Since his creation a scant eight years ago, Miles Morales has quickly become one of the most interesting new Marvel characters. His ascension from Ultimate Universe legacy Spider-Man to PS4 Spider-Man supporting role to star of the feature film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is amazing (spectacular, even friendly neighborhood).

The Best New Image Comics of 2018
There’s a prevailing sense this year that Image Comics has stalled, and it’s not hard to see why. Breakout mega hits like Saga and Walking Dead are either on hiatus or well past the thrill of feeling new.

Best DC Comics Of 2018
DC Comics has maintained their status as comic book retailer and critic’s favorite son throughout 2018. Now approximately two years since the launch of DC Universe: Rebirth #1, the publisher has been hitting a *majority* of the right notes (though far from all given the damn countless number of comics credits that still bear the dark mark of Eddie Berganza). Likewise, the publisher’s major 2018 event, DC Metal, was one of the best superhero crossovers of the decade, setting the stage for a compelling Justice League lineup through the end of the year.
