The Combined Best Comics & Graphic Novels of 2024!

Since October 2024 there have been many, many websites with “Best of 2024” lists concerning comic books, manga, webcomics and graphic novels. If you’ve looked at a few, you may have noticed some of the same books on different lists and seen some unique to only that list.

I went through 268 different URLs with “Best of” Lists regarding comics and combined them into a spreadsheet. There are over 4,000 different listings of books from these websites. I should note that I’ve included books that were given honourable mentions. In short, if somebody thought it was a good book that you should check out, it’s on here.

One thing I did differently this year was I included lists from various youtube videos. I did this via Youtubes transcribe feature that is available on most videos. I am pretty sure I did not find all the videos that gave a top comics/GN list, as I can only incorporate what youtubes search algorithms show me. I found most of these videos to be very Marvel/DC heavy so you will see more of those books on the higher end of this years list. I am not sure if I’m going to include youtube videos next year, I mainly did it to fill in some time while waiting for some significant lists that I include every year.

The Top 10 books were:

  1. Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto & David Messina (Marvel Comics)
  2. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees by Patrick Horvath (IDW Publishing)
  3. Transformers by Daniel Warren Johnson, Jorge Corona & Mike Spicer (Image Comics)
  4. Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta & Frank Martin (DC Comics)
  5. Final Cut by Charles Burns (Pantheon)
  6. Absolute Wonder Woman by Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman & Jordie Bellaire (DC Comics)
  7. My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Book 2 by Emil Ferris (Fantagraphics)
  8. The Ultimates by Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Chris Allen, Phil Noto & Federico Blee (Marvel Comics)
  9. The Power Fantasy by Kieron Gillen & Caspar Wijngaard (Image Comics)
  10. Sunday by Olivier Schrauwen (Fantagraphics)

The full spreadsheet with pivot tables for books, writers, artists, publishers and more is available here.

Regarding Publishers:

Image Comics had 109 different books picked this year, followed by DC Comics (91), VIZ Meda (72), Marvel Comics (71) trying for 5th was Fantagraphics (61) and Self Published (61). Out of the Self-Published books Chrysanthemum Under The Waves by Maggie Umber was the most popular with 9 reviewers picking it.

Webcomics did not do that well this year, with the most popular being Batman: Wayne Family Adventures by CRC Payne & Starbite with 3 picks. This is the 4th year in a row that webcomic has appeared on this list. I should note that books that were also web comics like Joe Sacco’s War on Gaza (4 picks) are listed as books. The only webcomic with 2 picks was Lesbian Grief by Nes Lee (posted on X/Twitter). All other web comics got 1 pick.

Caveats:

Where a reviewer/writer wrote ‘best of’ lists for multiple websites, I’ve cross referenced their lists and removed books that were named twice. I did not think it would be fair if those writers could tip the popularity scale by naming the same book(s) over and over again on multiple websites. Sadly, there was an increase of websites publishing lists with no credit to who (or whom) created the list. In those cases I marked them as n/a but the practice of not crediting writers is a shameful one. Although for libraries I understand fully if the Librarians picking the books want to remain anonymous due to the threatening, targeted climate in the United States.

If a writer wrote for multiple sites, but one of those sites picks was a group effort, I did not remove books that are listed twice. There were also sites that did fan voting and picked the same book for various categories, I kept them in that case as well.

I generally did not include lists that were a mixed of prose books and graphic novels unless there were a significant number of graphic novels on the list, or they had a list of GNs only and put a GN on a otherwise list of prose books. I’ve come to really appreciate publishers that put : A Novel in the books title as it helps identify prose books when they have a GN looking cover.

With inkers and colourists I often, but not always included them within the Artist section. Where there were multiple (usually more than 5) involved in a book, or in the title’s run over the course of the year, various was used instead of listing them all. In some cases, I combined those involved even if they worked on the title for different issues. Where the translators were credited (without me having to really dig for it) are mentioned on column G of the data. The same goes for the editors of anthologies.

For simplicity sake, if a list named a specific comic book issue or specific volume of a graphic novel, I removed those specifics and just listed the series title, with rare exceptions. The same goes with issue #s when reviewers were picking best single issues. My apologies to the reviewers of those books.

Some reviewers included books that were published in 2023 or earlier. Normally the number of times these books were mentioned is not significant to the overall list. Often (but not always) the work was published again in a new collected edition and that is what the reviewer picked.

Most of the lists were general ‘best/favourite books’ of 2024, but I also included lists dedicated to young readers, manga, LGBTQ+, etc… What type list is noted on column B in the spreadsheet.

