Original sci-fi content in YA comics and graphic novels isn’t quite as plentiful as superhero stories, but we still have some really great and interesting stuff, and much of it showcases queer and marginalized identities, which is one of the reasons why I love YA comics so much. I didn’t include any of the Marvel or DC Comics original YA graphic novels because there are just so many, but if you want to explore those books, then start by checking out titles like Nubia: Real One by L.L. McKinney, Mister Miracle by Varian Johnson, or Teen Titans by Kami Garcia — there’s pretty much a YA graphic novel for every DC hero you can think of, and for many you haven’t even thought about!
