[Dick Grayson]

Only 608 for the year. I'm reading less year over year.

I counted in 2013 for the first time and read over 1,500 Spider-Man comics that year, as well as some other titles. I tracked the Spider-Man books on the old forum in the Spider-Man reading challenge thread and when the old forums went away, I lost my tracking. I did start tracking all reading in 2014 and have kept track since.

2014: 1,682
2015: 1,172
2016: 587 (I did move cross country and didn't have access to my books for a few months)
2017: 893
2018: 812
2019: 878
2020: 608
