"The 15 comics found below fall into numerous genres and attract just as many audiences. You'll find superhero fare, hardboiled pulp, humanist propelled science fiction, twisty horror tales, a true-crime profile, and a shocking amount of young adult adventure. Some operate in traditional style, while others push the form to its limits and expose new ways to deliver sequential storytelling.
You should also know that while this list contains a few titles you'll find in other best-of articles, it also holds several you probably missed during the year. Curating an end-of-the-year list is a personal endeavor, and above all things, this Best Comics of 2021 ranking represents my weirdo sensibilities. I hope it will also operate as a discovery mechanism, sending you dear reader to your local comic book shop or bookstore, hunting for new worlds and characters to inhabit."
