Every Sunday morning, I get up early at the crack of noon, make myself a mug of tea, and then I start working on my favourite weekly post: The best comic book covers of the week that is still to come. I don’t know about you guys, but scrolling through the previews and being bombarded with dozens upon dozens of comic book covers from all manner of talented hands? That’s cathartic, meditative, and healthy for the eyeballs.
Looking back at a turbulent year in comic books, finding the best cover was no easy feat. Across 46 posts in 2020, I’d gathered up 1460 amazing comic book covers. It’s safe to say that there was no single winner, as art is subjective and I’d probably have someone yelling at me about how utterly wrong I was. Choosing a hundred of the best though? Still challenging, but with enough room to celebrate just how fantastic comic books were in grabbing your attention with instant advertising.
Either that, or I’d be told that I was wrong a hundred times over. So here they are, the cream of the 2020 crop, the best comic book covers of the year, attached to some of the best comic books of the year!
