Something needs to change. I realize that I am in trouble with both "ways" of my comic reading. For one, I just don't read a lot of comics in a week. Sure there are weeks when I can knock out 13 or 15 or so, but on the norm I may get about 10 comics in a week, give or take.
And that brings me to problem two and three.
- all the books I try to grab to set aside for later ... it is becoming a problem. It is just a list that is getting bigger and bigger. I never seem to get "back to them" as often as I need to. Heck, I still have a huge amount of Gideon Falls and Saga to read, not to mention the image titles I am waiting to end so I can start them over (Like Wicked and the Divine, East of West, Papergirls, etc ...)
- all the new books I am excited to read, again, on average, in a given week is larger than the amount I read. So that just adds to my "I need to read" pile. Hell, there are now books that are suggested to me by others, that were never on my "to read" list in the first place, that are pushing some of the other books I really wanted to read aside. Books like one of my current favorite reads for example (Bone Parish) I had never heard of, or forgot all about at the very least, but after being told to try it, it is another of those that are pushing my reading time away from other books.
Not to even get started on the much older runs I keep trying to get back to. Remember me trying to read Master of Kung-Fu? Batman Tales of the Dark Knight? the most recent one, Legion of Super-Heroes?
I just don't know how you read so much Jeff. How are you doing it? I have to know
Do you have a time machine that stops time? Do you actually live in a different dimension where the clock has 18 numbers? Is that it? Do you live in a 36 hour day world?
Man, I am struggling over here.
But ya know, I guess that is a good sign. No, a great sign. There are so many good comic out there that I just can't read them all. That is frustrating as hell, but also very, very cool
Anyway, here is what I got so far. Six issues. I still want to try and get to Bone Parish #'s 10 and #11, Criminal #'s 4 and #5, Dark Red #4, Reaver #1 (another book pushed on me) Red Sonja #6 Toyo #5, and Punk Mambo #3 (with #4 hitting this week), and that is JUST the non-big two books I want to try and get to. There are more that I want to read, but I just want to try and get caught up on these ... and I'm not gonna make it because there are still Marvel and DC books I want to try and get to.
History of the Marvel Universe #1 - A fine look at ... well, the Marvel U
A 6 issue history title.
House of X #1 - Oh so good! So much to take in. So much worth the money!
Action Comics #1013 - Things are going, surprising for Red Cloud
and we get a tad more Leviathan!
Justice League Dark #13 - Well, there are making me question the Fate of Fate now!!! Love it!!
Redneck #22 - More Evil stuff ... and no, not that kind. Okay, well, yeah, that kind as well, but ...
A Walk Through Hell #12 - Speaking of evil. Don't know what to say about this second part of the story. I enjoyed it, although I do need to reread the damn thing to get the full impact (I think I missed a little something), but yeah, stuff is ... well, the title became more true to its name than I thought it would. But hey, it's over now, so one less title a month to try and make room for!!
