Under the Radar’s Top 25 Comic Books and Graphic Novels of 2016
2016’s Best from DC, Fantagraphics, Image, IDW, Top Shelf, Marvel, Vertigo, Young Animal, First Second, and Drawn & Quarterly
Even if it goes down as a pretty wretched year for other reasons, 2016 was a phenomenal year for comics and graphic novels. Not only were books overwhelmingly stellar, but they were also tremendously diverse. From disquietingly violent thrillers (Kill or Be Killed, The Violent, and Deadly Class), to eminently engaging historical accounts (March and Tetris), to a surprising number of impressively introspective superhero sagas (Superman: American Alien and The Legend of Wonder Woman Volume 1: Origins), 2016 had it all.
As ranked by Under the Radar‘s core comic book contributors, our Best Comic Books and Graphic Novels of 2016 highlights nearly 40 gorgeous, powerful, and supremely notable books and series from over a half dozen publishers. Every single title, whether number one, number 25, or one of the many truly fantastic honorable mentions, deserves a read.
