Mech Cadet Yu by Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa is easily the most fun, charming, and upbeat new series of 2017. Since I only got around to reviewing two issues of it, Mech Cadet Yu #4 has come to represent the energy and glee this book gave me. This is one of those books that sticks with you, eve...
As I was initially reading Heartbreak Quadrant by Barrett Stanley, I knew that this was going to be one of my favorite comics of the year. It’s such a perfect mixture humor, emotion, and high sci-fi. It establishes its universe in such a succinct manner without ever overloading the reader w...
Alien Toilet Monsters #1 by Carol Zara and Eric Barnett is one of the most bizarre and charming comics you could read this year. Alien Toilet Monsters #1 cover by Eric Barnett Set in a future where interdimensional travel is possible and obsessive fandom is still around, we are introduced to the...
Aftershock has found a direct line to my heart, and this is thanks to books like Jimmy’s Bastards, the aforementioned Animosity, and, here, Unholy Grail #5 by Cullen Bunn and Mirko Colak. Unholy Grail tells an alternate version of the Arthurian Legends, where Merlin is a demon, the Lady of ...
Cards on the table, I still haven’t gotten around to watching the movie this comic is based upon. Sue me. This is one of those comics that was just plain fun and stuck with me long after other comics faded from my mind. Captain Kronos #1 by Dan Abnett and Tom Mandrake is swashbuckling, vamp...
A fantasy superhero epic set in ancient Kush starring a group of princes and princesses with incredible powers Kids 2 Kings is definitely one of the independent comics to keep an eye on. Kids 2 Kings #2 by Manuel Godoy and David Lenormand, is the stronger of the two issues I was able to get my ha...
So, VICE said they couldn’t find 10 comics to put on their list for 2017. I get that 2017 has been a bit of a crap PR year for comics, especially the Big Two, but that is extremely reductive and disingenuous. There are plenty of talented creators who have done some phenomenal work this...

I came around to the Tom King Batman train a lot later than most for reasons now well documented on Bleeding Cool, and Batman Annual #2 by King, Lee Weeks, and Michael Lark is a big part of the reason I ever came around to it all. Also, side note, yes I know the “Batman-Hater Holiday Specia...
It’s no secret that Green Lanterns is probably my favorite DC title being put out at the moment. However, there is this weird thing where no one issue is so good as to go up higher on this list (there are other series I adore that missed these lists for the same reason). Green La...

So, this was the first 10/10 I gave to a single issue of a comic on this site (The Magneto Testament was the actual first). That’s because Captain Phasma #1 by Kelly Thompson and Marco Checchetto blew me away from page one. Captain Phasma #1 cover by Paul Renaud A character that was given ...
