Best of 2018 - Top 10 Ongoing Comics

This year, there were four on my list that have been there for the last two years, Ms. Marvel that's been on there for all the years it's been published. These lists are my favorites, based on a reading over 500 single issues for the year (last year it was closer to 600), and access to more than that.

Last year, Image had 2 of my top 10, Marvel had 7, and Dark Horse had 1. Looking forward in the Previews, I'm not super-crazy about what's coming up, and 3 of the Marvel series on this list ended this year, so I'm not sure what next year's ongoing will look like.

Last year, All-New Wolverine hit 12 issues, and nobody else came close. This year, most of the Marvel books hit 10 issues, and Marvel Two-in-One hit 12 if you count the annual.
  1. Black Hammer Age of Doom #1-7 (Last Year: #6 on my Best Ongoing Series)
  2. X-Men Gold #19-32, Annual #1-2 (Last Year: #2 on my Best New Series)
  3. All-New Wolverine #29-35 (Last Year: #4 on my Best Ongoing Series)
  4. Ms. Marvel #26-36 (Last Year: #1 on my Best Ongoing Series)
  5. Kill or Be Killed #15-20 (Last Year: #2 on my Best Ongoing Series)
  6. Champions #16-26 (Last Year: #3 on my Best Ongoing Series)
  7. Runaways #5-16 (Last Year: #1 on my Best New Series)
  8. Marvel Two in One #2-12, Annual #1
  9. Ninja-K #3-9 (Last Year: #3 on my New Series to New to Judge)
  10. Rat Queens #7-10, Neon Static (Last Year: #4 on my Best New Series)
Also in the running: Amazing Spider-Man #794-801, Captain America #697-704, Daredevil #597-612, Doctor Strange #384-389,1-8, and Punisher #220-228, 1-4.
