2024 Recap

After two rough years, I improved a bit in 2024, although I was still reading more graphic novels and manga than traditional comics or minicomics.

My total number of reviews in 2024 was 35, which is a big step up from 2023, but still not even one per week. I'm looking to give more attention to the Random Stack (box, really) of Unread Comics in 2025, so let's see if I can improve on that figure of 35.

Here are some highlights and lowlights of the year.

Highest Rated Comics of 2024:

Death Note Volume 3 (8.5)
Heartstopper Volume 2 (8.5)
Mage: The Hero Discovered Collected Edition Book 1 (8.5)
Once Upon a Time in the North (8.5)

The Treasure of the Black Swan (9)

Lowest Rated Comics of 2024:

Batman/Superman: World's Finest: The Devil Nezha (5)
