    First week or so done, and my total is 28 books so far.

    Marvel

    - Avengers by Hickman Book 3 OHC (11) - I am loving Hickman's run on both titles, but Avengers is the weaker of the pair. The pacing is a little off and the characters are not given as much of a chance to shine due to the large ensemble, but I am excited to see where the run goes leading up to and into Secret Wars.
    - New Avengers by Hickman Book 2 OHC (11) - Amazing. This book is so engaging with some really fantastic sci-fi concepts, but also superb character introductions. The cliffhanger in this book has me pumped.

    DC

    - Action Comics #993-994 (2) - This is just superhero fun. Doesn't take itself too seriously and has some wacky plots. The reintroduction of a specific side-character is also a blast to read.
    - Doomsday Clock #1-2 (2) - I wasn't sold on issue 1, but #2 definitely kicks things up a notch. As the event progresses, I'm less sold on the need for the event as a whole, but there was a lot of cool stuff in these two issues.
    - Detective Comics #970-971 (2) - This book is really starting to irritate me. I loved the first few arcs, but this current one seems lazy. Tynion doesn't write enough about things that should be seen and developed, but will happily spend half an issue with boring talking heads that serve little-to-no purpose besides regurgitating what we already know. The art is nice.

    I have amassed a pretty nifty Google Sheet for tracking my reading. I've piloted giving some other folks copies. Is this a thing many folks here would be interested in using?
    Here's my first week report... and it's a major one! I'm still working out the kinks in my tracking sheet, but hope to be able to share it with everyone next week.

    Monday Jan 1 through Sunday Jan 7 (the 7th day of the year)

    Currently 171 issues above pace for 1000 books in 2018.

    First time to try something like this.


    Hellblazer vol.9 (only the Critical mass part) - 5 issues
    Hellblazer vol.10 - 11 issues
    Spiderman Maximum Carnage - 14 issues. A waste of time. Unless you're chasing childhood memories you shouldn't really pay attention to this.
    Hellblazer vol.11 - 13 issues
    Hellblazer vol.12 - 8 issues (up to Son of Man). Paul Jenkins run (vols 9-12). Not bad, but not particularly interesting.
    The wrong place (Brecht Evens) - 184pgs, so around 8 issues. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for more artistic storytelling. Great art imo.
    Panther (Brecht Evens) - 120pgs, so 5 issues i think. Weird book. Love the art.

    -------

    Hellblazer vol.12 - Son of Man arc. 5 issues. Fun read with great art.
    Hellblazer vol.13 - 12 issues. Haunted arc is okayish, the rest meh.
    Wytches vol.1 - 6 issues. Most overhyped comic ever.
    LOW HC 1 - 15 issues. Loving every page of it. Remender's stuff is soooo good.

    -------

    Gold and Blood - 224pgs so around 10 issues. Nice art, so-so story. It started ok as an adventure.. but it developed into a historical drama about Moroccan rebellions (The Rif).
    Blue pills - ~200pgs - 9 issues. A fun read on the topic of aids.
    Fun home - ~230pgs - 10 issues. Seriously, the most boring piece of comic/gn i've read.
    Batman Noel - 112pgs - 5 issues. Beautiful art (maybe a bit over-the-top), but a dull story.
    Sweet tooth deluxe 1 - 12 issues. Awesome story. I went through it in a day, which is rare for me.

    -------

    Sweet tooth deluxe 2-3 - 28 issues. A bit less exciting than book 1 but a fresh and entertaining series still.
    Alack Sinner vol.1 - 390pgs ~18 issues. Very good gn. Looking forward to vol.2

    --------

    Brigada (Enrique Fernandez) ~100pgs - 4 issues. Awesome epic fantasy comic. Highly recommended to fans of the genre. Hope there will be a conclusion to the story.
    Tales from the age of the Cobra (E.Fernandez) ~110pgs - 5 issues. Amazing art, soso 1001 nights kinda story.
    Les petits ruissaux (Rabate) - 90pgs - 4 issues. Interesting story about old people and how life continues (if you desire it) even in the old age.
    Les funerailles de Luce (Springer) - 80pgs - 3 issues. Old people again. This one is a bit sad but beautiful also.
    Natures mortes (Zidrou/Oriol) - 64pgs, 3 issues. Interesting story inspired from the life of a mysterious Catalan artist from the turn of the century.
    L'homme montagne (2015) - 50pgs, 2 issues. Gorgeous art in this fairytale about life.
    Come Prima (2015) - 220pgs, 10 issues. Angoulem winner. Good story about two brothers on a journey home.
    Pourquoi j’ai tué Pierre(2006) - 116pgs, 5 issues. A disturbing tale on pedophilia.
    A la recherche de Peter Pan (1985, Cosey) - 130+pgs, 6 issues. A classic 80s BD, a bit dull but still entertaining.
    The killer (Matz/Jacamon) integral 2 - 280pgs, 13 issues. Good stuff.
    Indian summer (Pratt/Manara, 1983) - 174pgs, 8 issues.

