10 Best Comic Books Of 2020

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are REALLY good at comics - something they've both made abundantly clear over the last two decades. The two have formed a formidable partnership over at Image Comics, with Fatale (a film noir-supernatural hybrid) and The Fade Out (just plain film noir) both notable highlights.

Brubaker and Phillips also had a big year in 2020, with Cruel Summer and Reckless releasing in August and December respectively. Their best work, however, has to be Pulp, a magnificent Depression-era story that's simply too good to spoil.

Pulp centres around an old man called Max Winters. He writes pulp novels for a publication all about the legendary gunmen of the Old West. Only, Max himself has a secret, and it isn't long until he finds himself reckoning not only with his own past, but the arrival of a new evil right on his doorstep.

Brubaker and Phillips are one of the medium's most revered creative teams and Pulp demonstrates why perfectly. It is a stunning work, a bridge between two eras, and frankly unmissable. A true tour-de-force of comics storytelling.
