What did you pour? I have Buffalo trace...nothing special, thats for tomorrow.

where's the books?! I just poured a drink and Im ready!

195-197 Batman Haunted Knight 1-3 I haven’t read this before and really liked it! Loeb/Sale are a great team! I have read almost everything they have done together.

186-194 American Carnage 1-9 tpb Real good crime story by Bryan Hill. Deals with a lot of things happening in our world today.

185 Real Fact Comics 15 its beat and missing some of the 1st and 2nd page but the rest is there....im assuming this counts as 1

183-184 Detective Comics 1006-1007 Fir some reason I like the Spectre stories Ive read, and this one was a quick 2 issue story. I really liked the art of Kyle Hotz! Although his art reminds me of someone I just cant place it though.

If I read 4 of the EC stories Id count it as 1 book. But with the masterpiece books I would count each book within the volume as one book. So if there is six books and one volume I would count that is six books. @theCapraAegagrus I was trying to have fun to lighten things up and generally thought it was a question to ask. 😆 so I’ll count the books as one book which is what I was thinking about doing anyway glad everyone had fun with this!!! Thanks for chiming in!

I dont read westerns but I got this for The Flower Women, but liked Hard Boiled Harry the most. Thanks @Readcomix

182 Tim Holt 34 This is another @Readcomix sugguestion! The 2 Horror stories were great! There was The flower women which was pretty good, Its about a man who takes some flowers that a cursed from an Indian reservation, takes them home to plant. The flowers release a gas and he sees beautiful women. He's wife gets jealous that he is spending time with the flowers and tries to kill him, but he kills her. Then she comes back to life and kills him. The other is Had Boiled Harry just read it hear, 6 total pages. https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=2764

Can I please get a consensus vote from (OP has the grand ruling!!!) @AlexH @DavidTheDavid @Talapas1 @Norinn Radd @Ken Aldred @theCapraAegagrus @s-man 1) Im going to read a GA book that is 52 pages. Does this count as 1 or 2 books? Only asking because @AlexH said standard 22 page. 2) Im also wanting to read a copper series Invasion 1-3, but all 3 books are 80 pages apiece. So is that 1 book? Or 4 books? Meaning if I read 1-3 is that 12 books or 3 books toward my total count? Thanks guys I just want to be fair!

180-181 Thor 332-333 Fun story featuring Dracula. Dracula turns Sif into a Vampire and Thor saves her is the short of it. This was recommended by @Readcomix Thanks Gene!

I find more humor in the background of the panels than in the stories. And I think you expressed it correctly that the humor “feels forced”. I think its the only Kurtzman stories Im not a fan off which is sad because his wasr stories are awesome.

179 Mad 7 This is a cross post from the EC addict thread. I have to admit Im not a big fan of the early Mad books. I only have 3-4. I feel like Im missing the punchline, but great art!!

Boils and Ghouls, Have I a treat for you! HeeHee Its so Mad bad that I could not resits the urge to pay 2K for heehee! So here's my copy of Mad 7!!! TA-DA this is a "gem mint" for me and a great find! Here was the item description from eBay PRETTY CRAPPY, BUT A NEXT TO THE CHIMNEY ATTIC SURVIVOR!! has been wet, cover was dirty, lots of wear/stains/NOT FLAT, tanned pages, misc small tears/creases/wrinkle, FILLER COPY. Now I take offense to these "slasher-ish" "Slander-ish" words..."Pretty crappy"??? Says who!!..... Its "gore-ish" gorgeous !!! ........."Has been wet"...Who hasn't been wet? ............."Cover dirty" well who hasn't been dirty?......."lots of wear/stains/not flat ( you should see my tummy!!) tanned pages (like my skin...) misc small tears/creases/wrinkle (we all have those) filler copy...Its off to CGC!!! And Its probably a "Pedigree" with that date stamp/marker!!! This Is the standout in my Mad collection!!!

170-178 Batman Curse if the White Knight 1-8 Batman White Knight Presents Von Freeze One-Shot OK I reallly love the Sean Murphy Batman lore! DC has given him free reign to do whatever he wants and he is nailing it!!! I cant wait for more! Curse of the White Knight is about the Wanye family and where they come from wrapped in a mystery. Taken from mycomicshop.com The Joker recruits Azrael to help him expose a shocking secret from the Wayne family's legacy-and to run Gotham City into the ground! As Batman rushes to protect the city and his loved ones from danger, the mystery of his ancestry unravels, dealing a devastating blow to the Dark Knight. Exciting new villains and unexpected allies will clash in this unforgettable chapter of the White Knight saga-and the truth about the blood they shed will shake Gotham to its core!

@cgcsketcherz have you read any of the Star Wars legacy stories? I read the first 12 issues back when they came out. I remember I liked them but stopped reading them. If not you should hunt them down since you like Star Wars!

Sean Murphy Writer/Artist and Matt Hollingsworth on colors.

162-169 Batman White Knight 1-8 This is my second favorite Batman story behind Scott Snyders Black Mirror. I love the art and story. Joker takes pills to stay sane and helps Gotham. But he does it in reverse of Batman. Meaning he brakes the law but in a less destructive way to show Gotham that Batman is bad. Ill be reading the Follow up Series next!!!

Thats what I thought...Thanks!

161 Master of Kung-Fu 100 Ive bever read one of these and it was at a LCS for super cheap and thought it would be a action packed story...nope REAL wordy a lot of text, walls os of it, kinda like Brain Micheal Bendis. It was OK I guess I enjoyed it to some extent. The last part of the story was about Jack the Ripper but not THE Jack the Ripper... Has anyone else read any Master of Kung-Fu books? Are they wordy or action packed? Did I get a so-so issue?

160 Daredevil 30 This is my earliest Daredevil. The story was OK. I also like covers with Thor swinging his hammer and I think this is the only one I own Also whos “mike murock” Ive seen the name but I dont know how it fits in with DD...is it Matts alter ego???

Fables is great!!! And Black Monday Murders was great as well, Ive only read 1-4 but Im going to read all 8 next month or sooner. Preacher was definitely a fun read as well.

159 DC presents 29 Recommended by @Readcomix and purchased from @loboagain The main superman/spectre story was good I liked it a lot. Superman flies so fast and breaks all these different barriers that spectre has to intervene Before he flies in to heaven! Fun story thanks Gene!!!

Aww shucks! Thanks! I was surprised that I was able to grab it a few weeks ago! Im super happy!! And it low grade with water damage, I dont know if its apparent or not in the scans.
