Just finished Absolute planetary 1 & 2 and it’s as good if not better than i remember, now on to Absolute Preacher book 1, which isn’t as good as I remember but then again I do think Ennis is a one trick pony, and that trick grew thin years ago

I just started reading the Before Watchmen omnibus.
Before I started to re-read Preacher I probably would of said that, I have a few Ennis books, The Boys, the Punisher stuff, actually, thinking about it, it’s been a while since I read it and it may also disappoint me after all this time, but I’d go with hitman being his best stuff, when he’s given free reign, it’s as if profanity and gruesome deaths take the place of a good story, being tied to the DC proper (somewhat) forced him to concentrate on character and story, and it was much better, be nice to get a Hitman omni

Hellboy Volume 11: The Bride of Hell and Others TPB
I finished reading The Star Wars Lucas Draft Deluxe Edition Box Set. It's comprised of three larger than the regular OHC sized books. The first contains issues #1-8, the second sketches and layouts which was issue #0 and the third a beautiful cover portfolio. The story itself is ok and could have done with a little bit better dialogue at times and jumps a bit, but then again they were basing it on Lucas's draft and he's not the best when it comes to writing dialogue. The art by Mike Mayhew, in particular the detail on the faces is quite beautiful. It's a little "jerky" on some of rhe action scenes, though. Overall, a very nice boxset and s must for Star Wars fans.
Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Volume 3. Out of the first 3 omnibus volumes, this is my favorite.
The Brood Saga, the Magik mini, the Wolverine mini, God Loves, Man Kills OGN, & Rogue joining the X-Men. All fantastic stuff!
Will start on Harrow County Library Edition 1 tonight. Heard good things!

B.P.R.D: Plague of Frogs Volume 1 TPB
I just finished the Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu: Out of Time TPB (Shang-Chi). It was solid read.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
So, I am reading 3 Collections right now at the same time. Is that a normal amount to read?
I’m currently reading:
-X-Men Epic Collection Volume 2: Lonely are the Hunted- I have to say it’s better than Volume 1. Took me months to finish volume 1. I’m not a 60’s fan.
-Spider-Girl: Complete Collection Volume 1: OMG. I can’t believe how good this is. Why have I not gotten into May Parker before? And this is coming from a non Spier-Man fan. It’s a fantastic series so far. Highly recommend.
-New Teen Titans Volume 4 TPB: great series of course. Really enjoyed 1-3 (3 being my favorite so far). Wolfman and Pérez are magic.
Favorite Characters: Wolfsbane, Storm, Psylcoke, Beast, Feral, Tempo, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver
Favorite Titles: X-Men Red, Legion of X, Marauders, Hellions
