1000 books in 2019

[Balakin]

Let's continue the tradition of this thread for...wow, 5 years now!

The goal, just like in the previous 4 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.

Feel free to adjust the volume of the challenge depending on your circumstances. If you think you can only manage to read 300 issues this year, you are still more then welcome to participate. Same if you think you will read way more than a 1000 issues.

Happy reading folks!

Glad that we are continuing this tradition, it's one of my favourite threads to visit. I am going for more conservative targets for 2019, given my rate in 2018 and the fact that I've just started a PhD. I will also not be buying much this year, which means that I will get to revisit some of my favourites, which is nice I also intend to keep a slightly more in depth record of my reading.

[Conan the Accountant]

After sad showings of 169 in 2017 and 127 in 2018, I am determined to hit 365 this year.

On my reading list: Conan (1970's Marvel and recent Dark Horse); Wonder Woman (1980's George Perez); Buffy (Dark Horse season 8); Batman (No Man's Land & Hush; plus some Golden Age, Grant Morrison omni if I get to it).

I love the Tales to Astonish Sub-Mariner issues.

It has been highly entertaining so far. I have all 8 MMW and am in the middle of a marathon read. Colan on art was solid and I am now into the Buscema issues which are just stellar.

[Mormegil]

It has been highly entertaining so far. I have all 8 MMW and am in the middle of a marathon read. Colan on art was solid and I am now into the Buscema issues which are just stellar.

I've held off on the masterworks because i'm hoping for an epic collection that will grab all his SA appearances. But i didn't find MMW vol 1 for $11 in paperback because that first Colan arc is so good. Almost feels like a sword and sorcery comic.

There are some hits and misses in his series (i'm only up to #35), but it made me a Namor fan.

[Enigma]

January has been a good start to 2019 for me, in terms of reading at least. I'm definitely on more of a book run than comics/manga just now. I also have some Diablo 2 tournaments coming up in March, so I won't have much reading time.

The best read of the month were definitely The Goon and Aquaman. First time reading those and The Goon is amazing and like Aquaman a lot. Never read any Aquaman before and I'm glad I bought the Omni. Other great reads this month: ASM, The Source, Immortal Hulk, Sink, Gideon Falls. Everything was good to be honest except Spawn Kills Everyone Too that was kinda bad and God of War that is not that good..

January update:

Decent start to the year I’d say, I’m currently on track if I keep up this pace.

- Daredevil by Bendis Ultimate Collection Book 1 TPB (19): Throughly enjoyed this, great analysis of Murdock’s character coupled with a gripping story. The art was bleak and fit the book perfectly, really set the tone. Very engaging read, got through it all in about a day (very quick for me). Will finish up the run and then probably check out the Miller and Brubaker runs.
- Spider-Man: Big Time Complete Collection Vol. 2 TPB (17): Bit of a mixed bag, but when it shines, it really shines. Didn’t care for much in here besides the Spider-Island story but that was fantastic. Pure comic book fun while also discussing who Spider-Man is at his core. The Big Time era contains a lot of middling shlock, but it sprinkles in some fantastic Spidey stories, too.
- One-Punch Man Vol. 2 (8): Another great instalment. This is such a fun parody and a very refreshing read.
- The Flash by Mark Waid Book 3 TPB (15): Probably my least favourite chapter in the Waid saga thus far, but it’s hard to follow up The Return of Barry Allen. I particularly loved the moments where Waid sets Wally against a clock and just has him outrun a threat: it’s very simple but also quite engaging. I’m also a fan of how Wally doesn’t seem completely omnipotent with his powers, he can still be defeated and it just makes the story more fun when Wally isn’t unbeatable. Issue #91 was also phenomenal: really cool depiction of what Wally can do with his powers (akin to how Waid explored Daredevil’s powers in his Daredevil run).
- The Omega Men TPB (12): A great read. Started a little slow, but it reached some crazy heights. Solid, introspective sci-fi that hooked me. Would recommend. (I also really liked the covers, very cool)
- The Immortal Hulk Vol. 1 TPB (6): I’ve heard a lot of hype about this story and it definitely delivered. Ewing and Bennet have such a strong command of structure and it shows. Engaging, well-told and overall a very satisfying read. Excited for volume 2.
- Annihilation Complete Collection Vol. 1 TPB (17): This one is a collection of stories of varying degrees of quality. I didn’t care much for the prologue or the Super-Skrull mini, I found the Drax and Silver Surfer minis pretty good, but the Nova mini was amazing. It got me so invested in the character of Nova and I am very keen to try more Nova/cosmic stories. Will hopefully get volume 2 soon.

