Another year has come and gone, so now it’s time to highlight some of the creative works that caught my eye from last year. As always, there were a ton of stupendous comics released in 2025, so I wanted to take the time to highlight the ones that were independently or self-published and may have slipped under the radar. I hope that you find at least one new comic here that catches your interest.

The cover of the comic “Slices of Life: A Comic Montage” by Qu. The cover features a woman with long brown hair, wearing a striped layered shirt and a gold earring, looking up towards the sky on a sunny day. Her left hand is above her face, blocking out the sun and shading her eyes. Surrounding her are the green leaves of a tree.

Disclosure: I was a backer for this comic’s Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign
A collection of short, wordless comics, Qu’s Slices of Life: A Comic Montage is a love letter to the quiet moments in life, and the ways the world inspires us to create. Calming and relaxing, with a good pinch of humour throughout. Available as a physical book through the publisher’s webstore.
