Looking for the best of the best when it comes to comics? Then you’ll want to read your way into this year’s 2025 Harvey Award nominees. These represent some of the best of the best in comics over the last year.
The Harvey Awards were founded in 1998 and named after writer and artist Harvey Kurtzman. Nominees are judged by a host of comics publishing professionals, including publishers, retailers, librarians, and educators. Anyone who has attended a ReedPop comic convention between 2016 and 2025 with a Professional or Artist Alley badge is eligible to vote in each category to select winners, which will be announced at New York City Comicon in the fall. Comics fans will be able to watch the announcements live or via livestream, and information about when and where will be shared soon.
