Hehe, nothing wrong with a strong fight for second place, lol

 

 

True, but I ain't going to get 2nd place either :blush:

Just having fun sharing what I read and hoping it makes someone pick up a comic that they might not have. This thread has done that for me (thumbs u

This thread has made me a reader again, can't say how many trades I have picked up because someone was raving about it in here...and I'm a better man for it.

When I started in 2011 I thought I was mainly going to read my backlog of backissues from 1961-1985... but after a while I got to reading more and more moderns and now it's almost exclusively modern books.

Bullet to the Head- 6 issues (Pretty cool! Crime fiction with great art! (thumbs u )

 

Secret Avengers: V2- 7 issues (Brubaker can do no wrong in my eyes! Best of the Avengers books! (thumbs u )

Supreme Power: Gods and Soldiers- 4 issues (Decent read.)

Ultimate Captain America- 4 issues (Really enjoyed this take on a "different" Cap.)

Warlord of Mars- 9 issues (Great story, good art, fatastic Jusko covers! Welcome back John Carter! (thumbs u )

Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris- 5 issues (Decent read, nowhere near as good as the WOM trade. Once again, some great Jusko covers.)

Buck Rogers V2- 7 issues (Love this version of Buck!!!! (thumbs u )

22. Rock Bottom - Graphic Novel

 

I'd recommend reading this, nice black & white art by Charlie Adlard. The story is about a guy who slowly finds he is turning into stone. This isn't about superheroes or anything along those lines, just a man who is undergoing a very strange event and how this effects his life and those around him.

Oh man, i've been pretty bad keeping track of what i've read but i have been keeping my goal of 3 comics a day since the last time i posted. I'm pretty proud of that since i was lagging pretty bad there in the begining. Lets see what i can remember some of what i read.

 

Still reading the Strange Tales trade (but i havn't been keeping track of those so i'll just add it as one lump sum when im done with it)

 

I finished reading the first book of the flash chronicles. (Im just going to add these as one lump sum when i finish them also. 5 comics each)

I read a coverless copy of batman 29 and detective 219 last night that i picked up yesterday.

23bm29.jpg

 

A couple other batman/tecs i can remember reading in the past couple weeks are batman 205, detective comics 319, 320, 362, 363, 374, 375

27dc320.jpg

 

28dc362.jpg

 

29dc363.jpg

 

30dc374.jpg

 

31dc375.jpg

 

Ive been reading alot of the sci fi reprints by DC also. (Strange Adventures, From Beyond the Unkown)

 

I got myself a notepad to keep track of what i read so i can keep track of every book i read this year. I think it'll be pretty cool at the end of the year to see what books i read that whole year.

 

76 down. Alot more to go.
