Ranking Books I Read in 2022: 25-21

25. Plunge - Joe Hill

What I Liked: A very scary concept, very well executed. The nods to The Thing tickled my horror funny bone. I was legit sad when any character died (which doesn’t seem like a flex, but any fan of horror knows that’s a triumph in itself). What I Didn’t Like: Cosmic horror always treads a fine line of being too incomprehensible for me, and there were moments that this nearly fell into that. It didn’t, but there are times when my eyes glazed over. Final thoughts: Joe Hill has found his niche in horror comics and I hope he never stops. TW body horror.

24. Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites - Evan Dorkin

What I Liked: An awesome concept with some great stories. A few of these stories tugged at my heartstrings. Fun action and adventure. What I Didn’t Like: Some pacing issues. Not all of the characters are identified by name right away, so I had a hard time telling everyone apart. Final thoughts: A great introduction to what promises to be an awesome series. TW animal abuse and animal death.

23. Severed - Scott Snyder

What I Liked: Amazingly spooky. Legitimately made me feel uneasy several time. A very cool idea for a monster. What I Didn’t Like: Why did Sam have to die, huh?! Final thoughts: A great, quick scary short story.

22. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - Rey Tercerio

What I Liked: They didn’t senselessly kill Beth, yay! An interesting way to add more diversity by making the March’s a blended family. Jo being a lesbian is the best way to avoid the shipping nonsense of the original book. Laurie and his grandpa are actually adorable? What I Didn’t Like: Amy was slightly too bratty for me to enjoy, but I know that’s the point of her character so I can’t really complain. Beth was also still kinda blej, but at least I liked her enough to be compelled by her story. Final thoughts: It takes something special for me to actually enjoy Little Women, and I think this book accomplished that.

21. Rain - Joe Hill

What I Liked: Another incredibly interesting, original idea. Honeysuckle is a badass and I love her. What I Didn’t Like: The same problem with Plunge - I didn’t want certain characters to die and they did and it tore me asunder. Final thoughts: Even better than Plunge. TW homophobia and racism.
