In 2024, readers sought comfort in familiar tales, yet this year's standout comics from Marvel and DC pushed boundaries and delivered exceptional quality. Navigating the vast ocean of weekly releases and diverse graphic novels can be daunting, but here's a curated list of our favorite comics from 2024.
Before diving into the list, a few notes:
- This selection focuses primarily on the Big Two (Marvel and DC), with a few notable near-superhero series included.
- Only series with at least 10 issues were considered, excluding newer titles like Ultimates, Absolute Batman, X-titles from the "From the Ashes" relaunch, or Aaron's Ninja Turtles.
- All issues of a series were evaluated, not just those released in 2024, with exceptions for Jed McKay's Moon Knight and Joshua Williamson's Robin.
- Anthologies were excluded due to their diverse authorship (e.g., Action Comics, Batman: The Brave and the Bold).

Batman: Zdarsky Run

A technically impressive comic that delves into the battle against an impostor Batman. While it avoids being outright bad, it falls short of remarkable, with the exception of the intriguing neuro-arc involving the Joker.
Nightwing by Tom Taylor

This series could have been a contender for the top spot if it had concluded earlier. Unfortunately, it suffered from an excess of filler content towards the end. Despite this, Tom Taylor's work will be remembered fondly, though it didn't quite reach the heights of other iconic series.
Blade + Blade: Red Band

While the movie languished in development limbo, the comic found its stride, delivering a thrilling, blood-soaked action narrative that perfectly captures the essence of the Daywalker.
Vengeance of the Moon Knight + Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu

Moon Knight's year has been tumultuous. Revived prematurely, the series struggled to find its footing, with neither the new character nor Marc Spector's personal growth fully explored. Despite these challenges, there's hope that Jed McKay's ongoing efforts will eventually steer the series in a compelling direction.
Outsiders

A reimagining of Planetary within the DC Universe, this series offers meta-commentary that, while predictable, remains engaging. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of its original source material.
Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy's ongoing soliloquy has reached over thirty issues, a remarkable feat. The series blends psychedelic elements with social commentary, offering a unique charm despite its occasional pacing issues.
Batman and Robin by Joshua Williamson

Joshua Williamson returns with Damien Wayne to explore new challenges, including the trials of school life. While it doesn't reach the acclaim of his earlier Robin series, it's a compelling narrative about growth, father-son dynamics, and self-discovery, enhanced by the introduction of the Robinmobile.
Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver

An unexpected gem, this series offers a cozy and visually stunning experience reminiscent of Wanda's Emporium. Its charm lies in its simplicity and heartfelt storytelling.
The Flash Series by Simon Spurrier
Image: ensigame.com
A challenging read that rewards persistence with its complex narrative. The Flash's journey is unpredictable and captivating, though not for the faint-hearted.
The Immortal Thor by Al Ewing

Al Ewing's name keeps readers hooked despite the series' slow pacing and reliance on past references. The stunning artwork elevates the narrative, promising a payoff that may yet come.
Venom + Venom War
Image: ensigame.com
A chaotic yet inspiring series that demands multiple readings. Its intensity and depth make it a standout in 2024's lineup.
John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America
Image: ensigame.com
The first part set in the UK is a masterpiece, featuring memorable elements like a mermaid and a unicorn. The US section, while less compelling, still showcases Simon Spurrier's skillful characterization of Constantine. Over time, the memorable moments will outshine the less impactful parts.
Ultimate X-men by Peach Momoko

A unique blend of manga, psychological horror, and X-Men lore, consistently delivered by Peach Momoko. This series is a testament to innovative storytelling and captivating visuals.
