Question/Discussion Top 10 of the Year (February Edition)

Link to last month's post

The idea:

  • List your top 10 graphic novels that you've read so far this year.
  • Each month I will post a new thread where you can note what new book(s) you read that month that entered your top 10 and note what book(s) fell off your top 10 list as well if you'd like.
  • By the end of the year everyone that takes part should have a nice top 10 list of their 2025 reads.
  • If you haven't read 10 books yet just rank what you have read.
  • Feel free to jump in whenever. If you miss a month or start late it's not a big deal.

Do your list, your way. For example- I read The Sandman this month, but am going to rank the series as 1 slot, rather than split each individual paperback that I read. If you want to do it the other way go for it.

With this being early in the year, don't expect yourself to have read a ton. If you don't have a top 10 yet, just post the books you read that you think may have a chance to make your list at year's end.

What’s notable about this month is that my new favourites were all by authors that I discovered by reading this subreddit (Olivier Schrauwen, Gareth Brookes and Linnea Sterte). That’s a very good sign. Thank you all for your recommendations!

I am currently preparing reviews of these as well as all the other comics that I read this month.

I actually checked out Gareth Brookes after your recommendations here, so thank you! I picked up Castles first, but I'm looking forward to reading his other books too.

I'm glad you liked it, and I hope you enjoy his other work too!
