Dave Buesing's Comic Book Herald Writing!

It’s the final month before best of the year lists are finalized! Whereas other lowly comics critics suddenly have to organize their favorites, I’ve been been preparing all year! Take that you fools!

This month’s selections include a few fine graphic novels that will make their way onto the big list, as well as a few great reads that arguably didn’t even come out this year (I have my reasons!). If I play my cards right, this will mark the monthly finale of my favorites this year, as I plan to spend all of December 2025 finishing 20th Century Boys, starting Vagabond, and banging my head against the wall while playing Silksong.

In addition to this month’s favorite reads, you can also check out Comic Book Herald’s official best comics of 2025.

You can find the (near) full 2025 list of all my favorite comics this year on Bookshop. The annual list is right around 100 for the year! Don’t hesitate to let me know any of your favorites I may have missed via dave@comicbookherald.com!
