Comics Guides

This month’s journey through the best comics of 2024 was especially fun because we’re deep enough into the year that I got to perform my annual ritual of organizing and bingeing all the floppies sitting in my to-read longboxes. My office floor is literally covered with Kaya, What’s the Furthest Place From Here, Usagi Yojimbo, Ice Cream Man, Robin: the Boy Wonder, and more (some of which you’ll see below!). While I’m often critical of the pre-order system and month-to-month experience of reading direct market comics, I do LOVE powering through physical mag after physical mag once enough have accumulated to properly enjoy a full story.

For some reason this month I decided I could read as many Manga picks as possible from Briana Lawrence’s The Essential Manga Guide, read the first 35 issues of Lucifer for the Extra Issues podcast, AND keep up with all the best new graphic novels and trades in August 2024. As always, my appetite for comics consumption is always greater than the realities of time. Nonetheless I persist, and pound-for-pound, I think this is the best monthly list published this year!

I don’t know what’s more impressive: how many good comics there are every month, or my ability to curate them. You’re right, it’s probably a tie.
