Kudos on all the comics! And always nice to see Usagi going strong, I'm near the beginning but collected a bunch so far.


Here's my latest update:

The Dragon: Blood & Guts 01

The Dragon: Blood & Guts 02

The Dragon: Blood & Guts 03

Saga 02 (#20) (11/4/23)

Saga 03

Saga 04

Deadpool 05 (90s Kelly run)

Saga 05

Saga 06 (11/12)

Saga 07

Saga 08

Saga 09

Saga 10 (#29) (12/3)


So I'm at 29 comics for the year, once again got distracted by games, movies, TV, life stuff, a bit of the ol' fatigue etc. But I've still got a month to get some good comic reading on, and I've been slowly getting back into the habit.

I also do a goodreads goal for books, including comic collections, so it's nice every 6 Saga issues etc gets me a book on there as well. Plus I can finally return the stack of trades a friend lent me forever ago. Long live comics!

[Sapper_Unknown]

Fell behind these last two months. I read 61 comics in October and 66 in November to bring my total to 1230.

Kudos guys! Always epic to see these comics numbers, and cool variety of titles.

Here's what I read this month:

Saga 11

Saga 12

Saga 13

Saga 14 (#33 for the year)


So I was a bit light this year, my goal was over 10x that many. But! I'm happy for another shot at it, and it's always great to have an excuse to read more comics.

[Sapper_Unknown]

Happy New Year, everyone!

December was a bigger month for me. I wanted to go into 2024 on a fresh slate, so I focused on reading every recent release that was in my backlog, and also finish an omnibus I was picking away at.

I finished the month with 155 books read. List can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...40&single=true

Credit goes to MRP for surpassing my total in November. I know this isn't a competition, but it definitely motivated me to read more this month.

[chicainery]

I ended with 540 issues in 2023. I spent a lot of the year studying for the CPA exam, so that took a lot of my time. Now that I'm done studying, one of my new year resolutions is to read more comic books in 2024.

I did wind up easily blowing by 1000. I crossed that threshold in August. After that my record keeping got pretty sloppy. Some of the stuff at the end is from after August. But while the total number is actually higher than this shows, the 1184 here is more than enough to pass the challenge.
