IC Comics, Inc. (or simply IC) is a Tennaiite comic book publisher and the flagship unit of IC Entertainment, a subsisdiary of Maximum Entertainment.

IC Comics is one of the largest and oldest Tennaiite comic book companies, with their first comic under the IC banner being published in 1935. The majority of its publications take place within the fictional IC Universe and feature numerous culturally iconic characters, such as Powerwoman, Nightwatch, and Balam. It is widely known for some of the most famous and recognizable teams including the League of Truth, Truth Society of Tennai, and the Teen Devas. The universe also features a large number of well-known supervillians such as Reveler, Latangi Lolla, and Vas. The company has also published non-IC Universe material including Guardians, Vengeance Squared, and Legends and many other under their alternative imprint Delilirum.

Firebird House Publisher Services distributes, IC Comics' books to the bookstore market, while Lapis Comic Distributors supplies the shop comic shop direct market. IC Comics and its longtime major competitor Amazing Comics shared approximately 70% of the Tennaiite comic book market in 2016, though the number may give a distorted view since graphic novels are excluded. With the sales of all books included, IC is the second biggest publisher , after Visionary Media, and Amazing is third.
