This year I read a little over 350, so more than the pandemic, but it was definitely a weaker year for comics.

Last year was particularly good, I had trouble cutting down to a Top 10 ongoing and miniseries, and pretty easily got to Top 10 new series. This year my miniseries was over-flowing, but my ongoing couldn't get past 7, and four of those ended this year.

Immortal Hulk also ended last year.

This year, six of them were from last year's new series and the other one was on last year's top 10.

Nightwing (#88-99, Annual #1) (Last year #1 Best New)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo continue to deliver the best comic book on the stands, month-in and month-out. Progressive, funny, sweet, and action-packed, this year sees further development of the long-delayed and finally consummated Nightwing and Batgirl romance, the culmination of the Blockbuster plot in a very satisfying way, and then in an annual at the end of the year, the secret origin of Heartless, the next big bad who's been a part since the first issue of the run.

Superman Son of Kal-El (#6-18) (Last year #2 Best New)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                As much as I love Nighwing, Superman Son of Kal-El is close to taking that #1 spot every month. Jon Kent as the queer young activist Superman is a thing I didn't know I needed, and this year's story, pitting him against Lex Luthor and Henry Bendix, is a great acceleration of what started in the first volume, and wraps up with this one. The return of Kal-El is also great, and seeing how Superman deals with his gay son is note perfect, but I have to admit I'm sad to see Jon returned to the secondary position that he'll be in with Kal back.

Moon Knight (#7-18, Annual #1) (Last year #8 Best New)

The inclusion of Tigra, his West Coast Avengers pal, as an inside man for T'Challa, was a nice touch. The Structure, a sort of pyramid scheme/mafia vampire group, makes for a great set of bad guys. And the annual, which brought in Werewolf By Night in an interesting and new way, was a great way to finish off the year.

That said, it's a solid finale to a series that was really more about Jim Gordon than the Joker. I just would have liked a stronger ending for Gordon's story, it all boiled down to Court of Owls/Bane/Joker more than I wanted at the end.

Most of the second half of the Spider-Man Beyond story was great, with especially great stuff featuring the Daughters of the Dragon and Monica Rambeau. It almost tanked because of the weird decision to turn Ben into a villain at the end, but on balance it was the best Spider-Man has been since Slott left.

Things go poorly. An amazing high concept with a really fun, wacky, apocalyptic interpretation courtesy of Charles Soule and Ryan Browne. I'm a little wary because their last collaboration, Curse Words, didn't quite come together at the end, but so far, this is great.

It's also got fascinating characters and Zdarsky's trademark weird sense of humor, and is so far a great ride.

It's sort of about the legacy of Walt Disney if he was a secret satanist with magic powers, as viewed through the lens of his two screwed-up kids, and it's another great premise well-executed so far.

Mixing in the departed Stephen Strange, a conspiracy-minded magic bad guy, and a new magic-inflected version of SHIELD makes for more worldbuilding fun alongside the usual great character work, dialogue, and moments I've come to expect.

She-Hulk (#1-9)

But after taking time to read it in a trade-sized chunk, I realized I really liked Rainbow Rowell's take on Jen, even if it's quite different from what we got in the TV series or in the comics up to this point. It's not up to the level of Soule's or Slott's run yet, but it's a solid offering for a favorite character of mine, and the artwork, by Roge Antonio, is fantastic.

Hell to Pay (#1-2)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Image launched a few books this year with great premises, and Hell to Pay is the last one on this list, with Charles Soule on the helm. Where Eight Billion genies has the weirder art of Ryan Browne, this has a more traditional style from Will Sliney. It's about a couple working for a magical illuminati, and has in its DNA a bit of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Thin Man, and the first three issues are a great trip.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                7.

I'm a little wary of the dark secret at the heart of the book, and starting the ultimate team book by having everyone separated, but the first two show a real knack for two of the important romantic relationships in the book, not to mention humanistic science-fiction superheroics, and it's got me more interested in the FF than I have been in years.

He's been co-opted by the military, the police, and right-wing douchebags for so long, and that probably had something to do with Jason Aaron and Marvel deciding to re-invent him as a sword-wielding badass leading the Hand, the evil ninjas from Daredevil. I don't know how sustainable it is long term, but it's been a fun action-adventure ride, and the painted style artwork from Jesus Saiz is exceptional.

Rogue Sun (#1-6)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Another entry in the Massive-Verse, this one is supernatural, about a son getting his estranged father's powers, set in New Orleans, and I think it is my favorite of the bunch. It's got gorgeous art from Abel. It is also very likely to wind up on my "reading in trade" because it seems that once these books get more than a half a dozen issues in I lose the thread, but I always enjoy it in larger chunks.

