Another Year of KEYS! 🔥 The Top 10 Trending Comic Books of 2024

[@Icy008]

Beaneth the trees should definitely be on the list.

[@fireguyryan9362]

It should, but it made my list last year. (For me, my window is November 2023 to November 2024)

[@charlesjohnson3287]

Thanks for giving us great videos all year! The DC Absolute titles are fantastic so far. My New Year’s resolution is to actually read all the comics I buy! Wish me luck! Happy New Year!!!

[@paulherbert3602]

I just got my copy of Absolute Batman today. I loved every page. Very well done.

[@acegoodheart9590]

Love DC All In Special

[@JSSBrooklyn]

Thanks guys great video and have a great New Year’s Eve! Enjoy! Thanks again

[@pingadol1555]

Love the passion. Keep it going.

[@goldizzy]

Grommets is bad ass and I have all 5 prints of #1!!!

[@KendallKiddComix]

Hey welcome back Ryan, Happy New year 🎊

[@pamchale]

Great year for new comics! Great review, Fire Guy Ryan and Comic Tom nice convo!

[@corbinowens2437]

0:50 Lordy that is a beautiful cover! I love her work! 😍

[@kurtheilman3809]

Bought grommets #1 cover A and the 1:10 for cover price on both. $$$ Same with issue 2. By issue 3 they started charging 10$ for the 1:10 covers at my lcs. I gladly payed it. Currently have all of the A covers and 1:10s. Great series!

[@bretthessart63]

Grommets is my fav book of the year, such a great flashback for us 80s kids, slice of life at its finest.

[@Whalewraith]

I'm loving ultimate X-men. It's the only comic I read as soon as it turns up, but... I can understand why some people don't like it, there are certain tropes you expect from an X-men title and this has none of them.

[@fireguyryan9362]

That's why I love it haha I can't stand normal X-Men stuff but Ultimate X-Men is so fresh and unique and it's a real slow burn too which I appreciate

[@comicbookcomrades9271]

ava is the best of the year imo as well.

[@VicAtNyte]

Where's the SMS LINK?? In the description? Where?

[@fireguyryan9362]

It should pop up and ask you when you go to our website comictom.com

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

They thought I was crazy, but the 3 copies I've bought of every release, variant and every printing of Absolute is my secret super-power lol

[@jamesortiz3425]

I bet U don't know what a steak taste like !?? Those books are not cheap! But than, I guess U can live on beans, with a hotdog once in awhile. I like MEAT. Which is why I can't get all those Cool comics!! 🤗😳😜

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

@@jamesortiz3425 I sheepishly admit, as an older guy, I'm trying to revive my childhood and am spending waaay too much on comics. But wth, life is short ;) PS - I had Striploin tonite, Montreal Steak Spiced :)

[@boardtom4807]

@@gorgeousgeorge5173 I did the same thing 😂 Absolute comics not the steak have 21 of the 45ish different variants

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

@@boardtom4807 Congrats, personally I been loving Absolute and don't see the New 52 comparison. Feels like I'm reliving 86 when Miller recreated the Dark Knight. But now, they're doing the entire League.

[@HarryPotterObamer]

Spawn’s been awesome this year. Been reading the main story and The Scorched. The mini series have been just as amazing too with The Violator, Misery, and Deadly Tales. Sooooo GOOD

[@mikerearic6534]

I actually got grommets #1 the week it came out but I sadly haven't got any other issues lol. Money is right and I got to get my main titles first lol

[@NathanIsRacin]

X-men 97 seriously rejuvenated the X-men fan base and comic collecting with all the comic references and stories they used.

[@GoldGauntletComix]

We all love Nick. Thank you, Nick

[@Jmillz181]

You forgot to mention the amazing art by esad ribic on the aliens avengers series.

[@fireguyryan9362]

We definitely did. It would not hit anywhere near as hard with more traditional comic artwork!

[@pizanatdotorg]

5 Words that will define 2024 - Ultimate, Absolute, Mark Spears and Grommets

[@tonykmiec5777]

Somna is a great book and the art is amazing.

[@jasonficek8221]

I was surprised to find even single 2024 release at my LCS. For cover price! AVA i literally bought last week at cover price. Absolute’s at cover price! Blood hunts in the bags same deal! I even asked the owner what gives? And he’s said he puts out what he orders and when there gone there gone! Variants as well! Gotta love the ratios at cover price! Wife’s not happy but I mention her “make up” collection and she shits up immediately! 😂

[@deckerrobert7025]

Honorable mentions...Beneath the Trees where Nobody Sees, Feral, Rook:Exodus 🏆🔥

[@IntoTheWestComics]

Totally missed Grommets. Need to go back and check it out

[@artwithmichael5547]

Been reading comics since the early 80s and currently I’m buying, Absolute, Ultimate and Energon (plus walking dead deluxe) The rest is impenetrable.

[@WmdSan]

Man. Jenny Frison is great. Spider Gwen, X-factor. Dazzler. Can you imagine if the writing and stories were just as good as the covers?

[@fireguyryan9362]

X-Factor isn't bad in my opinion lol In Mark Russell I Trust

[@thomasermmarino6788]

I love that cobra C 1:100

[@jeffbowman4793]

Every book in Tom's final 3 i agree with and i can't wait to see how many Great titles we get in 2025!! Happy New Year fellas!!

[@MichaelManint-ot7gx]

Love those Absolute titles!

[@corbinowens2437]

1:14 just got that Xfactor cover like 2 days ago!

[@cgold2083]

Why did I have to get the variant of ultimate spiderman 1 😢

[@freddieb2171]

I feel your pain but don’t feel too bad….most of the other variants are doing real good on their own as well.

