Hellboy TPB's Vol 1-8

113 books so far this year.

Spider-Man Life Story: This was a decent read, but certainly rushed in places. But I guess that was kinda the point - to shove a lot of history (retelling of the history, really) into a short series. Some really goofy parts in the resolution. I read this for my first ever comic book club. We'll be discussing this book tomorrow night.

 

Our (7yo and I) journey through The Legend of Zelda continues. Still way too juvenile for my liking. We are taking a break to read something else that caught his eye. We have finished 5 of the 10 manga in the box set.

 

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus 2 - Our (10yo and I) continue to chip away at this. We've taken a few breaks to read other stories. I really dislike the annual issues. Days of Future Past is up next in the omnibus. We are currently reading X-Men Days of Future Past - Doomsday, which is a modern run up to the classic story. So far, I enjoy it.

122 comics so far this year.

Dawn of X TPB #10: Still very interesting overall. Excalibur is so bad.

 

X-Men: Days of Future Past: Doomsday TPB: This was a fun addition to the classic story. Art was not to my liking.

I've managed to get a bit of focus and get some reading done, albeit not much. I've mainly read the new Green Lantern series by Jeremy Adams (#2 was so hard to get for some reason, none on eBay, had to rely on a lucky find at a random Melbourne comic store I'd never heard of), which was pretty decent so far, to be honest. Just wish it had more Kyle. 

Omnibus-wise I've read Aquaman by Geoff Johns, and the Green Lantern Corps omnibus volume 1. Both were great reads, although through no fault of its own, GLC duplicates a decent chunk of material from the first Johns Green Lantern by necessity, like the Sinestro Corps War, and the Recharge miniseries. Recharge was a breeze to reread, but I found SCW to be a real slog. Go figure. It's one of my favourite stories too. 

I've just started the Moon Knight by Huston etc omnibus, which is stuff I love, so it's a breeze to date. Another great time ahead of me. 

And that's my attempts at moments of normality in what is a very dysfunctional time in my life. I'm up to 818 books read for the year. 

Take care everyone. Best wishes to you all.

Top Ten 1 to 12

As is often stated online; Hill Street Blues with super-heroes.

Several story arcs seamlessly linked together, one of Alan Moore's best series, lots of background Easter eggs to look for.

2024 total = 238
