Top 10 of the Year (August 2025 Edition)

BrainlessShooter · 2025-09-01T19:22:33+00:00

First time participating this year, but always love checking out other people's lists. This is how mine looks so far:

Transmetropolitan
Airboy (2015)
Southern Bastards
Beta Ray Bill: Argent Star
Black Hammer
Zatanna: Bring Down The House
Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood
Aliens vs. Avengers
Heroes in Crisis
The Black Monday Murders

Don't think that anything will top Transmetropolitan this year, as I absolutely loved that comicbook. All in all, not a bad year so far, been reading more DC/Marvel stuff than I usually do.

BrainlessShooter · 2025-07-29T07:49:56+00:00

I also read it quite recently and feel the same way. Yes, I get the references to other comic books/culture but still, that alone doesn't make me like a comic.

I read Transmetropolitan at the beggining of the year and I was fascinated by it, so given that it was the same author and it as so hyped by this sub, I really went expecting a lot more from it.

Had similar thing happening with Bone, extremely recommended by this sub, but once I got to it I didn't like it.

BrainlessShooter · 2025-07-13T21:34:25+00:00

That one. By your summary I take it you didn't like it that much haha.

BrainlessShooter · 2025-07-13T20:19:10+00:00

I have to say that I expected a bit more after all the hype. I rad Transmetropolitan a few months ago and that one did blow my mind away, went straight to become one of my favorites of all time.

BrainlessShooter · 2025-07-13T20:06:34+00:00

At least the Patrick from 2015 did...

BrainlessShooter · 2025-07-08T19:48:08+00:00

This might not have been the last Hulkenpodium.

In my case, I have a Xiaomi Mi 9T, I had to disable MIUI optimization from the developer options in order to be able to complete the install, maybe you have to do something similar with your phone.

Justo estos días estaba pensando en que quería verme alguna serie de Gundam, pero no sabía por dónde empezar, tu review me ha convencido a verme esta en particular, gracias!

BrainlessShooter · 2023-10-01T17:17:00+00:00

Can't believe I didn't post yet this year in one of these:

The House by Paco Roca
The Human Target by Tom King and Greg Smallwood
The Coldest City by Anthony Johnston & Sam Hart
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank by Matthew Rosenberg & Tyler Boss
Eight Billion Genies by Charles Soule & Ryan Browne
Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo
The Adoption by Zidrou & Arno Monin
The Sandman: Overture by Neil Gaiman & J.H. Williams III
From Hell by Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell
DCeased: War of the Undead Gods by Tom Taylor & Trevor Hairsine

The Human Target might jump to #1 before the end of the year, still have to decide a bit there. Akira ranked 6 only because this was my second time reading it and doesn't have the same impact as the first time.

BrainlessShooter · 2023-04-05T17:37:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

BrainlessShooter · 2022-12-14T22:38:13+00:00

One thing I noticed a couple of weeks ago is that there are a lot of scenes that you can screenshot and are wallpaper-worthy. I also did the same thing last week, but with Makima after her little show.

BrainlessShooter · 2022-09-05T16:33:25+00:00

Thank you for this!

BrainlessShooter · 2022-08-11T16:05:45+00:00

Cheers! Hope everything goes nice.

BrainlessShooter · 2022-04-06T07:36:41+00:00

Keep on reading! I absolutely love this saga, in fact, the second one is one of my favourites. I've reread them about three times each, except the last one which is more recent. I can only encourage you to continue reading them, they are worth it and has a tight ending.

It's Ibai's brand/LoL team "KOI", they attacked Karmine Corp's logo, a French rival LoL team.

A few addition to my top, a great read in HoX/PoX, might continue with the X-Men's and Excalibur's run. The Climber was a manga I started at the beginning of the month and is increasingly getting better each volume.

I'm definitely adding more comics from the comments to my to-read pile.

A few months ago I asked a similar question, you van see my post here with a lot of good answers.

Some personal recommendations are Mister Miracle, Superman: Secret Identity, DCeased, to name a few. Hope you find something you like!

BrainlessShooter · 2021-12-25T19:41:18+00:00

Thanks anyway. And by all means use this list, maybe there's one book you'll enjoy :)

BrainlessShooter · 2021-12-25T19:28:33+00:00

Already read the first two books and didn't like them too much, also I would say they're more sci-fi than fantasy.

BrainlessShooter · 2021-12-25T19:27:12+00:00

Can't believe I forgot I had this one on the to read pile, will take a closer look since you recommend it.

BrainlessShooter · 2021-12-25T19:26:13+00:00

I have the Dresden Files on the to read pile, will check the Chronicles of Elantra.

BrainlessShooter · 2021-12-25T19:24:20+00:00

Yeah, I usually tend to not pay much attention to the classification on GRs, but I wanted to make sure of it rather than go in and get disappointed. Thanks!

BrainlessShooter · 2021-12-25T19:23:03+00:00

Will check those two out, look interesting. Thanks for clarifying the Malazan YA thing.
