So, I am in the process of reading all the recent back issues from DC that I have ad for a few months, but sorely behind on. Hopefully I will be caught up by the end of next week, but I do have a lot. So, much like the recent reading lists for MU, here is what I am behind on, yet trying to power through currently (If I can keep away from that darn Birthright title that keeps staring at me begging me to get back on board and read past the 5th issue)
Batman - issues 39 through 44 -
Just finished #38 and I just can't believe I have spent the last 4 months or so reading every other creator title that I came across, instead of focusing on this great, fantastic beast of a book. Yes, I found some great new titles I am going to read, but this should be one of the first books I read each month, period. It is just that damn good. From the art, to the plotting, to the characterization. This is the book. Can't believe I am 5 issues behind. I will be finishing these off before moving to ...
Lobo - issues 5 through 10 -
Just tries the first 4 issues of this, because as you know I need another title to add
and while I only graded it a "5" (a good but not great comic. A regular fare of a book) I have been thinking more about it over the past two days or so. I likened it to Jurgens, and the more I think about it, the more I get that "feeling". It is not the same voice, but it has the same tempo as a Jurgens book. Gonna keep going and see if I will continue after the ten issues I have.
Batgirl - issues 35-43 -
The "new look" Batgirl. I have read issue one, a long time ago, but I decided to jump in and make this a regular pull, until I get to #43 at least and see where I stand. I have always loved the character, and actually got these the day I heard that Yvonne Craig passed away (well, I got up to issue 42 at that time, I think). The thought of "my" Batgirl dying made me miss this title, so I jumped in. And hey, No Gail Simone, so that is a plus. After this, I am tossing it up in the air. I may go back to Batman or finally hit those speedster issues I have been trying to get to. Hell I may stick to the same style as Batgirl and read all the issues I have of ...
Gotham Academy- issues 1 through 10
Never read anything of this. Interested. but for the next titles, if not this one, I have to read the following -
Detective - 37-44
Grayson - 9-12
Flash 30 - 43
We Are Robin - 2 + 3
Robin Son of Batman 2 + 3
Aquaman ... Hell, at least starting with the Sneak Peak issue, but how far should I go back on that one? Jimmy?
I still have -
Green Lantern 35 - 44
Green Arrow 20 - 44
Plus every issue of these to read:
Sinestro
Justice League 3000
Justice League 3001
Injustice Gods Among Us (All four Years)
So not tooooo bad. Just 16 DC titles (about 150 issues) I need to catch up on.
Sadly I spent too much time on Superman.
(As I said, it is just too damn easy to click and have these comics to read, Jeff. Be careful)
