As part of Spooktober, I just started on the Hellboy and the BPRD 1952-1954 Omnibus and finished the 1952 part. I have read almost everything else in the Hellboy universe and know already how the grander story ends but it's nice to come back to this world.

From Hell Master Edition - Three chapters in and wow this is really captivating. I read the notes after each chapter and it really enriches the reading experience. I love the muted colours that have been added as I had seen the B&W version before and I think that the (rather limited) colouring that has been applied really helps to make following the plot easier.
This will take me a while as it is rather dense but so far I'm loving it.
The new Batwoman Omnibus. Fantastic! Great art and amazing use of panels.
I'm starting Man-Wolf the Complete Collection for my Halloween week reading. Probably not finish it till sometime in November.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
I was confident the 3 Fraction volumes would have nice big print runs, and be readily available for a long time, so I skipped them. Bad idea.
It's very rare to see Marvel reprint Complete Collections, but I'm also hoping for an omni because then those Fraction books will drop in price on the secondary markets.
Deadman : Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love - I was so excited to read this when it was announced. A horror/romance story set in a gothic mansion? Yes, count me in! Unfortunately, it's just an alright romance story with very few horror moments.
The Hands of Shang Chi Master of Kung Fu Omnibus Volume 1 - better than I had expected - I think mid-70s onwards is from where I can read comics without eye-rolling constantly. The art is great and very dynamic and so far the story is quite interesting. But I do hope that the spy-aspect that people talk about is going to be ramped up soon, at the moment the constant fighting is a bit repetitive. Hope they'll mix it up otherwise 4 omnibus will be a bit too much. What is absolutely mind-boggling is why on Earth they went with this extreme yellow skin colour, especially considering that there are also Asian characters with a more natural skin colour (and the fact that SC is supposed to be of mixed descent). This is one aspect where I wish they had applied some recolouring. Looks really bad and calls to question what they were thinking.

Doing a read through of American Vampire (I'm on Vol. 3) and Akira (just finished Vol. 1 about to start vol. 2).

I just finished Sandman: Seasons of Mist and I am going to continue and read Sandman: A Game of You
First time!
The first book was a little slow and I was wondering what all the hype is about but the minute he went to hell to find his helm and Lucifer wanted to keep him because dreams had no power in hell; Morpheus's answer floored me and I was hooked.
I cannot wait to go through the entire thing and I am so happy that DC released the box set it makes it so easy to find and read.
