10 Best Comic Books Of 2020

9. Teen Titans: Beast Boy

Teen Titans Beast Boy
DC Comics

Gabriel Picolo's rise to comics stardom has been brilliant to see unfold over the last couple of years. A fan artist who's now mixing it in the big leagues with all the other massive artists at DC and Marvel, Picolo developed a huge following primarily from drawing characters from Teen Titans - a property that has a huge cult following thanks in part to the cartoon of the same name that aired on Cartoon Network in the early 2000s.

Picolo's drawings, which captured the Titans in casual settings in their downtime as opposed to big confrontations with supervillains, drew widespread attention and eventually led to him collaborating with Kami Garcia in Teen Titans: Raven, a book published as a part of DC's Ink imprint in 2019. The duo returned with another Titans book in 2020, this time focusing on Beast Boy.

Garcia and Picolo's approach to Raven proved to be a real winner the previous year, and the pair have worked their magic yet again with Beast Boy. Garcia captures Garfield Logan's voice perfectly, while Picolo's art is as tremendous as ever.

It's a wonderful series, and one Teen Titans fans shouldn't ignore. The next entry in the series, Beast Boy Loves Raven, releases in early 2021.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
