The comic bug bites again! I OD’d so hard on Marvel Rivals that I finally shook off my disinterest in reading all the latest and greatest comics! Doesn’t hurt that 2025 is off to a roaring start with must-read graphic novels from the likes of Kieron Gillen, James Tynion IV, Jeff Lemire, Juni Ba… oh just read the list of my favorite graphic novels of Feb 2025!

For those who were wondering, it turns out I read so many comics last year primarily because I wasn’t spending every free hour playing Marvel Rivals or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (or even reading a *gulp* prose novel, Cloud Atlas!). Video games are simply winning the “Would you rather?” battle right now, which means my “to-read” pile is growing concerningly large, and hauntingly ornery. Should to-read piles be yelling like this? I’m going to call an exorcist, but in the meantime, these are the great comics I *did* make time for this month!

I’m old enough to remember when DC first launched their streaming app and it came fully stocked with DC Comics, animation, and new live-action shows like Titans (remember that?!). My how times have changed! Since then, DC’s app game fell in line with a tried and true mirror of Marvel Unlimited‘s digital comics streaming, rebranding as DC Universe Infinite and focusing entirely on comic books. Which is just as well for me since that’s 99.9% of my media intake!
So, yes, DC Universe Infinite is loaded with close to 30,000 comics (over 32,000 if you include the Vertigo and Black Label comics included in the Ultra tier), including a majority of the best DC comics of all time. If you think you’ll be reading loads of DC Comics this year, there’s no easier, more convenient way to access and track a library than DC Universe Infinite. If you’re more on the fence, though, let’s take a look at some aspects to consider as to whether or not DC Universe Infinite is worth it. [Read more…] about Is DC Universe Infinite Worth It In 2025?
After committing harder to tracking the year’s best comics than any other year of Comic Book Herald, I’m mostly spending this month using any free time on everything but comics before I dive back in headfirst in the New Year. I’ve particularly enjoyed Marvel Rivals (what’s up Jeff the Land Shark’s big moment!) and finally cracking The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Plus, I started reading Adrian Tchaikovsky’s One Day All of This Will Be Yours on a whim, and it’s a good time. Despite my best efforts, I did also read some very good comics, and those are highlighted below, along with my 2024 comics awards!
