Decisions
are hard, but they still have to be made.
VotesAudiophilia finished up with an awesome little mini-arc, and it was absolutely one of this year’s highlights for me.
By the Book came to a close (of sorts) as well, and did it in fine form like always. Despite the epic, unwieldy, franchised even, size of the harem at this point,
BtB still manages to satisfy with each issue and I anxiously await Volume II. Coming Soon™ no doubt.
Checkered Past brought the plot and oh my was it delicious. By the by, talk about how much Plutonian Knight has improved over the years on
SJI. A virtue of this comic’s extended run is you can see similar development in Montalis’ talents, which are quite formidable at this point.
Domina gets a vote because the art is simply perfect, the content really hot, and I’m always in favor of more *cough* Dominas getting in on the action. Now if only she could just get some
help with that
Enchanted Summer is love.
Trigger Warning was, as Maid Mode Hannah might put it, “Très magnifique!” Daphne brings the script, and Maxx brings the art, and when their powers combine... the results are :haughty sniff: pretty decent.
Waiting Room. Because Mind-wiped Maid Alix. And the cheerleaders. And ‘bots. And bed frame tentacles. And of course, Laurel’s boobs. Which may or may not have made me vote for her comic.
Honorable MentionsAfter the Show was fucking amazing, but so was
Trigger Warning. Felt guilty voting for two very similar titles and so forced to choose, it’s
Trigger Warning since we already have two issues of this. I can still have both again in the future though, yes? Please? Pretty, pretty please?!
The Canadian Girlfriend was super-sexy this year. It’s like Daphne’s extended version of
Weird (Canadian) Science, which means mind control and Rated X and Québécois girl(s). Yes please.
Drains must be the other thing Cherry was bingeing along with
NGE to fuel her current rampage on
SJI. It appears we have similar tastes...
Friend Request finally showed its hand, and I sincerely hope that things are just getting started.
Gig Economy has a really great setup with a ton of potential for fun and/or erotic shenanigans beyond what we’ve already gotten. The art was endearing, and I wish for to see more of this series. I fear we may not though
Growth Potential is breast expansion I can get behind! Or between? Betwixt? All of the above? Yes, all of the above. And more.
The Persuader occupies the same mental space for me as
Waiting Room, but typically shakes out in second place. In archery terms however, we’re still talking about a real tight grouping inside the bullseye.
The Ring Cycle has a
kidyoung chap living several dreams at once. I do so look forward to him living some more~
Roll Playing is like, the greatest thing ever, but I feel that’s a known known and so rather than split votes on it this year, I decided to recognize some other titles.
The Shadow on the Sand was really weird, and kind of awesome, and I’m glad it exists!
Unleashed, I’m ashamed to say, only got read as part of this year-end voting. Passed over initially because of the length, I never circled back around despite meaning to. Have read it now though and very much enjoyed it! Not too many of the usual MC tropes I go for, but a lot of great character work and an engaging, personal story. Ultimately it didn’t enter the top echelon for me this year, but I would be sad if we didn’t get new titles like this one in the future.
