1000 comics in 2015 book club

[CAHokie]

You can't count to 17?

Yes, but the actual number would have been 19

[Comic Closet]

I'm in. Why not. Sounds like fun and I have a ton I've never read.

[FutureFlash]

Identity Crisis was great. Infinite Crisis was ok.

 

Yeah Identity Crisis has been a good read thus far.

 

As Borat would say, "very nice!"

That's called "keeping you on your toes."

Identity Crisis was a real mind-"screw", let me tell you. It does set up a bit of the story for Infinite Crisis, too.

I thought Identity Crisis was awesome but did anyone read any of the tie in books for it? It was a while ago but I kind of remember the Flash tie ins and the JLA tie ins being pretty good.

[Hekla]

I'll give the club a run. By my reckoning, I read about 600 books a year, so this'll give me something to shoot for and a way to record what I've read. Off to a decent start so far:

 

Losers 1-12 (trade format)

Sixth Gun 35-40

person_without_enough_empathy Planet 1

Miracleman (1985) 1,2

Deathlok (1990) 1

 

Total: 21

From what I could find on the net the major tie-ins were Flash, Firestorm, Manhunter, JLA and Supes. Infinite Crisis seems to have a lot of tie-ins, not sure I'll read them all.

 

One nice thing about taking a 10 year comic break gives me a huge reading list for the next few years.

OK so it's 17 now , read Jim Silke's " Rascals In Paradise " last night a 3 issue mini series , it was pretty cool a kind of cross between Flash Gordon and Casablanca ,

[Revol]

Not sure I can make 1000, but I'll give it a go.

 

I haven't got round to reading any US comics yet, so it's all Euro stuff so far:

 

1.Largo Winch #12

2. Royal Blood #1

3. Elric - The Ruby Throne #1

4. The Chronicles Of Legion #1

5. Antares #5

Just read Superman Earth One OGN and it sucked big time... It's a shame. I read 140 terrible pages, and it only counts as one comic for this challenge!

[AlexH]

I usually measure one book being 22-24 pages. It's like saying a TPB is one book when there are 5-6 stories in them. Tough call, but I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you counted that book as multiple stories.

 

[Radj4ck]

I might've to start doing that, I read a lot of indies OGN's and those take some time.

Next week i'll probably receive in the mail Bryan Lee O'Malley's new book "Seconds" and that's 340 pages of reading time right there!

A trade is a collection of comics. I read the vast majority of my comics in TPB format, and always look at the indicia to find out which comics are collected, then list those out. RN I am reading the New 52 "Death Of The Family" HC and it is a collection of 27 issues, so that's how I will list it out when it goes in this thread.

Just read the Hit-Girl Miniseries, it was passable, I only need to read Kick 3 to be done with that series.

 

I'm up to 41 comics read this year. Not a bad start...
