Under The Radar Book
5. Fantastic Four
This run of Fantastic Four has quickly become one of my favorites. It has comedy, DRAMA, and superhero action. What else do you need!?
4. Runaways
Runaways fans knew just how good this book was, I just wish that more fans pushed it so we could have had even more issues.
3. Darkhawk
Kyle Higgins nails this new origin story! I hope we get to see more from Connor in the future.
2. Power Pack
Power Pack is a truly underrated team that I was so happy to see get a chance to shine this year. The creative team truly captures the siblings’ voices, while showcasing exactly why these youngest heroes shouldn’t be underestimated.
1. Second Coming: Only Begotten Son
Second Coming’s sophomore volume continues it’s brilliant, satirical commentary on religion, while tying it to America’s own mythology – superheroes. Russell’s dialogue work is some of the best on stands!

4. Fight Girls
3. The Me You Love in the Dark

Shocking Moment
5. Jim Gordon Knows Babs is Batgirl (Joker)
A moment I’ve always wanted to happen, but didn’t expect in this book.
4. Karolina Dean Leaves Earth (Runaways)
What a cliffhanger, but made sense for the character’s overall journey.
3. Wonder Woman and Supergirl Are In A Relationship (Dark Knights of Steel)
I really liked that this is the way they introduced the characters because it wasn’t even something on my radar to look out for.
2. Nightwing Has A Sister (Nightwing)

Best New Series
5. The Joker
Making Jim the protagonist for this series was brilliant.
4. Superman Son of Kal-El
Superman: Son of Kal-El made me a FAN of Jon Kent! When Clark left earth, Jon truly had the chance to shine as the hero of tomorrow.
3. Dark Knights of Steel
2. Robin
Damian Wayne is at his best when he’s 98% brooding and 2% fun. Who knew it would take a tournament to the death for him to find his inner kid? Robin already feels like a modern classic in the making!
1. Radiant Black
Higgins embraces all the wonderful storytelling from his Power Rangers run to create his own universe. Higgins not only puts the superhero genre on its head, but his own Radiant Black mythos with a plethora of twist and turns.