[@PedroFernandez-r4k]

I have 6/10 of these books. So glad to see them on the top 10! Grommets rules! Comic books and skate culture is always a great mix. I have the second print of monsters #1, great read and art. 1st print of Ultimate Spiderman Jim Lee's variant for Absolute BATMAN DC ALL IN (loving the thickness of it, also the flip) Doom #1 and xmen 97 #1 great reads Love my lcs❤

[@comicsfan1973]

Thanks Ryan. I'll take a look at Green Arrow.

[@fireguyryan9362]

I enjoyed it! It goes back to basics and avoids the Arrow Family or whatever they're all called...it's off to a real promising start, in my opinion. Alongside Two-Face, Batman and Robin, Justice League United, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern...All In has some really cool titles right now

[@changezine]

Power Fantasy shames SOOOOO many books because it's so damn well written and approaches things from another level than basic superhero stuff. Killer book for people who want more thinking done in comics.

[@fireguyryan9362]

Yeah it took me by surprise, it's kinda why I had trouble explaining it in that number haha it's a tough book to summarize but very much worth a read, especially like you said if you're looking for something different

[@changezine]

Grommets rules ... sOOOO many of us 80's skaters/punk/metal/suburbs types found this thing!

[@philayling4398]

wow great list guys!!!

[@TheMilesLuca]

Not sure who needs this, but book Guarded Laws of Money Manifestation is the low-key treasure no one’s talking about.

[@ludotoyhunter8492]

What does that have to Do with comics?

[@GoldGauntletComix]

I feel that we are moving into a new era of collecting started by the death of Ed Piskor (RIP) how many people knew about MF Doom (except for us old Hip Hop mfers) if it wasn't for Hip Hop Family Tree. I feel it coming.... The landscape as we know it is changing . It's going to be a Superman led era

[@peterhopkins4602]

The brood are more dangerous than the xenomorphs just because of their tech and their sheer force of numbers on top of that......

[@fireguyryan9362]

I really wanna read some Brood stories

[@freddieb2171]

Solid list. I own 7 thru 1 with an exception that I have Spider-Gwen Frison trade dress.

[@thomasermmarino6788]

What about avengers vs aliens 1

[@jesuszambrano9667]

Dude I feel the same about superman books i fckn love absolute superman

[@chaudblaze6284]

You forgot batman caped crusader. 😢 I loved that show

[@randallrohr623]

YES SOMNA 🙌

[@fireguyryan9362]

So good. I'm gonna force Tom to read a DSTLRY book if it's the last thing I do!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

I hope you guys don't have a ' close encounter of the fifth kind' this year 😂❤

[@victorvincent8911]

Mark Spears RULES - these are the HOTTEST COMICS around

[@mrgumdrops5]

Fire guy ryan, you better listen to operation doomsday or mmm'food. How can you not listen to Doom!!!

[@killakromes1x]

Man i miss the lords of the longbox show

[@ICECOLDB99]

What ever happened to the bags and boards KZbin/ podcast you need to bring it back and do them more often.

[@sbradycalhoun]

Grommets is one of the best books of the year

[@new2vero2]

FINALLY!!! Fire Guy Ryan has ReeeeeTurned. Welcome back Buddy - Ryan can I do I collaborate with you for my channel…Tom show was missing ya . Keep up good work

[@fireguyryan9362]

Just filling in for Russ this week! He should be back soon

[@new2vero2]

@ aren’t you the 3rd member of the show? You’ve been with both Russ and Tom for all these years.. I hope nothing has changed..

[@corbinowens2437]

13:41 I found this one shot so boring, which made me very sad cause I had been looking forward to it. & then I couldn’t even move it for more then $3 😂

Mf doom, doomsday. Top 10 best hip hop albums of all time

[@leoneldheming2445]

I think Batman Caped Crusader doesn’t get the love for one of the best shows comic related in 2025.

[@dongleason9878]

After reading Absolute Superman #2 i've decided to drop it..... and Absolute Batman isn't far behind, it's just dumb.

[@mikeg381]

am i insane or is frisson a one trick pony? i mean, shes a good artist, but every cover is exactly the same. they are just reskins at this point, like reptile, sub zero, scorpion, etc

[@patrickmel8728]

Makes me wonder what was on the 1st vid that got deleted?!?! Had to squeeze in Omega Men 3 at the last sec?😂😂😂

[@x4486xx]

I feel like that Ryan guy actually talks like that in real life and I feel bad for all of his friends 😅😅😅

[@fireguyryan9362]

"Friends" 😂

[@OBeowulf]

Washington and Oregon are riddled with chromosomal abnormalities. It's a curse really.

[@DocReasonable]

The Absolute books have some of the worst artwork I've ever seen in comics.

[@CoinMan5000]

I like absolute Batman, Superman and avengers vs aliens. Ultimate X-men sucks balls my 7yr old could draw and write better it gives me a headache just seeing it on the shelf’s

[@sulumonlives4932]

Penguin was better . . . Also, miss me with that "comic pack" nonsense 👀

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

Comictom: We all know Ultimate X-men has nothing to do with the X-men we know. It shouldn't have X-men in the name period.

[@Nmad-ou2gj]

Penguin by 1000 miles. X-men 97 isn’t even close. And the rest of woke Disney isn’t even fuckin close

[@xellosmetallium8519]

1st

[@johnnyspartajr8954]

🤮

[@beowulf1563]

Ultimate X-Men is not good. Not a fan of peaches art style and the story is so boring. Can't believe I'm saying this but thank the comic gods DC did absolute Batman ,Superman and Wonder woman.

[@steveespi5700]

No want is buying wtf
