My Favorite Graphic Novels of August 2025

September 2, 2025 by Dave Leave a Comment

I spent a vacation completely unplugging from all things online and instead only reading the first 7 Perfect Editions of Naoki Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys. While this was the best my brain’s felt in ages, it also means my 2025 to-read pile is growing seriously threatening. We haven’t quite reached “I won’t even make eye contact with it” territory, but we’re close. And my god, the comics just keep coming. Will they never cease!

This is an interesting month for releases as it marks the first wave of DC Absolute trade editions in the market, even though the Absolute Universe #1 issue energy hit shops in October 2024. I suspect that won’t hamper these first wave releases much, as the Absolute U is both quite good and quite new reader friendly. Would have been nicer to have these ready to roll after all that Superman hype in July, but nobody asked me!

In addition to this month’s favorite reads, you can also check out Comic Book Herald’s official Mid-Year top 30 comics.

You can find the (near) full 2025 list of all my favorite comics this year on Bookshop. I’m up over 70 for the year! Don’t hesitate to let me know any of your favorites I may have missed via dave@comicbookherald.com!

Extra Issues – Juni Ba pt. 1: Djeliya & Monkey Meat

August 17, 2025 by Comic Book Herald Staff Leave a Comment

Charlotte, the royal podcaster, and the last prince of podcasting, Manzack begin our two part series on the works of Juni Ba. On this episode we cover the first two major works by Ba.

Comics covered in this episode:
– Djeliya
– Monkey Meat

Topics discussed:
– Do all the influences Ba brings together in these comics equal more than the sum of their parts?
– Is Ba successful as an “ambassador” bringing West African folklore to non-African readers?
– Why even ask these questions when the answer is obviously “yes”? (Because I have to write something and I had no good jokes today!)

We’ll wrap up our series covering the work of Juni Ba next month with:
-Robin: Boy Wonder, The Unlikely Story of Felix and Macabber, & Mobilis

After that, we’re doing a six month series covering the work of Osuma Tezuka:

1. Metropolis & Astro Boy
2. Kimba the White Lion, Princess Knight, & Dororo
3. Swallowing the Earth, Apollo’s Song, Ode to Kirihito, The Book of Human Insects & MW
4. Ayako & Buddha
5. Black Jack
6. Message To Adolf & Phoenix
