The Bikini Bottom Horror

8/10

I remember this as one of your nominations for the last time I attempted one of my ill-fated big horror rankings topics (I miss doing those!) I read it through all the way then, and unfortunately don't remember too much of it now but I think just this first chapter alone nails what you're going to get into when you embark on the journey. It's the typical "kid-friendly thing turned disturbing and horrifying". On the one hand, it's the sort of thing that can be a little cheap - woah, look at SpongeBob getting penetrated and injected with enzymes through the mouth by Patrick. That's not what's supposed to happen in a cartoon like that!

But hey, when it's this well-done with artwork resembling some of the greatest body horror pieces around, I can easily give it a flying pass. The writing is genuinely funny and compelling and you can imagine the characters from the show transplanted into this world of horror with no real disconnect. Everything still feels authentically SpongeBob. This comic does get extremely anime-esque as it goes on too but still keeps that body horror flair alive. It's a good read and worth it just for the artwork alone.