    --------

    Stripoteka #1155, 1158, 1148, 1149 - Comic magazine, 60pgs each so together around 10 issues worth of comics.
    Invincible UC 1-5 - 59 standard issues + i believe around 3-4 fillers. Started pretty boring (with a few exceptions) till around the end of book 2.. After that - it rocks. Looking forward to finishing the series as soon as i get my hands on the rest of the UCs.
    Baltimore vol.5 - 5 issues. Okayish but nothing special. IMO, Mignola's least interesting title.

    ---------

    The Wake - 10 issues - Good stuff by Snyder and Murphy.
    Descender vol.1-4 TPB - 21 issues - One of my fav current SF (along with BS and Low).
    Justice (Alex Ross) - 16 issues (12 actually but they have more pages than standard ones i believe) - The art is great as far as realism goes, but the story is poorly executed imo.
    Tokyo Ghost vol.1-2 TPB - 10 issues. Nice. I just love Murphy's art, and the story is good too.
    Jeremiah integral 4 (episodes 10-12) - ~145pgs so around 7 issues. A classic. Still good up to here.
    Arctic Marauder (Tardi) - 64pgs so around 3 issues but with a lot of txt. Interesting steampunkish tale.
    Sister (Bastien Vives) - ~215pgs, so ~10 issues. A slice of life/Coming of age nowdays. A treat.
    Stripoteka #1160, 1161, 1162 - Comic magazine, 60pgs each so around 8 issues.
    Batman Ego and other tails DLX - 272pgs ~12 issues.
    The park bench (Chaboute) - 330pgs, 15 issues.

    ---------

    Notes for a war story (Gipi) - 128pgs ~6 issues
    Garage band (Gipi) - 114pgs ~5 issues
    Congo - 176pgs ~8 issues
    Hellboy - Darkness calls - 7 issues
    Hellboy - The wild hunt - 8 issues
    Hellboy - The storm and the fury - 6 issues
    Vrle nistarije (Baru) - 80pgs - 3 issus

    ---------

    Hellboy in Hell LE - 10 issues + 1 for additional material
    Satania - 6 issues
    Captain Grant's children - 7 issues (albeit with a lot of txt)
    Daredevil by Mark Waid, Vol. 1 - 12 issues
    Daredevil Omnibus (Miller/Janson) - 35 issues

    ---------

    BPRD HOE1 HC - 16 (+2 from gallery)
    BPRD HOE2 HC - 16 (+2 from gallery)
    Magasin general integral 1 (Loisel/Tripp) - ~300 pgs, 13 issues
    Magasin general integral 2 (Loisel/Tripp) - ~420 pgs, 19 issues
    The Walking Man (Taniguchi) - 160pgs, 7 issues
    Neighborhood knights - 60pgs, 3 issues

    ---------

    Dylan Dog #141 - 96 pages so around 4 issues
    Ring of the seven worlds - 230 pages so around 10 issues
    Shangri La (Bablet) - 220 pages so 10 issues
    Ar-Men, living hell - 90 pages, so 4 issues

    Need to do better than last year, had too many gaps where I didn't read anything.

    So I started this year with a bang:


    The walking dead volume 7 - 145-168. This book just keeps hitting the high notes, really well structured really well executed. So much better than the TV show
    Tokyo Ghoul Vol 1 - 9 issues. Good art but the story is too angsty for me.
    Hellboy in Hell 10 issues. Beautiful art as expected from a Mignola book and the series wrapped up well.
    Skal vol 3 - beautiful. Quick read but such a great book.
    Marie of the Dragons volume one - 3 issues. Beautiful art but boring execution of an interesting story, probably won't carry on with it.
    Blacksad volume one - 2 issues. Beautiful. Good story. Too short an execution of the tale. It would have worked better at 2-3 times the length to really let the story breath. #


    Total:
    50 issues,

    Collections

    Shaft - 6 issues. Impressed with the story and the art work, really enjoyable. Will pick up the second volume.
    Madman #1 - 2 issues. Odd but very good. Maybe one day I'll read the whole run.
    Paper girls vol #1 - 10 issues. Very interesting. Not what I was expecting after I had picked up the first issue. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
    Darth Vader omnibus - 31 issues. A lot of fun, great character development and overall story arc. Will pick up the Star Wars main title soon.
    Red Hand - Twilight of the Gods - 7 issues. Odd but interesting. Beautiful art and the use of two writers didn't help with the flow. But Overall a good story, not a must buy, but if you see it on sale worth picking up.

    Single Issues
    Deadly one issue. Boring but pretty
    Dear Irons #1 _ meh but such beautiful art
    The vessel of terror #1- 1. Okay story. Good art that's let down by poor colouring. Also the flashback didn't work. Almost seemed shoehorned.
    Heroes for hire 2010- #1 okay but nothing special

    "week" 60 issues
    Total 110

    So I started this year with a bang:



    Tokyo Ghoul Vol 1 - 9 issues. Good art but the story is too angsty for me.

    Blacksad volume one - 2 issues. Beautiful. Good story. Too short an execution of the tale. It would have worked better at 2-3 times the length to really let the story breath. #
    I really liked when they were in Tokyo but any time they went back to that over the top 2000AD inspired world with the maniacally cackling cyber villain I was checking out. I know some people love these satirical techno distopias but they just do nothing for me.

    As for Blacksad if they do the stories any longer it would take an eternity to be drawn
