1000 books in 2018

[Balakin]

Another new year, another new thread but the same old challenge!

The goal, just like in the previous 3 years (damn, we are doing this for 3 years?), is to read at least a 1000 comic book issues in 365 days, starting today!

Keep us updated of your progress and if you fancy write a few lines about what you've read, what you liked and disliked, just to keep things interesting and informative (even if you just pick your favourite and least favourite of your batch).

Usually a 22 pages comic counts as one issue, in case of other formats just divide it with 22. If you feel like your 48 pages long French album is really wordy and takes just as long to read as a 120pg american tpb then feel free to count it as 3 or even 5 issues, nobody gonna shout at you, it's all for fun.

Happy reading folks!

As I commented on the 2017 thread before it closed for this one, this was my first full year of reading comics and collecting after starting back collecting mid 2016, mainly Omnis and HC’s.
I knew i couldn’t do 1000 issues, like many of you here, because of mainly running our business, but instead I wanted to track what I could do. It was only 117 issues.
But, a girl can dream for a bunch of free time for 1000 issues!
(Personally seeking to double 2017’s number)

*I'd forgotten about those old threads. Fun to read some of my comments back then compared to how i feel now about the material

[UltimateTy]

I've only done it once so

2017: 1050

[Balakin]

I've always stopped counting after a 1000 but I think I've finished a bit later every year, first year July then August and now maybe September? Although last year I got back to doing more creative stuff so I don't mind if I do more of that instead of just reading.

[Brewman]

Bumping my list from page one as I will not squeeze in anymore. I didn't think I was going to make it most of the year, but beat last year and even squeezed in some prose!
