This is a tough question because there are so many good choices, but I have to go with this Quetzalcoatlus piece by Mark Witton.

Mark Witton's "King Tyrant" is my book of the year, even considering the recent changes to T. rex science. The art alone is truly spectacular.

Also, the wolves were bad and should've been cut from the film. They'r both bad CGI and a stereotypical portrayal of wolves in period fiction.

Instead of a brutal tragedy, the story ends up being a bittersweet parable. And I just dont think that's what I want from Frankenstein.

And unfortunately, that redemption feels unearned because the only thing pushing him towards redemption is an apology from Victor that feels like it comes out of nowhere.

Del Toro's Creature isn't as broken by the world as the novel's Creature. Shelley writes of a Creature twisted by pain into a methodical child murderer.

That seems too unsympathetic for del Toro, so he gives the Creature a sort of redemption arc.

I was down for a darker, even more selfish Victor, but I couldn't jive with a softened Creature who never truly turns his rage onto the world. When he threatens Victor, it feels empty.
