2020 was definitely a year unlike any other, with the COVID-19 pandemic bringing some significant changes to much of our everyday life. That was especially true with regards to the entertainment industry, as a number of blockbusters films were delayed due to the virus s spread, pushing back the big-screen debuts of some fan-favorites in the process. Still, audiences were introduced to some memorable new characters over the past year, which we want to highlight as part of the ComicBook.com Golden Issue Awards, in which our staff votes on the best movies, TV, comics, gaming, anime, and wrestling from 2020.
