2025 has been an interesting year for comic-book fans thanks to titles that are still going strong, or that came out in 2025, such as The Ultimates by Deniz Camp, Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder, and Assorted Crisis Events by Ram V.
I’ve also read a good amount of comics this year, including ongoing series that started last year or ones that came out this year. Because of this, I’ve decided to list my favorite comics that came out this year.
In no particular order:
5. No Man’s Land

No Man’s Land is a four-issue miniseries set in the early 1960s, focusing on an American detective forced to solve one more mystery before retirement. The case leads him to the Iron Curtain, where he works with a mysterious Russian woman and others to solve the death of a woman in a place that doesn’t have a lot of killings.
Despite being four issues long, Szymon Kudranski crafts an intriguing, creepy murder-mystery set during the 1960s that gave me Seven (1995) vibes. It also helps that the artwork captures the comic's tone well, with scary images that will leave you in shock, especially in the last pages of issue three.

4. Absolute Martian Manhunter

Absolute Martian Manhunter by Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez is about FBI Agent John Jones dealing with the titular Martian being part of him after surviving a bombing in Middleton. From then on, John and the Martian Manhunter have to deal with John’s stressful job, his family, and an evil race of Martians known as the White Martians, who are causing people to lose control and hurt others.
Absolute Martian Manhunter is one of those comics that has the perfect blend of psychological thriller, horror, drama, action, and even comedy. Deniz Camp balances it out really well, thanks to his writing, especially during scenes where John interacts with Martian Manhunter or his wife.
Javier Rodriguez’s artwork is magnificent, and I was amazed at how he drew the action scenes, as well as the moments when, if you have physical copies of the comic, you hold it up to a light source and see what goes on in the mind of John Jones.
3. Captain America (2025)

Captain America by Chip Zdarsky, Valerio, Schiti, and Frank Martin is the latest ongoing Captain America series following the adventures of Steve Rogers/Captain America and facing off against all kinds of enemies, including Doctor Doom.
Chip Zdarsky does a fantastic job of giving us a Captain America who is dealing with a changing world, especially after 9/11, as he faces off against Doctor Doom and his Latverian forces. However, Steve Rogers has to deal with Dave Colton, another Captain America who became a soldier and later a super soldier following the events of 9/11, who also has PTSD from dealing with his time serving his country during the Iraq War.
I’m looking forward to reading more of Chip’s Captain America series, especially since it’s setting up the upcoming Armageddon event/crossover story coming out during the Summer of this year.
2. Everything Dead And Dying

Everything Dead and Dying is a miniseries by Tate Brombal, Jacob Phillips, Pip Martin, and Aditya Bidikar.
The comic focuses on a gay man living in a zombie-filled town while trying to live a normal life, even if it means feeding the undead and taking care of his zombified husband and daughter. However, things go south when a group of human survivors enters the town and confronts his way of living.
Everything Dead and Dying is one of those comics with a first issue that sucks you in and leaves you wanting more, thanks to the incredible art from Jacob Phillips and the colorists. Another highlight of this miniseries is how Tate creates a story of a man not just haunted by his past, thanks to being gay and bullied by others because of it, but trying to cling to a life that resembles normality despite the world he lives in being a mess.
The miniseries recently wrapped up, and I highly recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a different kind of zombie story. Make sure you have a box of tissues ready, because the last issue is guaranteed to make you emotional.
1. Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma

Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma by Ram V, Anand Rk, Mike Spencer, and Jeff Dekal is a miniseries about Mitch Shelley/Resurrection Man, a man who can gain a new power each time he comes back to life, having to stop an internment camp commander from World War II from taking over reality. During his adventure, Mitch confronts tragedy from his past and an uncertain future as his powers take a toll.
Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma is one of those comics that intrigued me because of the creative team, especially when a team like this takes a swing at an obscure DC or Marvel comic-book character.
I will admit it takes a little time to get used to Ram V’s way of telling the story, which switches to different moments in Mitch’s life. However, once you get used to it, you’re left with a story about Mitch dealing with leaving his loved ones behind while protecting the world from evil and an ending that will leave you speechless.
Here’s hoping DC Comics releases an omnibus or compendium reprinting the original Resurrection Man series from the 90s and the New 52 series.
I could’ve listed more, but I wanted to list the ones that are not just amazing, but left a mark on me. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this list, and I hope you check out these comics.
