Every year I rank my Best Comics of the Year, but some incredible 2025 comics didn’t qualify — not because they aren’t great, but because they don’t have enough issues out yet.
In this video, I break down five of the best comic book series of 2025 that almost made my Best Of list, including Image, Marvel, DC, and DSTLRY titles that absolutely deserve your attention.
When it comes to year-end lists, everyone has different rules.
My personal criteria for Best Comics of 2025 requires a series to have enough issues released to judge it as a complete body of work.
That means some truly standout comics had to be excluded — and that’s what this video is about.
📚 Comics discussed in this video:
• Everything Dead & Dying (Image Comics)
• Galactic #1 (DSTLRY)
• You Won’t Feel a Thing #1 (DSTLRY)
• Marvel Zombies: Red Band
• DC K.O. (DC Comics event)
We talk about:
• Story and themes
• Creative teams
• Early critical reception
• Why these books almost made the Best Comics of 2025 list

Should a single issue qualify for a “Best Of” list?
Do impact and execution matter more than issue count?
