"It should go without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway: Any best-of-the-year list, whether it openly addresses the issue or not, is subjective. This list is absolutely that. It aims to include a variety of publishers, as well as a mix of floppies, graphic novels, one-shots, ongoing series, blood-soaked stories, and comics for younger readers. No matter your preference, there were stories worth getting excited about from alien outsiders trying to find their place on a new planet to radioactive vigilantes, hardboiled detectives to murder-for-bitcoin operations on the dark web. Here are the best comic books and graphic novels of 2021."
