Mobile suit gundam the origin origins v11, v12 15
My first read of the new year was finishing my Gundam origins readathon. Somewhere around v10 I had a feeling than the narrative will fall off a cliff but they steered it back quickly and I think the ending was a perfect payoff (at least for me). The final scene between Kycilia and Char was just awesome and it didn't involve a single mobile suit. Also have to mention my favourite character, Ramba Ral. I want a whole series just about him, the straight forward, n bullshit but very honourable soldier with a manly moustache.
Loved the whole thing, it got me super into Gundam, building gunpla models and can't wait to read Thunderbolt too. Wish there would be more Gundam manga in english.
Superman adventures v1 10
Half nostalgia trip half discovery. Never read these, only some JL tie in comics. Reads a bit like Bronze age books with less text. Really liked it, got some Batman Animated volumes as well.
The Shadow: the death of Margo Lane 5
Solid but not as strong as other Wagner Shadow stories. Still, Wagner writing the Shadow so even if it's not amazing it's a damn good read and a must for fans of the character (all 9 of us)
MEK files v1 3
My adventures into 2000AD, step 2. After absolutely loving Slaine the Horned God this is a bit of a difficult book to judge. It's pretty early in the series so it's very crude and it's borderline 90's laughably bad macho Liefeld stuff but it has some sort of satirical edge to it although it's not that strong to make it work seamlessly. Have to get back to this later, maybe it's just Mill's early writing style that doesn't work for me.
Sweet tooth deluxe 3 15
Lemire is a weird writer for me. Based on this, Green Arrow and Essex county, I don't really get the praise he gets. He is good but feels like he is using very typical elements to build his well working, solid stories. But they work really well. So I had this been there done that feeling why I was almost crying at the end. When you know something technically is not that impressive but nonetheless it gets to you. So maybe it is?
So all in all, great book with a perfect ending for what it is.
Superman American Alien 7
Finally got around reading this really quite overhyped book. Quite liked it, especially the party issue on the boat but didn't really reinvent the character for me and it felt like that was the intention. Still, really good, recommended reading.
Total: 55
best of the bunch: Gundam but I'm a fanboy so take it with a grain of salt.
