Popular Post Norrin_Radd Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not sure I'll be able to read 1000 comics this year. But I've never read Cerebus, so I've decided to start by reading the entire series from 1-300 this year. ttfitz, alexanderjk, Raze and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LudaToke Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Does anyone find that reading in this manner takes away from the flow and joy of it? It feels like it would be a different experience that just sitting, unwinding and reading what I enjoy every day. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is to enjoy what you are reading and if you want keep tabs on how much you have read in this thread.

No race or pressure, which more than likely explains why I don’t ever get close to the 1000 comic target.

It does take a little of discipline in the keeping track of what you've read but I've been journaling my reading since 2017 so the record keeping is second nature by now. Rather, it is exciting as I spend time looking for my next read and getting excited about going to the next issue of a series or starting a new one I've always wanted to try or revisiting one I have not read in a while.

No one is really keeping score. Spoiler But if they were, Scrooge would win. Reminds of one of my favorite quotes from Animal House. "Don't think of it as work.

I belong to a couple book clubs, and having a deadline of our meeting time doesn't affect my enjoyment of the books. This is no different than that.

Popular Post Norrin_Radd Posted January 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2022 I've been enjoying reading a lot of Cerebus. Just finished issue #30 which ended with a bang. So I'm 10% through so far... Love the art and storylines so far. It's interesting that Dave Sim had a plan to write Cerebus through to 2003 from early on. He mentions going to #156 in the letters page of issue #12 before it switched to monthly then to issue #300 in issue #19.