Monthly Total: 94 books
Yearly Total: 94 books

Favourite for the month: Flash #91 or The Omega Men

[Gotham Thrasher]

Okay! Didn't think I was going to partake this year because all hell is about break loose for me personally but I thought I should At least challenge myself to try to read one comic a day...at the very least I can enjoy that one thing that day! So here we go again!

Action Comics #1006 : still don't know what to make of Bendis' run on the super books but I'm enjoying them much more than I thought I would so I guess that's a plus.

Freedom Fighters (Vol. 3) (2018) # 1 : an interesting start to the new series which sets up the history of Rebirth Continuity Earth X.

Hawkman (Vol. 5) (2018) #'s 5 - 8 (4 issues) : loving this series! Venditti & Hitch are on fire with an interesting plot, great art and also loved seeing the classic team up and interesting with Ray Palmer/ The Atom! New origin is an interesting addition to the Hawks mythology. Totally underrated series!

Champions (2019) # 1: hmm I wanted to like this and while I enjoyed Cummings art. Unfortunately, I found the writing lacking substance with little characterization and no plot. Shocking cliffhanger at the end but unfortunately I don't care enough to come back.

Justice League Dark (Vol. 2) (2018) # 3, Wonder Woman and Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour # 1, Wonder Woman (Vol. 5) (2016) # 56, Justice League Dark (Vol. 2) (2018) # 4, Wonder Woman (Vol. 5) (2016) #57 and justice league dark and Wonder Woman the witching hour # 1 (8 issues)

Young Justice (Vol. 2) ( 2019) # 1: really loved this book despite Bendis and it's great to see the gang( Tim, Bart and Cassie) back together...as for the missing party ...no Spoilers lol.

Martian Manhunter (Vol.5 ) ( 2018) # 2: ok Orlando's writing was little clearer here . His best scenes are the ones with J'onn and his human partner. But the flashback scenes this issue were better then last issue because Orlando tuned down the weird way J'onn and his wife were speaking. I find Orlando does this a lot when portraying aliens in his comics and I find it annoying to be honest. Rossomo's art is what it is. Ironically again , I thought it was best in the scenes with J'onn and his human partner.

The Punisher (2016) #s 218 - 228 , The Punisher (Vol. 12) (2018) #'s 1 - 5, ( 16 issues): A nice return to form for Frank in the more then capable hands of Matt Rosenberg! A spiritual successor to secret Empire and with Sam Jackson/Nick Fury acting strange in both this and Cap by Mr Coates below. One of the better titles coming from Marvel Comics along with Cap , Venom and Immortal Hulk .

Captain America (Vol. 8) (2018) #'s 4 - 6 ( 3 issues): wow this is my first time reading something by Mr. Coates and I don't know if this is usual style but he seems to be channelling Brubakers Cap with the political intrigue and what seems to be spiritual sequel to secret empire in the sense that we are basically dealing with the fall out of that series. Leinel Yu's artwork is the best it's been in a long time...perhaps because they aren't double shipping this series . This along with Venom are the best two marvel comics I 've read since Brubakers Cap. There I said it.

Catwoman (Vol. 5) (2018) # s 4 - 6 (3 issues): a fun yarn with great story and art by Joelle Jones dealing with the fallout /lack there of of Selina ditching Bruce at the altar and not wanting to deal with it, moves to a new city , where a corrupt governors wife wants to get rid of Catwoman , fearing that Selina will put a stop to her nefarious affairs.

Return of Wolverine (2018) # 4: i still don't know where the series is going by that being said i actually enjoyed this issue a little more despite the fact that very little happens.

The Green Lantern (2018) # 2 - 3 (2 issues): Meh. I really want to like the series but it's been 3 issues now, and i still cant tell what morrisons trying to say. However Liam Sharp s art is to die for. For those of you like me, who find morrisons work to be hit or miss, I think this is more final crisis then JLA

Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 5) (2019) # 1: Wow! I haven't read the guardians of the galaxy in a long time and i picked this up because of Donny Cates Venom. I think i'm hooked by all the new interesting things that there are going to be in the series plus hopefully we some Darkhawk! Also it looks like Mr Shaw has kicked up his art game!

