Best Comics Not About Superheroes
/Netflix’s popular “Sweet Tooth” series revealed the kinds of worlds available to those willing to look beyond superheroes and see what else comic books have to offer. There’s more to be found than good-guy-versus-bad-guy slugfests, even inside the seemingly narrow field of post-apocalyptic settings and stories. Take a look at the list below and discover all-new ways that the world could end, on the big scale as well as the small, without even one superhero showing up to save the day.

Maybe it’s the can-do spirit of Gus that appealed to you throughout that first “Sweet Tooth” season. If that’s the case, then Boom! Studios’ “Lumberjanes”— a series that almost defines the term “plucky” in how gung-ho it is about the value of both friendship and bravery in the face of adversity — is a must-read. Created by the team of Shannon Watters, Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, and Brooke Allen, “Lumberjanes“ is the story of five teenagers at a summer camp for “Hardcore Lady Types” where weird things happen regularly… not that anything can really challenge the bond of friendship between the five. Funny, uplifting, and (of course) bad ass.
