Welcome to Superlatives—the show where comics go head-to-head. Every episode, we pick a Superlative Theme. For example, "Best Comic Character Death." Two of our editors each nominate a comic they think deserves the title, then step into the ring to make their case. When the arguments are done, our moderator delivers the final verdict—deciding which comic walks away with this episode’s superlative.
