2. The Fix

The funniest comic book on the stands.

I fell in love with Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber’s work when I read Superior Foes of Spider-Man, aka my favorite Marvel book of the twenty-first century. Their follow-up, The Fix, is a series about LA cops who are also criminals, and all the shenanigans that befall them.

It’s a perfect comic book for me personally, and not just because the mini-golf course I frequented as a child makes a cameo. Lieber’s skill at visual comedy is downright impossibly impressive. He’s a friggin’ genius. And Spencer’s eye for character is top notch. Josh, the murderous hipster crime boss, is the most unique villain I’ve seen in years. Also, Pretzels the beagle is my favorite, and I love him. The series includes so many solid and colorful characters, I could just list them off. From Mac and Roy themselves to The Mayor and Deal, no one isn’t incredible.

Perfect comic books.
