10 Best Comic Books That DON'T Have Superheroes

4. The Wicked + The Divine

One of the best comics of the last decade, Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's The Wicked + The Divine surprised readers everywhere with its bright and inventive new take on the old pantheons of myth and legend. There was a hefty dose of violence and tragedy thrown in for good measure, but even as series mainstays departed and the stakes grew ever dearer (and emotionally fraught), readers couldn't wrest WicDiv from their vision.

Those familiar with Gillen and McKelvie will know that they make a formidable duo, and WicDiv arguably sees the pair at the peak of their powers. Throw in colourist Matt Wilson, whose work on WicDiv and an array of Marvel books has cemented him as one of the best in the industry, and you're left with one of the most enjoyable and distinct books to have been released over the last ten years.

The Wicked + The Divine came to a close last year, but the fact it had a definitive ending only works to its benefit. There's a tangible conclusion, and in a medium where that sort of thing has grown increasingly elusive, that's not something to take for granted.
