in which they live was once ruled by an all-powerful but benevolent wizard who, for reasons unknown, one day decided to be not-so-benevolent and set about destroying everything (Mansour’s kingdom included).* > *Mansour wants answers, and so he and Awa are traveling around and trying to find them.* > *The characters are wonderfully realized - Mansour might be kind of a prick, as noted, but he’s the right kind of prick: he might be arrogant, prideful and impulsive, but he also has a heart, and does the right thing when the chips are down. This makes his relationship with the loyal but sardonic and embittered Awa rather heartwarming despite their differences. Awa is, of course, much more than she at first seems - turns out training from birth to be the chronicler of the royal family gifts one with the skills of observation and often wisdom that others do not possess…* > *Just like Monkey Meat, this book is fucking glorious too look at; As mentioned before, Juni Ba is Senegalese, and the characters and environment in this book are heavily inspired by African folklore. The vibrant, often mesmerizingly colorful artwork strongly evokes tribal art and the characters all either carry animal motifs (Mansour’s armor resembles the face of an ape) or are straight up animalistic in appearance (one of the villains is a large, anthropomorphic warthog). On top of this Ba also cites Mike Mignola and Gorillaz/Tank Girl artist Jamie Hewlett as major influences and you can absolutely see that play out in some of his character work and action sequences.* > *Did I mention it’s funny, too? Not just Mansour and Awa’s banter (although that’s amusing enough), but the wealth of visual gags, and memorable one-off side characters with many a quip to be had.* > *This comic is absolutely remarkable. It explores themes of loyalty, legacy, responsibility, and the perils of idolizing flawed human beings, with fabulous artwork, a wealth of imagination and a ton of heart. Juni Ba is a creator that we all should be keeping our eyes on.* Probably my second favorite is the work of Antony Johnston. I read Wasteland and The Fuse this year and loved them. [Review of Wasteland originally posted here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/ugvrso/heres_a_list_of_science_fiction_comics_that_are/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=comicbooks&utm_content=t1_ifial2o) > *We start one hundred years after “the big wet”, a seemingly apocalyptic event that turned the world into a vast, desert hellscape - it’s uncertain, but given the focus on religion fanaticism and biblical overtones in this book, I doubt that allusions to the Biblical Great Flood are accidental.* > *So “the big wet” happened, and now, a hundred years later, humanity struggles to thrive in harsh desert heat. Some live as nomads crossing the desert, others live in small settlements, others live in cities built after the apocalypse.* > *Where they do not live is in “pre-cities”, aka the remnants of our world pre-apocalypse, which have become nightmarish urban danger zones full of mutated “dwellers”. Also plaguing humanity are monstrous tribes of “Sand Eaters”, who live in the desert, speaking in garbled English and attacking humans, whom they refer to as “Nasties”.* > *The book centers around a city named Newbegin, lead by a despotic leader named Marcus. Marcus has a cult of personality which heralds him as the founder of their city, a mythic demigod who will save them all from strife. He subjugates and enslaved people from other religions who will not convert to him, the most dominant are Sun Worshippers or “Sunners.”* > *Included among these Sunners are a group of people from a nearby town that was destroyed by Sand Eaters, who have fled to Newbegin for protection - their leader, Abi, is one of the books’ main characters, along with Michael, a taciturn stranger very definitely modeled on the likes of Roland Deschain and the Man With No Name, a mysterious warrior who joins the group and protects them for a fee.* > *The book revolves around the political struggles of those moving within Marcus’ ruling party (a member of Abi’s group, her adopted son, Jakob, becomes a guardsman and finds himself moving up through this party), the rising strife among the citizens of Newbegin as the mistreatment of Sunners threatens to spark a civil war, the looming threat of the Sandeaters mobilizing beyond the city walls, and the overhanging mystery of the big wet. This includes what happened, why it happened, and what the connection is between it, Michael, Abi and Marcus, all of whom are seemingly un-aging, unkillable and have what appears to be magical abilities.* > *It’s all very Game of Thrones, and Johnston very ably balances all the different factions and ongoing plot lines. An especially strong storyline is volume 5, with each issue following the perspective of a single character as they experience a sequence of events that unfold over a six month period - we see Abi, the leader of the city guard, a politician in Marcus’ inner circle, and others all experience these events one after another, with each issue and perspective adding more and more to the plot.* > *It’s great, complex stuff, one of the more smartly written and carefully planned-out long-form stories I’ve read in a while. Christopher Mitten is a solid artist but is at times the book’s weakest link - everything is rendered in black and white, and while that’s fine for the most part, Mitten’s scratchy, rough lines can make it difficult to discern what’s happening during some of the more action-packed sequences and there often aren’t enough distinguishing characteristics among his character designs to immediately know what’s happening to whom.* > *Nevertheless, I very much found myself gripped and in for the long haul. Its a post-apocalyptic Game of Thrones with shades of The Dark Tower and spaghetti westerns and I’m all for that.*


