In 2024, readers found comfort in familiar narratives, yet many of these stories excelled and pushed boundaries. Navigating the vast array of weekly comics from traditional publishers and the diverse graphic novels available across various book divisions is a daunting task. Here's a curated list of standout comics from 2024 that we cherished.
Before diving into the list, a few notes:

The Batman: Zdarsky Run teeters on the edge of mediocrity. While technically impressive, it was largely unremarkable, save for the intriguing neuro-arc involving the Joker. The battle against the wrong Batman felt lackluster, yet the comic managed to stay just above the threshold of being considered subpar.

Nightwing by Tom Taylor would have been a contender for the top spot had it concluded twenty issues earlier. Unfortunately, it succumbed to an overload of filler content. Despite this, the series had its moments of brilliance that will be fondly remembered. It had the potential to be the next Hawkeye but settled into typical DC ongoing series territory.

While the movie lingered in production hell, the Blade comic thrived, filling the niche for Daywalker fans with a fast-paced, blood-soaked action narrative.

Moon Knight's journey in 2024 was tumultuous. Revived too soon, it left many plot threads unresolved, from the successor's development to the quick resolution of tragic events around Mark. While Ms. Marvel's death and resurrection were less disappointing, hope remains that Jed McKay can steer the series in the right direction.

Outsiders, a reinterpretation of Planetary woven into the DC Universe, peppers its narrative with meta-commentary. However, its delivery becomes predictable, though it remains a respectful nod to the original.

Poison Ivy's ongoing soliloquy has reached over thirty issues, a testament to its enduring appeal. The series blends psychedelic and social elements, sometimes surprising, other times urging readers to skim, yet always maintaining its unique charm.

Joshua Williamson returns with Damien Wayne, introducing a new adversary—school. While it hasn't reached the heights of the initial Robin series, it remains a compelling narrative about growth, father-son dynamics, and self-discovery, complete with the delightful addition of the Robinmobile.

A dark horse in the rankings, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver offers a cozy and visually stunning reading experience. Its charm lies in its simplicity and warmth, reminiscent of Wanda's Emporium, making it a standout without needing to push experimental boundaries.

The Flash by Simon Spurrier is a deliberately complex read, challenging readers to engage deeply. While its winding narrative path is unpredictable, those who persevere are rewarded with a unique and intriguing journey.

The Immortal Thor by Al Ewing might feel monotonous as both a modern god saga and a superhero comic, with its references to older comics feeling stale. Yet, the allure of Al Ewing's overarching concepts keeps readers invested, hoping for a climactic resolution. The artwork, however, remains breathtakingly divine.

Venom + Venom War is a whirlwind of chaos and inspiration. Its compelling narrative has prompted multiple re-reads, drawing readers deep into its abyss.

The UK segment of John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America is a masterpiece, featuring memorable elements like a mermaid and a unicorn. In contrast, the US segment delves into overwrought themes of freedom and ideas, though Spurrier's portrayal of Constantine remains brilliant. Over time, the filler content will fade, leaving only the series' memorable moments to be cherished.

Ultimate X-men by Peach Momoko combines manga storytelling with psychological horror, featuring girls with superpowers and the iconic X-Men. This monthly release is a dream come true, blending all its elements into a remarkable and cohesive creation.
