Still heavily biased towards books at the moment, and I have lying around that I want to read so... Next year should be better as I have a bunch of WW coming in and once I get the last few TWD HCs, I'm reading through that.

[B]Previous read count: 539
Flash #119-121[/B] (3) – A whole new way for Flash villains to return from the dead.
[B]Impulse #20 [/B](1) – Impulse learns to play baseball, the hard way. “I see you scored.” I just realized issue 21 isn’t in my Impulse collection, though I own it. It’s mixed in with my Legion of Super-Heroes comics, due to a crossover. So I’ll be skipping to #22, and saving #21 for when I read the LSH stuff later.
[B]Flash Plus Nightwing[/B] (1) – One shot crossover special with Cthuhlu-like story, but told in Flash’s more light-hearted tone, which doesn’t quite work.
[B]Impulse #22-26[/B] (5) – Impulse meets his mother, and goes back to the 30th century with her, in what turned out to be a Legion of Super-Heroes prequel. Fun storyline.
[B]Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1-2 [/B](2) – Two part crossover special pairing Wally West and Kyle Rayner with Alan Scott and Jay Garrick. Not bad. Not great, but not bad.
[B]Flash #122-126 (5)[/B] – Flash gets kicked out of Keystone City, Major Disaster strikes his new town of Santa Marta, CA, while his old Rogues return from the dead in Keystone
[B]Green Lantern #67 (1)[/B] – Part 2 of the 2 part first meeting between Kyle Raynor and Wally West. Read part 1 of this in GL 66 a week or two ago, but just picked up part 2 at my local comic shop.
[B]Flash Annual #10 (1) [/B]– The year of the “pulp” style annuals. This one was romance themed. Kinda cheesy, but it worked ok.
[B]Impulse Annual #2 (1)[/B] – Old west themed. The Max Mercury backup story was the good part.
Wonder Woman Plus Jesse Quick (1) – One shot special. I had this one mislabeled. It was in with my Wonder Woman collection, when it should have been in the Flash box. Despite WW’s major role, she’s just a guest star in this, as Jesse deals with the aftermath of the Dead Heat! storyline in Flash 108-111 and Impulse 9-11. Excellent story by Christopher Priest.
[B]JLA #1-7 (7) [/B]– Morrison’s run from 1997 starts with a strong 4 part story arc, then a good single issue, and then a decent two parter that introduced Zauriel
[B]Impulse Plus Grossout [/B](1) – One shot special featuring a character I like and a character I’ve never heard of. Apparently, they used 4 of these “Plus” issues as a way to introduce readers to the characters of Scare Tactics. Not a particularly exciting story. Adding it to the sell stack.
[B]Flash #127-129[/B] (3) – Underworld Unleashed followup story.
[B]Wonder Woman #125-127[/B] (3) – Diana dies and ascends to become the goddess of truth in the Greek pantheon. More like a soap opera than a superhero story, with all the tie ins to Genesis and ongoing storylines that I don’t know about from earlier issues I missed.
[B]Impulse #27-29 [/B](3) – Fun one shot issues, with Impulse learning some responsibility and the personal relationships of the characters developing, along with the introduction of Arrowette.
[B]Flash: Secret Files & Origins #1[/B] (1) – Ok, issue, similar in format to earlier Secret Origins and Who’s Who comics.
[B]Speed Force #1[/B] (1) – Introduction of Cobalt Blue. Terrible Jesse Quick story.

Been a couple months since my last post(although I could have sworn I posted last month). Here's the latest list:
171-172. Absolute Carnage 1-2---- I usually hate Carnage and Cletus Cassidy. Cates has elevated the character from a crappy serial killer trope and transformed the symbiote universe into something truly terrifying through amazing mythology and world building. Amazing
173-176. Amazing Spiderman 26-29---- Spencer brings in some Deadly Foes goodness to the mix. Spidey and Boomerang's relationship should be a bad idea, but Spencer is making it entertaining if not totally believable.
177-178. Avengers 22-23
179. Collapser 1
180-183. Daredevil 2-5---- Didn't care for the tone of the first issue, so I stopped reading. Decided to revisit it due to how much I've been enjoying Zdarsky's other work and am glad I did. Excellent take on Daredevil and a powerful study of street level heroes in general. Love it.
184. Dark Age 1---- Excellent premise!
185. Flash 73
186. Future Foundation 1
187-188 Guardians of the Galaxy 7-8
189. History of the Marvel Universe 1
190-191. House of X 1-3----- Marvel is finally doing something new with the X-men after spinning their wheels for at least a decade. I'm not a big fan of all of what Hickman is doing here( I feel he's inadvertently diminishing Mactaggert as a character by turning her into a macguffin), but I respect it and am fascinated with where this goes.
192-193. Immortal Hulk 22-23
194-195. Invaders 8-9----- I will keep hyping this series for as long as it's published. I love what Zdarsky is doing with Namor.
196. Marvel Comics 1000
197. Once and Future 1--- Great first issue!
198-200. Powers of X 1-3---- I love this version of Nimrod!
201-203. Punisher 12-14---- Love the interaction between Fisk and Zemo!
204-205. Sea of Stars 1-2----- Fun sci-fi goodness!
206. Silver Surfer Black 2
207. Sonata 1---- Another great new world to play in!
208. Spiderman-Life Story 6---- Best Spidey story of the 21st Century
209. Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen 1
210-212. Thor 11-13
213. Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Special 1--- Got this from a grab bag. I loved the IG-88 story!
214. Power of the Atom 1
215. Groo (image) 3
216-219 Kitty Pryde and Wolverine 1-4
220. Damnation 2
