The Best Comics of 2018 with Bilal Shelby, Steven Attewell & Alex K Cossa

From comics for kids to adults-only graphic novels, from superheroes-- Marvel, DC, Valiant and Lion Forge-- to creator-owned Twisted Romance, from slice of life to horror, we read A LOT of comics in 2018. Here are some our favorites!  Bilal Shelby is a non-binary writer who focuses on queerness in historical and speculative fiction.   Alex K Cossa is a contributor to Graphic Policy, a lover of Valiant Comics, and a co-host of Those Two Geeks. Steven Attewell writes about the intersection of history, politics, and pop culture in The People's History of the Marvel Universe for Graphic Policy. In his day job, He teaches public policy at CUNY's Murphy Institute for Labor Studies. He is the founder of Race for the Iron Throne. (A must read for Game of Thrones fans)! We cover Batman, Fence!, loving everything by Vita Ayala, Saladin Ahmed & Gillen/McKelvie, The Rise of the Black Panther, X-Men miniseries, Giant Days, Tomas Giorello and Chris Priest are BACK, the wholesomest queerest OGN for kids and why Jay Edidin is IRL hero of the year and MUCH more. And how to pronounce the K at the end of Ninjak.