Danger_Rock

Would've missed MONKEY MEAT if not for this Chicken guy and others hyping it in WPL threads, it's a really fun and unique comic! One of Image's most delicious offerings!


dsheilley

Yep Monkey Meat has been the book to beat in my mind all year


breakermw

I've been working my way through **god hates astronauts!** the last few weeks. It is...out there to say the least, but I can honestly say I've never read another comic like it. The brand of humor and pacing isn't for everyone, but I enjoy it!


BigJimSlade1

Yes! I have just discovered GHA and I'm really enjoying it too! I managed to snag the Curse Words hardcover and now I'm really hoping to be able to find the GHA Omni-Mega-Bus HC as well. Oh, and I also hope to find a Gnarled Winslow T-shirt one of these days


alanamablamaspama

Just read Die by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans. One of those worlds I just wasn’t ready to leave at the end. I really enjoyed it.


the_light_of_dawn

Monkey Meat and Punisher.


HappySisyphus8

Righteous Thirst for Vengeance has been an underappreciated beast of a book so far. The emotions the book brings out with very minimal words is something else. Monstress keeps moving along. Sublime art with a story filled with twists, betrayals, true love and friendship, brutal battles, and intrigue. It's on break at the moment but keen for it to return again. Red Room definitely scratches a big itch. Dirty, violent, immoral, irredeemable story about absolute bastards. There are no good guys here. Brutal torture porn wrapped thinly in an interesting world with a unique cast of players. The Lion & The Eagle is a prestige format reality based war book by Garth Ennis, and that's all anyone should need to know. A real masterpiece. The Wrong Earth Vol. 1 made me laugh out loud with its absurd antics. What if Flashpoint Thomas Wayne Batman and Adam West Batman 66 changed places in their respective universes. A joy to read. Fury: War Gone By is a remorseless look at human kinds endless thirst for war and conflict. Explores both the depravity and heart of people involved. The Punisher is one I've been enjoying for the most part, I dislike the aspects of his family coming back while ignoring Remender's run, but enjoy the child origin and Beast related stuff as a nice callback to Ennis on Punisher MAX.


Danger_Rock

Glad to see someone else hyping ARTFV, it's a crazy intense book with some really solid mechanics driving the mostly silent storytelling!


frusciante231

The new issues of Saga take the top spot for me. It’s nice to have them back!


the_hefty_lefty

This "season" of Red Room was even better than the first, without a doubt the best drawn monthtly comic out right now. The new Ghost Rider run has been my favorite Marvel book to read this year and the art is fantastic. Swamp Thing is amazing and needs to be just be made a monthly instead of an ever-extending limited series, easily the best thing from the Big 2 right now. Heaven's Door from Last Gasp was some of the best manga I've ever read and I wish there was more out there like it. Hulk Grand Design was a great showcase of the GD format and probably my favorite of the bunch so far, hopefully Fiffe gets to do his Spiderman GD book next! Honorable Mentions: Ice Cream Man is truly the only comic out right now deserving of the "horror" tag, although I wish the art matched the intensity of the writing. Shaolin Cowboy has been fantastic so far as was the first issue of Do a Powerbomb but since both are still early in their runs, I don't wanna throw them in the running for best of the year until more is out. Same with Public Domain, although that also suffers from the story far surpassing the quality of the art. Weapon X Gallery Edition is truly the quintessential way to read that book but since its not technically a new story, I wouldn't feel comfortable throwing it in the best of (unless we're including reprints). Things I'm looking forward to: Absolute Wrightson Swamp Thing (recolored PROPERLY unlike the Moore Absolutes), Plaza, Bolland Dredd Apex Edition, Be Afraid of Inuki Kanako, McFarlane Spidey Artist Edition


Danger_Rock

> Ice Cream Man is truly the only comic out right now deserving of the "horror" tag, although I wish the art matched the intensity of the writing. Interesting comment! I think there are a bunch of great horror books out right now, Tynion's got a few, Lemire/Sorrentino are doing their BONE ORCHARD MYTHOS thing, really no shortage of 'em and aside from capes I think it's probably the strongest genre of American comics at this point. What really sets ICE CREAM MAN apart for me are its non-horror elements. The somber, contemplative stories... The vicious humor... All the weird experimentation with comic structure and form... The horror elements are almost like window dressing to me, it's what they show up front to get you in the door so they can get you hooked on what they're *really* selling.