Some lists also had rankings and those are included in Column C. I’ve also included age groups or other identifiers in that column.

The Combined Best Comics & Graphic Novels of 2023!

Since October 2023 there have been many, many websites with “Best of 2023” lists concerning comic books, manga, webcomics and graphic novels. If you’ve looked at a few, you may have noticed some of the same books on different lists and seen some unique to only that list.

I went through 226 different URLs with “Best Of” Lists regarding comics and combined them into a spreadsheet. There are over 3,800 different listings of books from these websites. I should note that I’ve included books that were given honourable mentions. In short, if somebody thought it was a good book that you should check out, it’s on here.

This year the #1 book was Monica by Daniel Clowes, published by Fantagraphics.
Daniel Clowes and his book MonicaThe #2 book was Roaming by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki (Drawn & Quarterly). Squeaking into 3rd place was Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamad (Pantheon). There is a 3 way tie for 4th place with Blood of the Virgin by Sammy Harkham (Pantheon), A Guest in the House by Emily Carroll (First Second) and The Talk by Darrin Bell (Henry Holt and Co.). 5th place was Why Don’t You Love Me? By P. B. Rainey (Drawn & Quarterly).

Below are all the books with 5 mentions or more.

The full spreadsheet with pivot tables for books, writers, artists, publishers and more is available here.

Regarding Publishers:

The biggest surprise this year was the 110 self-published books that made the list. That’s more than double the number of self-published books that appeared last year.

There was a tie for the publisher with the most number of books being picked.
DC squeaked into first place with 93 books picked.
Image came in 2nd with 92 books.
Marvel came in 3rd with 79 books.
Fantagraphics came in 4th with 58 books.
Dark Horse came in 5th with 53 books.

The most popular webcomic picked was Darlin’ and Her Other Names by Olivia Stephens and After School Lessons for Unripe Apples by Soonkki, Maengin, Yulpi tied at 3 picks each. Returning to the list for the 3rd time is Batman: Wayne Family Adventures by CRC Payne, StarBite, Maria Li and Lan Ma with 2 picks this year. Also getting 2 picks were Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques, Eleceed by Jeho Son & ZHENA Studio, To Be An Actor by Kimhaema, Gogwang & 2:00, Nap Comix by Rachael Smith and What We Mean By Yesterday by Benjamin Marra.

Caveats:

Where a reviewer/writer wrote ‘best of’ lists for multiple websites, I’ve cross referenced their lists and removed books that were named twice. I did not think it would be fair if those writers could tip the popularity scale by naming the same book(s) over and over again on multiple websites. Sadly, there was an increase of websites publishing lists with no credit to who (or whom) created the list. In those cases I marked them as n/a but the practice of not crediting writers is a shameful one. Although for libraries I understand fully if the Librarians picking the books want to remain anonymous due to the threatening, targeted climate in the United States.

If a writer wrote for multiple sites, but one of those sites picks was a group effort, I did not remove books that are listed twice.

I generally did not include lists that were a mixed of prose books and graphic novels unless there were a significant number of graphic novels on the list, or they had a list of GNs only and put a GN on a otherwise list of prose books. I did find there were more lists like that this year, which was one of the reasons it took me this long to finish this. Many YA prose books have Graphic Novel looking covers and I need to examine previews to determine if it’s comics or not. If this continues to be the trend I may need to just focus on GN/Comics only lists.

I did not use lists where the website was not in English and the books appeared to be translated versions.

With inkers and colourists I often, but not always included them within the Artist section. Where there were multiple (usually more than 5) involved in a book, or in the title’s run over the course of the year, various was used instead of listing them all. In some cases, I combined those involved even if they worked on the title for different issues. Where the translators were credited (without me having to really dig for it) are mentioned on column G of the data. The same goes for the editors of anthologies.

For simplicity sake, if a list named a specific comic book issue or specific volume of a graphic novel, I removed those specifics and just listed the series title, with rare exceptions. The same goes with issue #s. My apologies to the reviewers of those books.

Some reviewers included books that were published in 2022 or earlier. Normally the amount of times these books were mentioned isn’t significant. Often (but not always) the work was published again in a new collected edition and that is what the reviewer picked.

Most of the lists were general ‘best/favourite books’ of 2023, but I also included lists dedicated to young readers, manga, LGBTQ+, etc… What type list is noted on column B in the spreadsheet.

A small number of lists also had rankings and those are included in Column C.
