7 Best New Comics That You Should Reading Update 04/2024

Best New Comics

It’s clear that comics aren’t like any other thing. This is because of how art and words work together and because of its specific audience and the serial medium used by a lot of people who write it. This allows for stories that don’t exist anywhere else, even though many of these stories are being made into movies and TV shows.

In the first year of the pandemic, comics were not what they used to be (and every other damn thing). Conventions were not held. Local shops that serve as a hub for comics communities have closed down or moved to pick-up at the curb. Many publishers stopped distributing comics in March because of the pandemic and because many people got sick. If all of that made you stop reading comic books, there were a lot of great books out in 2021 that could get you back into the habit. Even though there were a lot of problems this year, there were still a lot of great books out in 2021.

There’s no need to say this, but I’m going to say it anyway: Any list of the best things that happened this year, even if it doesn’t say so. This list is 100% correct. In addition, it wants to include a wide range of publishers, as well as a wide range of comics for both adults and kids. There will be floppies, one-shots, ongoing series, blood-soaked stories, and comics for kids. Were there any stories you were excited about? There were alien outsiders trying to find their place on a new planet, radioactive vigilantes, hard-boiled detectives and murder-for-bitcoin operations on the dark web that made us want to read them. This is a list of the best comic books and graphic novels that will be out in 2019.

1. The Good Asian

The Good Asian

Writer: Pornsak Pichetshote

During the 1930s, the Chinese Exclusion Act was still in place, so this hardboiled detective story takes place during that time. A letter written by Pichetshote is on the back of Issue #1. “It was the first time that the U.S. tried to stop people from coming here.” When the Chinese came of age in 1936, that was all they knew.

Not only does The Good Asian show how immigrants of that time were treated, but it also tells the story of Edison Hark, a man who came to the United States from China. The Asian detective has to deal with the gap between white law enforcement and the community in Chinatown as he investigates the disappearance of the lover of his wealthy, white adoptive father. He has to be careful not to cross the line.

What’s great about this series, in addition to well-developed characters, beautiful mood-setting art, and a complex story that was helped by historians on the creative team, is that it’s just a good noir. The tone, the twists, the double-crosses… they all fit in with the best film noirs from the 1940s and 1950s. It would be like this if Raymond Chandler were writing today. This is the kind of plotting you might expect from him.

2. The Many Deaths of Laila Starr

Writer: Ram V

At the very least, death is a terrifying fact of life. Yet, Ram V and Filipe Andrade’s story about how Death loses her place in the gods when death is eliminated on Earth makes it seem less like that is the case. As soon as Death was fired from her job, she took up residence in recently dead Laila Starr’s body. A baby, Darius Shah, has been born, and he will one day be able to end death in the world. On her first day back, Death goes on a mission to kill Darius. She starts her new life as a woman named Laila. But Death isn’t very good at living.

The story is willing to wait for Laila/the mind of Death to work through the issue of death, including her own. Even though the title says that she has a few chances at death. What is it like to be alive? This story takes a long time to get to anything that could be called a resolution. The place where you arrive might be familiar. He says as an adult: “No big magic, just a simple breath in.” But the real magic of The Many Deaths of Laila Starr isn’t the magic itself. It’s the journey.

It’s a dialogue-heavy five-issue run, which is unusual for a miniseries to be willing to accept its own death instead of leaving the door wide open for a new one. The majority of the story is told through narration. This does not, however, slow down the story. Death, a cigarette she has in her pocket or a temple. A crow. Loved: Laila Starr is one of many dark stories on this list, but she talks about hope and the beauty of the present. This is one of the best stories on this list.

3. Monsters

Monsters

By: Barry Windsor-Smith

Windsor- It’s been 16 years since Smith has written anything new. Smith has been working on this story for 35 years. In addition to his work on X-Men and Daredevil in the late ’60s, he worked on Conan the Barbarian in the ’70s, The Freebooters and Young Gods in the ’80s, and he did indie comics like The Freebooters and Young Gods. This book needs the same kind of stoic thought that it took to get here.