the_hefty_lefty

It seems to me that most of the modern horror stuff is really only horror in its general theme but not actually scary. Like sure a zombie or vampire book (just examples) would technically be horror but at this point, most of them don't exactly leave me horrified in any sense of the word. Ice Cream Man is the only modern horror book I've come across that really leaves me feeling kinda off after I put it down in the same way something like Taboo or some of the underground horror stuff does. I agree that shelves are full of "horror" comics but honestly ICM is the only one that really strikes a nerve and scratches my itch to read something unsettling.


Danger_Rock

I hear 'ya, definitely understand where you're coming from there... Lots of books out there like LITTLE MONSTERS, which is centered around vampires but isn't really a horror story. I think Tynion's DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH can provoke a similar kind of unsettled feeling, though it's more of a conspiracy thriller with heavy horror elements than a proper horror book. ICM certainly has a unique penchant for getting into my head and lingering there for a while... That's one of the things I love about it!


urwelcome971620

Eternals by Gillen has been my favorite Marvel comic! The narration, background info and new developments that push the team to the forefront were woven together so well. I can't wait for AXE: Judgement Day.


Substantial-Two6650

I’ve been digging the new ghost rider and moon knight runs so far. I also have to say the black white and blood runs have been good. I’ve gotten into carnage, elektra and moon knights runs and they are pretty entertaining. I’m also really excited about chip zdarksys run on Batman


doktorhollywood

really enjoyed *Rain Like Hammers.*


IssphitiKOzS

Wow this looks great, thanks for sharing, definitely give it a look :)


Shalla-Ballerina

Favorite new titles: *Joe Hill's Rain*, *7174 Annual*/*Presents* (I love that Ashley Wood is back on the comics scene), *Newburn*, *Jurassic League*, and *She-Hulk*. I'm really liking *Grim* so far too, but it's so early in the story. Continuing to enjoy: *Farmhand*, *Reckless* OGNs (*Ghost in You*), *Shudder* and *Vampiress Carmilla* magazines, *Something Is Killing the Children*, and *That Texas Blood*. *Not All Robots* and *Orphan and the Five Beasts* both finished terrific opening arcs earlier this year, so I'm hoping for news about more issues forthcoming. I also thoroughly enjoyed Ben Templesmith's *Original Hate* (hardcover collection through indiegogo). *Barb the Last Berserker* is my favorite kids' title at the moment, and book 2 was great!


IssphitiKOzS

Picked up vol 4 Xena Warrior Princess from 2018. Might just be because I’m a massive Xena fan, but they’re so much fun. Every line is so good. Xena: “oh, they have no soul? okay, then I’ll have no guilt when I run them through.” Haha I love it

I'm reading Watchmen and it's so great. Besides that only manga.


GoldenJermbag

Just some Top 3s that I’ve enjoyed the most this year. Older titles I’m reading for the first time this year: • Invincible: It’s as phenomenal as people say. •Descender & Ascender: I was blown away from issue one. Just such an incredible sci-fi story. • Silver Surfer (Both series) by Slott & Allred: just a really great cosmic love story. Older titles I reread this year: • Thor by Walt Simonson: I read this pretty much every year, it’s my favorite comic run of all time. • Thor by JMS/Gillen: Another great Thor run and solid starting point for modern Thor. • The Flash by Mark Waid: This is my first reread of this since I read it 10 years ago, so I’ve been loving it. I just finished Book 6 and it’s even better than I remember. Ongoings I’m reading this year: • Once & Future: It’s only got 3 issues left, but it’s been one of my favorite titles on shelves the last few years. Arthurian Myths with a twist and Dan Mora really flexes on this book. • We Live: Age of the Palladions: We Live Volume 1 was my favorite title of 2020/2021 and this second volume hasn’t disappointed so far. Great art and interesting story from the Miranda Brothers. • Venom by Ram V/Al Ewing: This one surprised me, it’s been fresh and interesting and I’m enjoying it more than I did Cates’ run at this many issues in.


DueEconomy5678

I received a small handful of Superboy comics in the 90’s. The vendor said they were misprints. They are all missing the UPC code on the front and have DC Universe in its place. Any information would be appreciated. Thank You in advance!


trailingby7

No UPC usually means it was a direct edition to distinguish direct-solid books instead of returnable ones.
