    Claremont's X-men run, of course… It would keep me busy with all these bubbles heavy with text.

    I've already re-read Infinity War, and I read Avengers Forever for the first time as well.

    I am reading what I actually got at the comic store this week.

    Then, I would be sorting my collection for stuff that I have not yet read.

    all these bubbles heavy with text.
    I would rather get the damned plague.

    I have pretty detailed reading lists that have been ongoing. A lot of time, they're related to movies. Ironically, my current two reading lists are essentially moot. I've been reading various Black Widow stories in honor of that movie and I've been essentially been doing a complete Claremont X-Men and X-adjacent reading list (that includes books like Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, the New Defenders, and Dazzler) through the Demon Bear Saga for New Mutants. I might as well just finish them, but I could table them if I wanted to.

    My go-to whenever I'm feeling down is Mark Waid's Captain America: Man Out of Time. I love the optimism in it and the progress of someone (Steve) going through significant trauma but showcasing not so much the trauma, itself, but rather the recovery process. It's feel good and heartwarming. It never fails to cheer me up.

    I have stated on other threads that I have started back at the beginning. This is a great time to get a lot of reading done

    I re-read Slott's Spider-Island.

    I am far from a fan of Slott's work, but Spider-Island was always among his better stuff. That happens to be the only Marvel story published in the last ten years that deals with a city-wide epidemic. Jameson in particular comes across as a surprisingly great mayor, far better than a lot of officials in charge now.

    Of course a city-wide epidemic is not the same as a pandemic. And Slott's story is driven by the gimmick of everyone in New York getting spider-powers and the virus is a vehicle to do that, as opposed to actually dealing with the plague and its effects on the healthcare system. That's something that the Spider-Man PS4 game touched on far more capably and decisively.

    Byrne's FF. Simonson's Thor.

    But I'm also planning to read for the very first time more recent series like Annihilation.

    You really want to read this kind of stuff during a pandemic?
    I wouldn't.

    Why do you think Contagion by Steven Soderbergh is in top rentals list this month. As well as Camus' The Plague. People in times like crisis do turn to art in times like this, especially since this epidemic forces everyone indoors.

    Spider-Island is the only Marvel story that imagines a city-wide epidemic so in superhero stories, it has a value.

    I have decided to put a hold on reading from the beginning for right now. I am really enjoying it but I have decided to read The Ultimate Line. I am also reverting back to childhood. My mom got me a DC coloring book and some crayons and colored pencils. It is pretty cool. It has pictures of a lot of covers to color and splash pages of heroes. The best thing about it is it had full colored reprints of covers from many points in DC history so I was able to cut them out and hang them on my wall.
