be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the most over the top violent comic
books to ever get published manga
however will not be included because
let’s be honest with the level of
violence and some of those books they
really deserve their own list number 10
invincible invincible is a superhero
comic like few others under the
creator-owned Image Comics banner
writers and artists had the opportunity
to really push the envelope and take
risks in ways they never could with the
big to Marvel and DC in invincible
Robert Kirkman draws heavily on classic
superhero tropes such as the teenage
main character an alien origin story
resulting in near godlike powers and
more he then proceeds to show just how
gruesome battles involving such figures
could realistically become think
Kryptonians not holding back mixed with
a Kill Bill level of exaggerated
bloodshed when battle beasts font
dragged violent was putting it mildly
number 9 spawn to die
yeah another image comic and another
grizzly display of comic-book violence
while spawn has ahem spawned a couple of
adaptations over the years
neither the film nor the award-winning
animated HBO miniseries managed to
recreate the grotesque violence of their
source material Mason who mafia dirtbag
piece of shit who never looks better the
HBO series was certainly dark never
shying away from sexuality or violence
but even it has a dial things back a bit
in the gritty 90s dark and extreme
themes where the order of the day
sometimes at the expense of storytelling
well-known characters were suddenly over
jacked or insanely pointy costumes and
seemingly growled constantly the thing
is spawned managed all of the above in a
truly genuine way and brought quality
storylines to justify the carnage
number eight evil Ernie versus
superheroes final spawn does plenty of
maiming and dismembering it’s often his
villains who really bring the bloodshed
lucky for him evil Ernie the insane
supernatural mass murderer published by
chaos comics is not in his Rose gallery
because when Ernie’s involved printing
presses kind of run out of red ink
created by Brian Pulido and Steve Hughes
in 1991 Ernie is pretty much evil
incarnate and in this comic book series
the embodiment of evil looks a lot like
an 80s metalhead but you know just Jenna
Seidel of all his various mini-series
and watch shots evil Ernie
vs superheroes is the most memorably
violent it’s essentially an orgy of
destruction with evil Ernie hilariously
ripping apart generic knockoffs of the
most popular superheroes number 7 Judge
Dredd only one thing fighting for order
and the chaos the men and women of the
Hall of Justice
the less said about these cologne
adaptation the better but if you’ve seen
the 2012 film adaptation of this comic
series you know just how violent the
streets of the dystopian mega city one
to get with the law enforcement officers
known as judges serving as judge jury
and executioner justice is Swift and
typically explosive the comic has a long
history of violence
with the chronicles of Judge Dredd and
company spanning countless series
one-shot and miniseries since their 1977
debut in 2008 D comics issue number two
Judge Dredd can be counted among a
select few comic books to ever show the
digital hero punching through the head
of a villain it’s a violent world full
of violent people
number six Sin City I pick his weapons
away both in a comic book world’s made
up almost exclusively of high contrast
black and white color is used sparingly
and to great effect and more often than
not the color of choice is red sometimes
yellow arguably the greatest neo-noir
comic ever made Sin City revels in
violent imagery that’s amazing my
fingers he made me watch death is common
in the pages of this Dark Horse
publication and people rarely meet their
demise in a clean or Swift fashion but
even when the series explores the most
sadistic of displays the highly stylized
artwork is a finished product that is
equally disturbing and beautiful deadly
little Miho you won’t feel a thing
unless you want you to she twists the
plain she feels it
number five punisher max imagine take it
easy
I’m just trying to make a buck forgive
us for stating the obvious here but the
Punisher has earned his name since
making his debut in the amazing
spider-man number 129
he’s killed countless criminals but for
most of his publishing history the
character has felt constrained or sold
short by his place in the Marvel
Universe where age-appropriate content
is key realistically though The Dude’s a
killing machine who uses knives and
bullets that’s inherently gruesome
content
finally with Punisher Max we get to see
Frank castle in all his gory attempts to
me glory we got to witness what Frank
does behind those closed doors the max
imprint is r-rated Marvel content and
boy did this series earn that rating
torture headshots and brutal
hand-to-hand combat oh my
number four god is dead even the best
comic book writers are entitled to a
mistake or two Jonathan Hickman gave us
great comics like the nightly news the
manhattan projects and east-west god is
dead on the other hand was largely hated
by fans and critics alike that being
said what it lacks in substance
originality and star we telling it makes
up for with gratuitous violence whoo
here the gods of various religions
essentially Throwdown in a Royal Rumble
kind of like smite but bloodier
published by avatar press a company
known for its particularly gory ongoing
series it delivers carnage of biblical
proportions forget the Nile the entire
planet is running red in this comic
number three
kick-ass
this comic requires little introduction
while violence is a prerequisite for
this particular list kick-ass deserves a
special nod for being the only title to
really focus on children as the primary
agents of carnage and mayhem these kids
are superheroes without powers so they
just pummel slice and dice inner enemies
instead if you’ve only ever seen the
film adaptations we highly recommend you
pick up one of the trade paperbacks of
this infamous series by Mark Miller the
films which guards so much controversy
among the press were honestly tasteful
compared to the source material issue
number two hilariously included the
caption sickening violence just the way
you like it on its cover
classic Miller
number two The Walking Dead Robert
Kirkman makes a second appearance on our
list with his post-apocalyptic modern
classic after more than a decade of
success and over 150 issues Walking Dead
remains one of the best-selling monthly
series despite the fact that it has with
a few notable exceptions killed off
every man character we’ve grown to love
in a future where the dead walked the
earth as you can probably imagine few
people leave this world peacefully while
we’ve largely grown numb to the human on
zombie and zombie on human violence
it’s the brutal human on human violence
that really kept things interesting for
all these years
this title proves that you don’t need
any color to achieve gory results before
we unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions

number one crossed sometimes the
competition for our number one spot can

crossed however it more likely maimed
mutilated tortured and disemboweled the
competition on the way to the top spot
created by Garth Ennis who gave us such
violent masterpieces as preacher the
boys and the aforementioned Punisher max
series comes this dystopian tale of a
world perverted beyond repair a
mysterious disease doesn’t turn people
into zombies but rather the crossed
utterly depraved Psychopaths who kill
