UPDATED: Check out The Best New Comic Book Shows of 2020!

Comic book fans are going to have a great year. There are quite a few shows based on comic book series that will be premiering in 2019. From new superhero shows on the DC Universe streaming channel to offerings from Image and Marvel Comics on everything from Epix to Syfy and Netflix, comic book TV shows are having a banner year.

The year started with Deadly Class on SyFy and the highly anticipated Doom Patrol on DC Universe, based on two lesser known but largely loved comic series. Upcoming comic book shows like Harley Quinn and Pennyworth are set in the more widely familiar Batman universe. Even though some favorites have left one streaming network for another, folks wanting their Netflix superhero show fix have The Umbrella Academy to binge and shows like Locke & Key to look forward to.

Comic book stories and superheroes are already ruling the box office and there are now more new comic book television shows than ever to watch at home. Are new DC Comics TV shows or Marvel TV shows the best or is there a property from a publisher other than the Big Two that's on your watchlist?