Spider-Man (#1-3)

I will either like it a lot, as the finale of the Spider-Verse saga Dan Slott began, and returned to finish with Mark Bagley on art, or I'm going to be really annoyed with it. There are some choices made that I'm not crazy about, and it's less fun than the original Spider-Verse, but Slott has a handle on Peter and some of these other characters more than anyone who has followed him, and he thinks big, and Bagley, while sometimes a little plain, is an expert storyteller.

Poison Ivy (#1-7)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                G. Willow Wilson's tale of a more villainous Ivy, estranged from Harley Quinn and deciding whether or not to commit genocide against the human race, is really compelling, and helped considerably by Marcio Takara's stunning artwork. It's not *quite* a Vertigo style riff, it's pretty comfortably inside the superhero/anti-hero mold, but the moment-to-moment writing of Ivy is really good and the body horror/plant horror stuff is really well done. I don't know if the second story arc will keep my attention, but so far it has it.

Dark Knights of Steel #3-8, Tales From Three Kingdoms) (Last year best new #5)

I'm not yet ready to say it's as good as DCeased overall, or better than his high points like Nightwing and Son of Kal-El, but it's damn good.

The backdrop of a Mayoral race between Kingpin and Cage, the use of the Purple Children, the mix of legal maneuvering and superhero action? It was Civil War on a smaller scale, and ten times better than that comic ever was, and it also gave us a new Daredevil status quo that I love. I just wish I enjoyed the Thunderbolts follow-up a little more, because the re-invention of that team was really good.

Because this miniseries, introducing an old partner now rival of Felicia, and teaming her up with Iron Man? It was a ton of fun, and I'm glad that all of it is being collected into an omnibus in 2023.

The reason it's so high on the list, though, is issue #1, entirely from the point of view of Grudge, Booker's cat. Just a delight all the way through.

Catwoman Lonely City (#1-4)

I understand the transition, customer response is often writer-focused, you can turn in a lot more scripts than you can finished art, and creative control is absolutely a thing. But I'm always sad when a great artist becomes a good or mediocre writer, often reducing their artistic output to covers only or less. So it is especially good when one of the best artists in the industry (Cliff Chiang) also turns out to be a damn good writer, turning in a Dark Knight Returns for Catwoman, with a bit more of an Elmore Leonard touch than Frank Miller. I'm a sucker for the "one last heist" story, and this is a brilliant example of it with stunning art.

Daredevil Woman Without Fear (#1-3)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Elektra taking over for Daredevil gave us a really cool looking new costume and an interesting take on a character that I've enjoyed only sporadically. Her frustration with Matt's methods, combined with her weird sense of honor that forces her to stick to them, is a lot of fun. This establishing mini lead nicely into the new Daredevil run.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                7. Dark Ages (#4-6) (Last year best new #4)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Tom Taylor can do no wrong for me at DC, but his Marvel track record is not too bad. All-New Wolverine remains a favorite, X-Men Red was cut tragically short. And Dark Ages is another alternate universe Tom Taylor story, the kind of thing he does best. Turning an apocalyptic event into something kind of hopeful, but also serving up plenty of danger, this is likely to get lost in the hype around DCeased, Dark Knights of Steel, and Nightwing, but it's a really good read.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                8. The Variants (#1-5)

I admit I wanted more, but it's a solid done-in-one story. If Gail and Noto were to wind up doing more Jessica Jones in the future, though, I certainly wouldn't be sad about it.

Overtly political and clever, Cody Ziglar really nails the character here, and Justin Mason's character designs and punk rock art work really well. I wouldn't be sad to see more of these characters from this creative team either.

Batman vs. Robin (#1-4)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                We're just over half way through Mark Waid's story, and it is weirdly supernatural, but I can't deny it's working. Pitting Damian against his father works, and bringing back Alfred (even though it was a tease, boo) gave some nice emotional heft to a lot of it. Also it's got art by Mahmud Asrar, so it looks great.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                11. Rogues (#1-4)

There are some weird choices here (Bronze Tiger was never a Rogue), but the characters are spot on, the heist plot suitably DC superhero-y, and the whole thing unfolds beautifully.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The first Secret Invasion was a mess, and I only half-read it. But the concept is sound, and Ryan North seems to be re-inventing the story, taking a cue from the international espionage of the upcoming Disney+ series. His take on Maria Hill as a smart, savvy CIA operative trying to stop a shapeshifting invasion is really good, and though I wish artist Frncesco Mobili was better at coherent and exciting action sequences, the first two issues have me interested to see where it goes.

Joe Hill's Rain (#1-5)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                If I have a grudge against artists-turned-writers, I have an even bigger grudge against licensed books that use the author's name but are written by someone else. So it's surprising that Chris Ryall's adaptation of Joe Hill's horror short story was so effective for me. I'll admit that it sort of petered out by the end, but I don't know how else you would have ended it. It's a melancholy and engaging read.

All of these read better collected, but the miniseries format serves it well, and this was a fun read.