Infinity Wars Prime # 1 , Infinity Wars (2018) #'s 1 - 6 Infinity Wars Iron Hammer #s 1- 2 , Infinity Wars Soldier Supreme # 1- 2, Thanos Legacy # 1 , Infinity Wars Weapon Hex #'s 1 - 2, Infinity Wars ArachKnight # 1 - 2 , Infinity Wars Ghost Panther #'s 1 - 2, Infinty Warps #s 1 -2 , Infinity Wars Sleepwalker #'s 1 - 4, Infinity Wars Fallen Guardian # 1 , Infinity Wars Infinity # 1 . (28 issues) :

After reading the new Guardians of the Galaxy, I felt like I had to go back and read the infinity Wars now despite its flaws and the fact that Marvel's checklist/ reading order is actually wrong, I did enjoy it. Gerry Duggan has a great handle on most of the characters and Deodato doesn't miss a beat in terms of art on the main series. I found that some of the tie ins were hit and miss but I did enjoy Soldier Supreme which was the combo of Doctor Strange and Captain America, iron hammer which was the combination of Thor and Ironman and the Sleepwalker Mini. I did feel like part of the of the reason I I found this here he's flawed was it did seem like it existed only to get some characters and story Beats from point A to point B and to set up the new Guardians of the Galaxy and the 10 realms storyline over in Thor all in all if you can get these issues for cheap then go for it.

Supergirl (Vol. 6)(2016) #'s 25 - 26 (3 issues) : I've been loving this totally underrated series. Andreyko and Maguire have put Kara on an interesting cosmic adventure while investigating why Rogol Zaar destroyed Krypton and This last issue had The Omega Men! 'Nuff Said!

Marvel Knights (Vol. 2) (2018) # s 1 - 6 ( 6 issues): Ok. I didn't know what to make of this series but you had me at Donny Cates and Matthew Rosenberg . I really liked the character interactions between a amnesiac Frank Castle as a cop and Bruce Banner and Matthew Murdock an Electra and Black Panther coming together to try to find out what is going on in this universe. That was really fun and interesting. Also the fact that there is a character thatCates himself brought back in his doctor strange run is also interesting however you have to question whether it was real or not. The same can be said for a mysterious Dead character who it'r not clear whether this person actually returned or not. These uncertainties along with the question of this mini being in continuity or not is never answered and that is what ruined this otherwise good and fun series.

Man Without Fear (2019) #'s 1 - 5 (5 issues) :
Now I don't know what to make of this series either. I did like it. Maybe because I read all 5 issues together . Beyurths art is really good. The thing i didn't like was that it was too similar to what we saw happen in the marvel Knights series with the use of a ghost of a certain dead character and also the fact that Matt was hallunicating yet again after that series and the end if Soules 'run. I guess they're really trying to push the fact that Matt was really injured and that it took its toll. Anyway looking forward to the new Volume of Daredevil next.week!

Justice League Odyssey (2018) #'s 1 - 5 (5 issues): totally enjoying this just for the interaction between Cyborg, Jess, Starfire and Azrael alone ! Williamson, Briones and Sejic are doing a phenomenal job!!


Total issues for the Year so far : 89

Didn't get to read as much as I liked but considering my life and it blowing up in my face lol; not bad...better then I would have thought. Thank Satan for comics....🤘🏻😈🤘🏻



Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 5) (2018) # 1 - 11, Annual # 1 (15 ssues): wow ...just wow! Uncanny X-Men marvels premiere title is back! I really enjoyed Brisson, Rosenberg s and Thompson's story and the art surprisingly meshed well together despite the different artists!

Daredevil (Vol. 6) (2019) # 1 :
Ok. Matt is still dealing with his injuries suffered in the previous volume . I really like the fact that they didn't just sweep that under the rug . Also Really liked the noir style art. We'll see where this goes.

Young Justice (Vol. 2) (2019) # 2 : I liked this for the interaction between Cassie and Zeus and Emmanulea Lupachinos art. Not much else happened which is typical Bendis. Liked that ending though.

The Green Lantern # 4 : Wow. I actually enjoyed this issue despite its usual flaws. The Art was as usual amazing.

Avengers (Vol. 7) (2018) #'s 7 - 13 (8 issues): ok this is the Jason Aaron I know. Much better then the opening arc. Better characterization and action. Still needs some work but getting there.

Justice League (Vol. 4) (2018) # 14 - 18 , Annual # 1 ( 7 issues) : I loved this series of issues and was surprised by all the hate This series seems to be receiving. It's not with out it's flaws but if you are a fan of the Hawks and Martian Manhunter and the DCU in general I think there s something for everyone here .

The Immortal Hulk # 6 - 10 (5 issues) one of the best series that Marvel is putting out right now. Definetly the best Hulk series for me.

The Immortal Hulk The Best Defense # 1

Green Arrow (Vol. 2) (1988) # ' s 7 - 20 (14 issues) continuing my semi - annual re-read of Grell's run and "gritty" take on Green Arrow (one of my all time faves). As always, continuously surprised by how well this run still holds up after all these years. Pure classic.

Return of Wolverine # 5, Wolverine Infinity Watch # 1 (2019) # 1 (2 issues)

Man and Superman 100-Page Super Spectacular # 1 (5 issues) : yet another Superman origin story but this time by Marv Wolfman.
