The 2020 ComicBook.com Golden Issue Awards Nominees for Comics
Welcome to the 2020 Golden Issue Awards, an annual occasion in which the many writers at ComicBook.com gather to reflect upon the best comic books (and related media) of the prior year and vote to select the best of the best for recognition. For this section of the awards, we are focused entirely on the medium of comics in 8 categories highlighting specific publications and creative positions.
2020 was a year unlike any other for comics, but the diversity of our nominees in each category reflect the resilience and excellence epitomized by the industry in the midst of hard times. The “big two” publishers offered up a variety of series which flew far above the standards for capes comics, while many smaller publishers delivered both enthralling new concepts and reinvigorated classic ideas. It was a similar case for creators. Relative newcomers rose to stand side-by-side with living legends delivering some career-best work. Taken as a whole, it makes for a very impressive collection of talent.
