Looking back at our favorite "comic covers of 2015":https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/12/the-best-comic-book-covers-of-2015.html, the overall conclusion is that the last 12 months weren't afraid to get weird. And that's OK—it was a weird year. Infographics, negative space, Swiss design and limited color palettes took to the fore. If previous years have marked new strides forward in materials and styles, 2016 confirmed it as a reality that's seeped into every crevice of the comic industry.
