I'll vouch for these. I also enjoyed the new Mariko + Jillian Tamaki OGN, Roaming.
Emily Carroll's A Guest In The House
Aly Fell's The Kissing Gate
Ari North's Always Human (not strictly new, but saw it's final trade release this year)
Mira Ong Chua's I Want to be Your Doll

You should check out our comic community. We desperately need some new blood who are actually interested in reading comics lol

From this year my favorite new book is Local Man. It's from Image and it tells the story of a hero from the grim dark Image comics of the 90's who does something that turns the world against him, so he's forced to retire and return to his small town in shame. Each issue has a flip side story that collects one of his comics from the 90's. Very meta, very very good
The Energon Universe books (Void Rivals & Transformers) both excellent books, VR from Kirkman and Transformers by the man who brought you Do A Powerbomb. And there's a Duke mini coming at the end of the month that looks equally excellent
Wonder Woman - Tom King and Daniel Sampere. Three issues in and it's so damn good, it's the best Wonder Woman since Perez
Birds of Prey - KELLY THOMPSON's new BOP book is so much fun. I had no idea how much I needed a Big Barda/Cassandra Cain team up
The Incredible Hulk - The last run ended in disaster because of Cates' real life issue, but Phillip Kennedy Johnson's new run, which means more into horror, is the best book Marvel has put out this year
Phantom Road - it's Resident Evil 2 meets Kentucky Route Zero. Jeff Lemire is usually solid and this book has been fun right out the gate

Yes, wow - what a run that was. Start to finish, a beautiful tight & taught street level adventure.
Yup!
This is literally the best comic of the year.
Also shout out to Rainbow Rowell's Sensational She-Hulk series.
It hasn't been collected yet, and I'm not sure how many issues are out, but I loved the first issue of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees.
It's Richard Scarry meets Dexter. The art is gorgeous, and cute and disturbing when it needs to be.
Seems cool. Has a trade been announced for the future?
I will scream from the mountains Nice House On The Lake is the comic I've been recommending to EVERYBODY. It's just amazing horror writing, and you should go in without spoilers.
is it complete? been waiting for it to finish before diving in
There was some good shit this year from Image. I liked
W0rldtr33 (or however they spell it)
Little Monsters
What's the Furthest Place From Here?
Phantom Road
Sacrificers
Forged
Time Before Time
I Hate Fairlyand
Time Before Time just wrapped up. It's really long at like 30 issues, but it's some amazing time travel scifi. Sacrificers is newish but really solid so far. Little Monsters is a fun vampire story, though I was underwhelmed how it ended. Phantom Road is great so far. Not a clue where it's going. Forged is basically Warhammer with lesbians. Been fantastic so far. WTFPFH is an ongoing and excellent. Super strange. Last week's issue was great.

Thats kind of hard to answer. The 12 issue series is done, but there are rumors that we could get a sequel
Immortal Thor is just five issues now I think but I'm loving it, has a good epic classic feel to it.
Been out of the Image game basically since Amazon destroyed the Comixology app. Looking to get back to reading. I will check these out for sure.
If you like horror definitely try Something is Killing the Children from Boom Studios. Basically, you can't go wrong with anything from James Tynion.
some good picks in here - gonna have to try sacrificers and furthers place from here sometime
little monsters & power bomb are the only ones i've not read here, but all your other picks are fantastic so onto the list they go
absolutely, cannot wait for the omnibus
oh man i reread that one like every decade...it's so surreal the way it not only was so subversive in image's early days, but even got an mtv cartoon!
sam keith is amazing and has done some dark & interesting things since, but no, i've not found much that scratches that itch, sadly
i will say i've reread it around both concrete and bone, but i don't know that there's many similarities there beyond books i read & loved at certain points in my life
i've enjoyed the comeback, but we've only seen a few issues this year, no? unless i'm just behind
this has absolutely been my take the last year or two

such a fun and enjoyable book
man we better get more, that was by no means a conclusive ending 🙁
I will also raise my hand with the Worldtr33 recommendation. In fact any thing written by James Tynion IV. Worldtr33 resembles a "slasher" horror film but with a little Mr.Robot in for good measure. I still need to read Memetic (its apparently similar).
I also loved 8 Billion Genies by Charles Soule and this might be technically last year but I also liked Its Lonely At the Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood.

Was out Christmas shopping, swung by the comic shop and ordered the Nice House on the Lake collected edition, along with Book 1 of Something is Killing the Children.
And Zdarsky's Daredevil omni

It's all 12 of 12. Whether they intend to do more, I couldn't tell you. But it's done for now.

I'll check this out, always keen to support spanish artists
Been scared to start this because of potential disappointment but I might have to jump in