Most of the more than 300-page comic book moves backward from when Bobby Bailey joined the military in 1964 to when he died. He doesn’t have any family to speak of. In the midst of his misfortune, a secret program looks like a good idea. Is turns the young man into a test subject for genetic experimentation. As you might expect, it doesn’t work out very well for him. Windsor-Smith doesn’t want readers to guess what kind of bad luck might bring someone to this crossroads. It shows the abuse and terror Bobby has been through, as well as the blind eyes and coincidence that make up his life. A lot of people are important to Bobby even though he’s the main character. These people include a military general, a Nazi doctor, his mother, a dad who came back from World War II, and a police officer who wants to do the right thing.

Monsters is very well-drawn. It makes the reader feel like they’re in the quiet parts of the story, like notes in a journal, a descent into cannibalism, and the tension of confronting an abusive father. It’s not easy reading. Children and adults who have been abused are shown with no remorse in close-ups. This is how Windsor-Smith shows us the inner lives of the people who are at their most vulnerable.

It’s a big story even though it only covers a small part of it. It goes back and forth through layers of trauma that have happened to people and to the country as a whole. If you want to be like Mary Shelley, you don’t call any of the other monsters “monsters.”

4. Far Sector

Story: N.K. Jemisin

Art & Color: Jamal Campbell

Lettering: Deron Bennett

N.K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season and The City We Became, takes on the Green Lantern. Though, it’s not really connected to the DC Universe that you know very well, but it’s still interesting. You could not know anything about any superhero and still not be lost, even if you didn’t like them. As a young Lantern, Sojourner Mullein is sent to the City Enduring, which is at the edge of the universe. She looks a lot like Janelle Monáe, and she’s a Lantern. It’s a world with three kinds of people who almost killed each other. Everyone was made to take medicine that took away their emotions in order for the country to come back from the brink of death. Though, there’s a black market for drugs that make you feel like you’re doing something bad for a short time.

Mullein doesn’t know much about the world or the politics and history that go on beneath the surface of everything that people do. In her home world, Earth, there are a lot of things that she sees that are similar to how people are treated in this new place. In this 12-issue run, the art and character designs are very good, but there is a mysterious problem at the heart of it. Does Mullein have the power of a Lantern? Yes, but it’s limited. There are backstabbing politicians, the Lantern’s own history, love interests, and the question of what it means to feel in a world where emotions aren’t supposed to exist. It’s kind of like a detective story.

5. Hellions (Marvel Comics)

Hellions (Marvel Comics)

Zeb Wells (W), Stephen Segovia et al (A), Rain Beredo (CA)

If you had told me even five years ago that a comic scene featuring Nanny and Orphan Maker, the little egg with lipstick and the giant toddler mech who used to kidnap mutant kids at the tail end of Chris Claremont’s X-Men run, would actually bring me to tears, I would have probably slapped you. The whole idea is ridiculous.

That’s what the last scene of Zeb Wells’ Hellions did, as well.

Putting together a group of severely damaged Marvel mutants was a great way to show how trauma affects people. This book was written by Wells, Segovia, Beredo, and the rest of the art team, and they did a great job. As far as comics from the Krakoa era, this was one of the best and most interesting. In this case, Jim Dandeneau says that.

6. Made in Korea (Image Comics)

Jeremy Holt (W), George Schall (A)

Made in Korea is a strange mix of hard sci-fi, wacky family drama, and social commentary from the time of the school shootings. All of these themes work together to make the movie work. Some of the influences in this comic are Children of Men and AI, as well as many others. This comic is great because it blends so many different things together, but it still works very well.

In the last few years, the birth rate on Earth has dropped dramatically, so parents have been buying “proxies” online and raising fake children as their own. Bill and Suelynn Evans’ proxy, Jesse, has something special about her when she shows up. As her creator tries to get back in touch with her, Jesse falls in with a bad crowd. The book is cute at first, but then it turns very eerie and even a little shaky. It’s wonderful. – JD said that.

7. Ultramega (Image Comics)

Ultramega (Image Comics)

James Harren

No, I don’t like them. Do you like to watch Tokusatsu movies or TV shows? As a whole, do you think that both of these genres are better when they work together? Or maybe you think that they both need a dose of grotesque body horror to show off all of the weirdness in both of them. If that’s you, then Ultramega is going to be a lot of fun for you, the reader. Ultramega is more than just a game where you fight monsters that knock down skyscrapers. It’s scary, strange, and filled with a sense of emptiness in the wake of the carnage its characters leave behind. In this case, Mike Cecchini is the person who said this.
