About Comic Book Roundup
Comic Book Roundup is the comics equivalent of Rotten Tomatoes — a review-aggregation service that pulls professional and high-quality community reviews from dozens of outlets and produces a single weighted score per issue. Every comic from the major publishers gets a dedicated page with the aggregated critic average, individual review excerpts and links, user reviews, and a cumulative score for the broader story arc or run.
The value of the aggregator format is twofold. For readers picking weekly pulls, a quick browse of the week's highest-scoring issues highlights critically successful books that you might otherwise miss, especially across mid-tier publishers. For collectors trying to anticipate which runs might develop a strong long-term following on the secondary market, sustained high critic and community scores across a story arc are a useful — if imperfect — leading indicator.
Individual issue pages also display sales rankings, creator credits, and full cover galleries including variant covers. The Best Comics lists (weekly, monthly, yearly) are well-curated and worth bookmarking.
The site is free to read with an optional ad-supported model.