But it turns out that a return to the call girl assassin ring Parker Girls was exactly what I wanted, and I'm enjoying this a lot. So much so it got me to read some of Moore's back catalog that I'd miss.

Nice House on the Lake #7-12) (Last year #6 best new)

That said, the art by Alvaro Martinez Bueno is stunning, and I suspect when read all in one (or as the two volumes it will be by the end of the year) I'll enjoy it more.

This has some amazing moment-to-moment writing, a really creepy premise, and needed at least one more issue to really land. But it's still a solid horror outing.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                To be honest, like most crossovers, I thought this dissolved into nonsense by the end. But the first half really worked for me, and even if the ending was cosmic editorial gobbledygook, those moments carried it through for me.

Yes, I picked it up in part because it's the name of my store.

DCeased War of the Undead Gods (#1-4)

This is the finale of the trilogy (yes, there were three series in volume 1), and Taylor is going big, with zombie Darkseid with a yellow lantern ring being only the tip of the iceberg. It's great, and I can't wait for the finale in 2023.

It remains a super good run, and the idea of Daredevil and Elektra as a team running the opposite number of the Hand is a really interesting new take on the characters, and is right in line with what Zdarsky has been doing. It's also taking advantage of the new Punisher status quo in interesting ways.

Full of fun puns, outrageous ideas, and as great as the first one.

I'm still not sure about the decision to kill off a major character for shock value, but it's working so far. I'm not as in love with it as I was when it went on hiatus, but it's still great.

There's a miniseries coming tying into Dark Web, and it's honestly the thing I'm most looking forward to in that crossover. It's Jed McKay, which is worth noting as he's written maybe the best Black Cat ever.

This year it had sprinkles of visual teases for next year, but it also had a really good story pitting Kang against a foe that challenged him, without punking him out or making him any less the powerful conqueror and time-traveler that he should be. I am crossing all my fingers and toes that MacKay is the next writer for Avengers, which promises to pick up on what was established here.

It's a spinoff of Aaron's Avengers, which I don't really like, but if there were more stories in this setting by this creative team, I'd totally read them.

I only have 5 left unread from 2020-2021, although I do also have some more from 2019 and before to read. All in all, I read about 90 graphic novels this year, most of them bigger hardcovers, some of them in serialized format. That's double the number I read last year, so making good progress on my stack.

This year, I played a *lot* more, in part thanks to Boardgame Arena's online tools, but in part due to more game nights and a super-productive BGG Con, plus a visit to GAMA and GenCon. All told, I played 94 different games, 250+ times, with 70 of them being new to me. However... 82 of those plays and 3 of those new games were on BGA, but still, that's 170+ plays, 67 new games, and over 90 different games.

Sushi Nini (man am I glad to have these guys back, it's recent so I only had them twice this year, but I expect it'll be more next year)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    20. El Dorado Cafe (I found this gem late this year, I expect I'll eat there a lot more in 2023)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I also kept track of where I ate lunch this year, and these are my favorites, based on how often I ate there. It's not just quality of food, here, but also closeness to work, where I'm usually eating lunch. I doubled my options this year.

For television. Last I year I watched 73 shows and had 21 that I didn't finish. This year I had 87 and 44 that I didn't finish.

Midnight Mass and Cowboy Bebop were both one season shows from Netflix (Bebop was canceled, Midnight Mass was planned), Top Chef Family Style was a one season show so far, Resident Alien lost my interest, and Only Murders in the Building stayed in my top 10, Sex Lives of College Girls stayed in my top 20, and Physical and Rutherford fell outside the top 20, mostly because the offerings this year were so good.

I gave both second chances after they failed to impress me, and I finished Our Flag and still can't get into Reservation Dogs. I'm glad people love them, they're just not for me. And yes, I know everyone loved Andor and I know why, but it wasn't even my favorite Star Wars show this year, and none of them cracked the top 50.

Last year I wasn't sure it was worth the $15/month, but at this point, it was well worth it. Wonder if Zaslav will change all that in 2023.

Then again they have 1/4 of my top 20 as well, although that's a big drop off from the number of shows I was watching.

The Good Fight didn't make my list, but I might finish it out.

But they're the only place to watch the new Quantum Leap, which I'm really enjoying, which will keep it on my list until hopefully another show comes along.

Netflix and Hulu, however, while still being worth the money, both lost a ton of viewing time to their challengers. Streaming is likely to change a lot in the next year or two, I'll be interested to see who's still standing by 2025. Based on this year, Paramount+, Apple+, and Disney+ are my must-haves that keep improving, and I suspect HBO Max and Netflix will continue to decline in 2023. Hulu remains solid with a decent back catalog, FX shows, and impressive originals, and Prime is moving up with new seasons of Rings of Power and The Boys (and its upcoming spinoff), and now Mike Flanagan's Dark Tower and Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K in development. 2023 could be a slower year for them, because I doubt any of those will show until 2024, but we'll see what they have on deck.
