About comic book names

A comic book name has to do three jobs at once: fit on a cover in big type, survive being shortened to one word in conversation, and tell a browser which shelf it belongs on. Superhero books are traditionally named after the lead (a name, a rank, a colour plus a noun), team books after the group, and indie comics after a place, an object or a phrase that sounds like it is already half a story. Horror titles lean on ordinary things made wrong, sci-fi titles on procedure and distance, crime titles on money, weather and bad luck.

Format matters too. A monthly series wants a title that can take an issue number and a volume subtitle; a graphic novel can afford something longer and stranger; a webcomic needs a name that is easy to type and still free as a URL and a social handle. The title should suggest a tone rather than explain a plot.

The list below covers hero and team titles, indie, horror, science fiction, crime, fantasy, all-ages and webcomic names, with plenty of single-word titles among them. All are original, so you can use them for a pitch, a zine, a Kickstarter or a first issue.

How to choose comic book names

  • Say the title out loud the way a reader would ask for it at a shop; if it needs explaining or shortens awkwardly, pick a different one.
  • Search the title before you commit: check comic databases, Kickstarter, webcomic hosts and the USPTO so you are not sharing a name with an existing book or a registered mark.
  • Match the name to the format you are actually making; a two-word punchy title suits an ongoing superhero series, while a longer phrase suits a standalone graphic novel.
  • Leave room for the logo: very long titles and titles full of thin letters (I, L, T) are hard to make bold on a cover, which is why so many classic comics are one or two words.
  • Avoid leading with a generic noun like Tales or Adventures unless the rest of the title is distinctive; the unusual word is what readers remember.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good comic book title?

Short, concrete and suggestive of tone. One to three words is the norm for ongoing series, and the strongest titles use a specific image or name rather than a vague theme. It should also look good in heavy display type and shorten cleanly to a single word.

Can I use a name from this generator for my own comic?

Yes. Every title here is original and free to use. Titles cannot be copyrighted, but they can be trademarked as a brand, so search for existing comics and registered marks before printing covers or launching a crowdfunding campaign.

Should my superhero comic be named after the hero or the team?

If the book follows one character, naming it after them is standard and makes the character the brand. Team books take the group name. If the cast rotates or the concept matters more than any one hero, a concept title (a place, an event, a phrase) gives you more freedom later.

How do I name a webcomic?

Prioritise a name that is easy to spell, short enough for a URL and a social handle, and still available on the major hosting platforms. Slice-of-life and humour webcomics often use a pairing (Coffee & Cosmic Horror) or a plain phrase that sounds like a running joke.
