The world’s on fire yet somehow comics persist. It’s really quite beautiful. I’ve kept up with as many new graphic novels and trades as possible, and have ranked my 2025 favorites in descending order below!
The list rules: I’m keeping the mid-year picks to my favorite 40 completed graphic novels and trades released in 2025. When we get to year end I”ll probably have to extend the list to 50! This means good runs that have only been released in single issues are not yet eligible until they are collected (Look for the full best of 2025 in December to see what changes!). As always, the list is also limited to works that have been written or translated into English, and somehow found their way into my hands. And yes, they’re ranked in descending order from #40 to #1 below!
My actual 2025 favorites are shared (at least) 10 at a time monthly, which of course means there are quite a few more than 50 books on the ol’ 2025 Power Rankings. You can find them all in my custom bookshop list!
