Detective 51-60. Last three were the best (featuring Penguin/Joker).

Batman Adventures 10-16. A nice change from 40s Batman stories. ;)

 

Cheater :sumo: You are only reading the Bat story from those 'Tecs :baiting:

 

I have a similar issue: how do I count the Viking Prince stories from the collected Viking Prince?? hm

page count- roughly 22 pages = 1 comic read.

Day #3 Creepy #5 - #10

 

Were they good reading?

 

Still on the fence, art is fantastic...stories are a little simple. I prefer the EC horror stories, but then most people do.

I am going to stick with the Creepies though, there is the odd story in there that's REALLY good and from the letterpage I gather that those are the ones most readers liked as well.

So maybe in the later issues, the stories will become a little more adult and not all have a twist in the tail, as some of them are a reach.

I started reading X-Men Mutant Genesis, which collects the first seven issues of the Lee/Claremont X-Men run from the early '90s. I remember buying them on the stands. I even bought several copies so I could get the different covers. Ooooh.

 

But holy smokes is this wordy. Took me an hour to read two issues. There's a scene in which Magneto breaks up a battle and stands over the X-Men, all scary like. Then he proceeds to talk and talk and talk and talk. It's like 20 minutes of dialog in one panel.

True, but for most issues that's all I have access to. Besides, these stories are DENSE! The Batman story from Detective #61 is only 13 pages, but it's over 90 panels and probably over 1000 words of dialog and narration.

That's probably not a bad idea. I've got some reprints of newspaper strips I hope to get to eventually. For those, I planned to count a month's worth of strips as one comic.

Ah - the good old days of comic book writing.

I have no illusion that I can do it. There is no way with a 14-month old and, even without her as an excuse, I still don't think I could ... but it's a worthy experiment. Maybe I should buy more Bendis books to help along the way and cut down the reading time lol

 

I was wondering if someone was going to mention this...

Slipping a little :eek:

 

 

Day #4

Hellboy The Sleeping and the Dead #1 (pretty good, but I would live for Mignola to do interiors again)

Ultimate Avengers 3 #5 (which was awful)

Warlord of Mars #3 (surprisingly good from a publisher I hadn't heard of before)
