Superhero Comics for Teens

Love superhero movies? Curious about the comics? Not sure where to start? Well, this list has you covered. It's got Marvel; it's got DC; it's even got a few independent heroes if you've got the Marvel/DC fatigue (don't worry, we've all been there) Most of the comics you'll find here are new or in high demand, so get yourself on that hold list before it's a mile long!

  • The first in an amazing series about the Teen Titans. It's got five books out currently, with the sixth coming out in the fall of 2025! You'll love it, I promise. And, even if the story doesn't speak to you, the incredible art will.

  • Batman

    Gotham by Gaslight

    Augustyn, Brian,
    It's Batman fighting, like, Jack the Ripper and stuff. Plus, the aesthetic from that cover alone? Immaculate.

  • Okay, so, technically, these kids aren't superheroes. BUT! They do fight Godzilla, and they do save people/their favorite hangout spot. So, they definitely count.

  • Superman

    the World

    Stories of Superman's heroism and bravery from around the world. If the most recent Superman movie left you hungry for more punk rock Man of Steel, here you go!

  • She might be a lesser-known hero to newer Marvel fans, but Dazzler is by no means forgettable. Just look at that Glam Rock aesthetic and tell me you don't want to attend one of her shows. Plus, she's got a little Spider-Gwen cameo; what more could…

  • Sure, Superman is great, but maybe you're here for the Girl Power, and you're so real for that. Supergirl is the embodiment of Girl Power. And she's got Krypto with her, too, so you have literally nothing to lose with this one.

  • We all want more Miles Morales in our lives, and here's a fantastic place to start. This is the first of six in a series, so you'll have plenty of Miles to hold you over until the next Spider-Verse movie.

  • In another dimension, one girl is caught between two sides of an all-out magical war. I'll be honest, I put this on here for the cover alone. It's probably a little more manga than comic, but that just adds to the charm.

  • The OG lightning user in my heart, above even Thor himself. Perhaps a lesser-known DC character, but you should definitely look up the original Static Shock cartoon series when you have the chance. In the meantime, here's one of his comics.
    Graphic Novel, 2022Burbank, CA : DC Comics, [2022] — Static #1
  • Batman

    Wayne Family Adventures. Volume One

    Payne, CRC,
    Maybe you want something a little less gritty. A little less violent. A little more funny and heartfelt. Boy, do I have the comic for you. Wayne Family Adventures (WFA) is all the bat-family content you never knew you needed. Everyone lives, nobody…
    Graphic Novel, 2023Burbank, CA : DC Comics, [2023] — Batman Wayne #1
  • Generally lauded as THE comic series for any Hawkeye reader. The comedy is on-point, the covers are always that cool, and you walk away loving Hawkeye even more than you thought possible.
    Graphic Novel, 2013New York, NY : Marvel Worldwide, Inc., 2013. — Hawkey #1
  • With the recent Ironheart series out on Disney+, it would a tragedy to not include one of her comics on this list. Riri is literally one of the smartest characters in Marvel and criminally underrated. You're missing out by not giving her story a try.
