Very clear winner for me.
6) Monstress, Vol. 9: The Possessed
Second frame of Chapter 51 (the third in this compilation):
I’ve totally lost track of what’s going on with the plot of this series.
5) My Favorite Thing is Monsters, Book 2
Second frame of what looks like it might be the third section:
Superlative graphic novel, but I am not at all convinced that it is sff.
4) We Called Them Giants
Only frame of third page:
HELLO?!
Mysterious dark story of the disappearance of most of humanity, and the giants that come instead.
3) The Hunger and the Dusk: Vol. 1
Second frame of third part:
Orcs and humans have made peace; but something worse is coming.
2) The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
Not sure if there are sections, but this is the second frame of the third page.
Lovely LGBTQ+ coming-of-age story, with a monster in the basement.
1) Star Trek: Lower Decks: Warp Your Own Way
Second frame of third page:
Mariner: Spock Clock, cancel all alarms for the day.
Clock: Acknowledged. Sleep long and prosper, Lieutenant Junior Grade Mariner.
Just a total joy. Beautifully consistent with the TV series, yet warping the format of a choose-your-own-adventure story to challenge the reader.
