2020 is going to end soon, let's sort out what's your favorite series coming from this year.

It's up to you if you want to rank your top 5, or not.
Any more you can add as honorable mentions.

So in my case, i'm a junkie of anthro comics, but can't read all of them and is biased to certain genres or artstyles.) So... here's my 5 favorites:

(this melts my heart with its innocence and beauty of the lineart)

(the story keeps me engaged and the art keeps improving)

(wonderful art, wonderful story... just wonderful)

(@Phantomlight your diary story format works so well for your cutesy artstyle)

(this short story makes me FEEL at the end)

Honorable Mentions:
tapas.io/series/Space-Teach/info (very skillful artist, mad props)
tapas.io/series/Fred-Guara-EN/info (strong manga sense & humor, very outrageous protagonist)

For those don't get in the list, don't be s(m)ad 'kay?

My favorites are:

Paw Print Promise by @Phantomlight , I know you already mentioned it, but its amazing and its been a really sweet story that has brightened the darkest parts of this year for me.

Redux by @thel3tterm , super cool watercolor art style and awesome engaging plot

The Lives We Live by @AmandaJ-art , cute characters and a neat true crime based storyline

Slumbertown amazing art and really great relatable characters

Wellside Wishes by @irresponsiblepics they have really quirky character designs and a super cool original and unique set up for their story that I really enjoy

Also it goes without saying that Maor by @allenT is really fantastic and beautifully drawn!

Uh, Question Does it have to be on Tapas? Because I could name whats my favorite on tapas.

(I'll do it anyways.. )

Edit: I also hadn't realized you had said "created in 2020' that is why it looks different

allenT 2020-12-29 03:53:23 UTC #4

Yes, in Tapas. The series that are created in 2020.

Black_Conscious 2020-12-29 03:55:39 UTC #5

Ah, I just saw your comment when I was almost finishing up

BrambleberrySquirrel 2020-12-29 03:57:30 UTC #6

Oops, not sure if all the ones I listed were started in 2020, but they're all worth everyone's time for sure.

thedude3445 2020-12-29 03:57:39 UTC #7

I don't think I could list just five of my favorites because I have so many, but I'll try... I'll be leaving out a ton of books though... (Edit: oops I didn't realize it was "starting from 2020" at the time I posted this)

by @laurendeland Hilarious and sweet; I only started reading on Christmas and it's already one of my favorites.

by @snailienz Absolutely gorgeous artwork and one of my most anticipated stories for when it starts getting deeper in in 2021.

by @Gramkrackerhan Some really beautiful and funny autobiographical tales told in the webtoon format.

by @darthmongoose This is like my favorite anime already and it's still really early into the story, just like Virtual Pet Planet. Really can't wait for this to continue next year.

by @Ramonkey A bit underlooked but this complete (!!!) comic is super cool and has a great art style.

There's so many more that I wanted to include though ;__;

Undertaildoof34 2020-12-29 04:07:00 UTC #8

Id have to say number one would be @GD_Cruz level up hero IT IS AMAZING! it feels like I'm in the golden age of marvel and superheroes again and helps cope with the horrid atrocity that was Avenger's endgame. Plus it's got some TOP NOCH monsters in it!

Number two? Easy I died and got summoned in another world by @lorddevin2 so takes that place!
Screw staying human when the main character can become an epic black lion beast man!

Number three Starboy by @Pommie I simply adore their work!

Number four is hexes and heroes by @padduwu

number five
Dead birthday by @AidingFoal

I honestly love all these equally. THERE SOOOOOO GOOD don't make me choose

Black_Conscious 2020-12-29 04:09:14 UTC #9

Same, I didn't notice it the first time i had read it

allenT 2020-12-29 04:16:43 UTC #10

Changed the title a bit so it may not be confusing now.

gmaximin 2020-12-29 04:21:28 UTC #11

I’ll just name one not to overcrowd:

Gramkrackerhan 2020-12-29 04:33:47 UTC #12

Holy crap! Thanks for the shout out!

ivanskilling 2020-12-29 04:37:14 UTC #13

darthmongoose 2020-12-29 08:45:56 UTC #17

Errant actually started in autumn 2019, @thedude3445 so I don't qualify! But thank you for the shout out

Oooh fave new series of 2020? Let me see....

Number one top spot for me has to go to.... To Knight the Faithless by @Celandinedream ! It's beautifully drawn with a lovely colour palette, the characters are great in both design and execution and it has an effortlessly likeable protagonist. Obviously the theme being queer women who are knights it was also guaranteed to have a special personal appeal!

More good stuff:

This is just a gorgeous epic Fantasy series with an incredibly professional level of polish that seems to have flown under the radar.

Great series by @colorgoat appeared in the summer and is already a lot of fun. Love the naturalistic character interactions combined with big and bold monster encounters.

It's a solid and really professionally drawn oldskool superhero comic. 'Nuff Said!

Probably my favourite new Tapas premium in a while, it's a cute GL with a well-executed body-swapping/time jumping premise and a lovely aesthetic:

Llyrel 2020-12-29 10:36:09 UTC #18

Here are my favorites that started in 2020! ^_^

1. Necrotective by @dasruedi
Amazing art, lovely humor. The worldbuilding and story are very intriguing and I can't wait to read more of it!

2. Coin Operated Clone by @vancitta
Love the atmospheres of this one. Dystopian future stories are my favorite brands of science fiction and this one is no exception. Plus, Sai is adorable <3

3. Survivors by Paula Edith
Post-apocalyptic stories are another fave of mine, and this one is no exception. It feels like a TV series and I love that the setting is not your typical big city

4. Regicide: Lilium by enigma.re
Seriously, check this one out. It's a silent comic, so everything is told by images, which are beautifully drawn and simply gorgeous to look at

5. Necroholic by Brian Lee
I love the style of this! And the premise of the comic is just great XD I'm... not quite sure if the story is on hiatus or not, though, 'cos the last update was in November, but it totally deserves a mention

More notable mentions (comics/novels that started in 2020 that I've been reading and that I love):
Sapphire Bay Reaper Company by @AnonymousHouseCat
Sanctuary by @loonacyllc
When angels learn to fall by d4rk4lice
Cup & Quill by @Golden_Acorn

And also the already mentioned An Intern's Tale by @montrasimartina , Blinding Lights by @Namiar and Hexxes & Heroes by @padduwu

iHateFridays 2020-12-29 10:45:20 UTC #19

Oh god only five??? Alright here we go XD (So hard to make this so many good choices aughhhh)

Number 1, A comic by my friend OliveOly called Ups and Downs, it's about an angel who's not so great at being an angel who comes to Earth... and may or may not fall in love with this roommate. XD

Number 2, Unfamiliar by Haley Mewstone aka LavenderTowne, the first comic I read on this site

Number 3, Empty Land by Killian Rain, amazing world building and interesting characters

Number 4 Undefiled Wings by SpigaRose, a cute story with some awesome character designs

Number 5 Epilogue of the Brave, once again amazing world building and cool lore

montrasimartina 2020-12-29 10:47:57 UTC #20

Thank You so much! <3
