1000 books in 2022

[Balakin]

Here we go again!

Happy new year and welcome to the 2022 edition of the 1000 books challenge!

The goal, just like in the previous years, is to read at least a 1000 comic book issues in the coming 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 favorite and least favorite of your batch).

Usually a 22 page comic counts as one issue, in case of other formats (Euro comics, manga, etc) just divide the page count with 22. That said, 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 and use this thread to keep track of your readings.
Same goes if you think you will read way more than a 1000 issues.

Happy reading everyone!

I haven’t hit 1000 in a couple years but have been happy with quality for the most part.

Bad news: I'm moving from Japan back to America so my physical collection is going to be out of my possession for 3-4 months to start the year.
Good news: I still have my tablet and 2600+ single issues/TPBs in my Comixology account.

Time to get rereading!

I'll be keeping tally again. I managed just over 1300 last year, we will see what this year brings.
