My Top 10 Comics for 2016

1. Monstress

Amazing artwork, world building and a fantastically dark story makes Monstress my number one title for the year. It has been a joy to read every page of this series.

2. Kill Six Billion Demons

My favourite web comic finally made it to print this year. This title creates an entire universe and diverse cast of characters yet still manages to keep the story focused on the heroine and her journey.



3. The Shadow Glass

The Shadow Glass blends gorgeous artwork with a seductive horror story set during the renaissance period. This title won’t be for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.



4. Doctor Aphra

My favourite character from Darth Vader now has her own series. It’s not an exaggeration to say this was my most anticipated title of the year, I wanted it long before it was even announced.



5. Gotham Academy: Second Semester

Maps is the hero Gotham deserves. I seem to be the only person who ships Katherine and Maps, but oh well let’s see where the story goes there.



6. Giant Days

The misadventures of three first-year uni students as they navigate life, dating, and occasionally classes. Daisy Wooton is without a doubt the best part of this series and she deserves happiness and love.



7. Satellite Falling

One of the best new sci-fi series of the year with a lesbian bounty hunter escaping her past on Earth by going somewhere there are no other humans. Unfortunately Issue #4 onward have been delayed until 2017.



8. Goldie Vance

Retro detective series with Marigold “Goldie” Vance and her girlfriend Diane solving mysteries. This is really good and has the potential to get better.



9. DC Comics Bombshells

Although I still think Bombshells has too many characters to give each of them the time and space they deserve, it has been a great series this year. Standout moments were Harley and Ivy’s kiss in the snow in issue #42, the back story to Renee and Kate’s romance in issue #45 and the arc with Vixen and her Hawkgirl.

10. Patsy Walker A.K.A Hellcat

The final pick for this list was tough as there were a lot of titles I wanted to choose from my original list of 30 comics and I changed my choice 3 times before settling. In the end I chose this title because Patsy is just so fun and enthusiastic in everything she does that I feel better for having read each issue (and also because the world needs more vamp Jubilee).
