50 must-read Comic Books of the 2000s
By Mark Lynch
40. Teen Titans by Geoff Johns
Writer: Geoff Johns
If you want to get into Teen Titans comic books, start here. Geoff Johns brings in all of the recognizable Titans from the cartoons and some only DC Comics fans know. It’s fun, and the comic has a lot of fun action. The art by Mike McKone is a bonus. Especially when he’s drawing Beast Boy.
39. Injustice (the entire series)
Writers: Tom Taylor and Brian Buccellato,
The video game was just the beginning. There’s more to the story. For example, Wonder Woman is nothing like her counterpart. Steve Trevor being a Nazi instead of an American hero caused her to be more aggressive after coming to the new world. This is only one of the many stories in this series of comic books.
38. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin
Writers: Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and Tom Waltz
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is one of the best comic book stories. All but one of the Ninja Turtles survived the Foot’s brutal assault. Now, he’s returned to New York to avenge his brothers. The only people left to help him are an older April O’Neil and her daughter Casey.
37. The Walking Dead
Writer: Robert Kirkman
If you like the show, you love the comic books. If you didn’t like the show, you’ll still enjoy the source material. The Walking Dead comic gets into all of the smaller things that make the series great. Some of them could have made the series better.
36. Thor: God of Thunder: The God Butcher and Godbomb
Writer: Jason Aaron
This series shows why Thor is the premiere god and hero. He ventures to the future and defeats Gorr The God Butcher. Gorr is a being of immense power willing to kill deities throughout creation. Thor is joined by his younger, brash Thor and older, All-Father Thor. You’ll also see what Thor: Love and Thunder could have been.
