Many of these it's I want to read more of as I have sampled a volume (or a handful of single issues) or two but haven't gotten around to the rest. Others are just I haven't gotten to yet. An * indicates more of

Lt. Blueberry
American Flagg!
Echo (Terry Moore)
Tuki
Valerian and Laureline*
Thorgal*
Corto Maltese*
Love and Rockets*
Kirby's Kamandi
Ms. Tree*
Nexus*
Cerebus*
Incognito
First Kingdom*
Wicked & Divine*
Paper Girls*
Fables*
Tintin*
Asterix*
Blacksad*
Concrete*
IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Gottfiedson's Micky Mouse


I will often sample first volumes of long running series to see if I like them, then stat purchasing volumes as I can get them, reading when I get a chunk of the series put together. For a lot of the European stuff, hoopla has a lot of stuff from Cinebook, so I sample a lot of first volumes to see what I like and then dive deeper into the ones I like when I get a chance. So I have read a volume or two of a lot of "renowned" series to see if I like them and want to do a deep read, but there's so much stuff on my to read list, on top of stuff I want to revisit, that it takes some time for me to come back around to it. I haven't really included anything I haven't at least sampled on the list. Even the stuff without an asterisk, I have at least read a single issue of, or skimmed an extended preview of.

March Volume 3
Ex Machina
Blankets
Fables
Brubaker Daredevil

Those are books I have read maybe 1 or 2 trades and I want to circle back or they stay on my shelf.

I bought the comic book adaptation of Nevermore and Mark Waid's run on DD. I haven't read either yet but I will.

I’m 4 years behind on reading my floppies, from divorce and 2 moves. Need to finish Immortal Hulk and dive into the Hickmann X-Men, as well as Nightwing and a few others. I’m dumb and should stop altogether but I’m not quite there yet with comics…I did decide to try reading 3-4 a day to get to that 1000 comics in a year thing, we’ll see…

-Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

I've read a few of these in the last couple of months:

-Saga; thank to the Compendium #1. I loved it
-Brubaker and Phillips: Pulp in hardcover and The Fade In in single issues. I loved both of them. TFI is a clear example on how to do floppies: no ads, only at the end to show more of the tandem's work. Cool articles as extras and a letters page. Amazing

I might have you all beat for I have a comic that I've wanted to read for 58 years! It's DC Showcase 55 Solomon Grundy's first silver age appearance, I won't go into detail but it had to do with a childhood trauma concerning a stay in hospital when I was 6 years old. I have read thousands upon thousands of comics since but I won't open this one and I don't know why? I should add that at the time I thought Grundy was the Frankenstein monster.
