1000 books in 2015

[ultimate jezebel]

Are you guys talking current comics or older ones?
I can easily breeze through a ton of current comics, yes.
But old ones where there was much more dialogue? No. I take my time with older comics.

Yeah, older books were packed with words....check this Spidey page, the last panel has over 100 words. Modern books sometimes just have 2 panels on one page with one word balloon

current comics lol. Those silver and bronze age comics have so much dialog in them its ridiculous.

[Cold Water]

I burn out after more than 2 silver age or certain bronze age issues. It's my only weakness.

See!?
That's what I am talking about. If given the proper time, I can go through 4 silver age issues in one night. But then I'm done.
It takes me about as long to go through one silver age book as it would 5-6 current books. Maybe more.

How the hell does anyone have time to read 15 issues a day???
I WISH I had that much time.
Good for you!

In a day off, I can make time.
Some days.

Talk about cramming, that's nearly 150 words.
Weather you count Spider-Man as one word or two, or count high-school as one word or two.

lol I read 4 books last week, injured both arms previous weekend using a post driller and found holding up an Omnibus was very tricky. I'd normally read an Omnibus in an hour, but I'm a fast reader, and if I'm really enjoying a book I read slower and slower to make it last.

An omnibus an hour??

I'm not a fast reader, and I like to stop and look at what is happening.
Also, I'm easily distracted and need practically silence to really read.

I can do a good 15-20 issues in a day (modern) if I'm devoting the time to it. Like a nice lazy Sunday. But I also concur that it's easy to get burned out on Silver Age stuff because of how wordy it can be. That doesn't make them bad stories, it's just not what I'm used to.

I can do a Dark Horse omni in a day with relative ease. But a Marvel Essential containing the same number of issues can be soulcrushing.

Anyways, I'd like to do an update post. I just started reading Walter Simonson's Thor.

6-700 page Omnis (PunisherMax/Alias sized) an hour seems to be my default speed. Modern books definitely read much quicker. Atm it's the height of summer here and long evening sun is perfect for reading outside, I've read a lot this month.

I hardly read during the summer. Once the weather gets nice, I'm out and about. It's the winter/colder months that I buckle down and read indoors and get comfy with a few books.

Damn, that's just over 2 minutes an issue. I think I can manage 3,5 minutes per issue if the issues were very dialogue-light but then I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.

[Cold Water]

Today I read:
Silver Surfer #10 and #11
Tales to Astonish...er...#78?
Flash #7
And three more Creepy stories out of the Richard Corben book.
So, what's that, 53 total now?
