The Ugly:The Boys 55,60.
I enjoy the series but the violence is over the top disgusting. Which is exactly the point. |

God help me I am addicted to reading comics, it's not even midnight on the second and I have already read 31 comics in August....

alright so our central air had gone out when I got home from work and it's been too hot to do anything but sit in a chair in front of a fan and read today, since the HVAC guy won't be here until tomorrow but still...

6 comics in July, lowest in years (maybe forever). Spent 10 days in Seattle, and moved from Gatineau to Ottawa, so no time at all to sit and read.

I just checked and I read 62 comics last July. This year it was 69. I guess it's the summer month where everyone is spending time outside and stuff.

I started reading 4 comics a day , before I turn on my computer on in the PM. This way, I get the reading out of the way. I found that I was using too much time on the internet at the expense of other obligations and for my reading on the CCF club.

I got nothing read in July which is my busiest month of the year at work... well... not counting August!
But I did read Dreadstar up #31 which is very solid. Great stuff.

I just passed 100 read for this month. I read a run of Superman by Busiek. It was enjoyable.

I finally tracked down a copy of Batman Adventures #25 today! I've been looking for this one for some time, but I grabbed it up when I came across it at my lcs today. For those not in the know, this is the first appearance of Superman in the Bruce Timm Batman continuity and it's extra fun because unlike the way he looked when he'd debut in the cartoon, here he's rocking the long hair and Lex has a red mane as well just as they did in the regular DCU

Newbie here. I'm from Paris but moved nearby Stockholm in Sweden about two and a half years ago. I started buying american coic books in 91 at 14. I say buying as I was irregularly buying french or swedish magazines compiling US/UK material, but it wasn't until 91 and my discovery of the pre-Vertigo stuff that I jumped fro regular euro stuff to comics. As I live in the middle of nowhere, I have my old parisian comic shop puting aside the new stuff for me every week, which I tend to visit every 5 months on an average. I also buy old stuff online and in various LCS I encounter through my travels (I'm a musician). I have about 12500 comics here at home, so obviously a lot of it remain yet unread, more to discover for me  Oh, and I don't buy collections, almost ever, only floppies and OGN. So here I start with this months few reads (please let me know if i entered all this wrong and how/where to edit) : Hellboy : They That Go Down To The Sea Ships Hard to come buy little hellboy story, nicePenthouse Comix : 27, 28, 32, 33 My collection is now almost complete. those later issues can't compare to the early marvels of this title, ye some good stuffNorthlanders : 9, 10 I really like Dean Ormston, so these were some of the few issues I yet had to read and had interest inVertigo Pop : Tokyo : 1-4 Nice ok story, gorgeous Seth Fisher artwork, will probably revisit!Comics Journal : 263 Quite good Ed Brubaker ITW and Cerebus essayFantagor : 3, 4 I'm a huge fan of Corben, so it was nice to read those in their original form, with some short stories/gags exclusive to these early publications.Horror In The Dark : 1 also an old Corben anthology I was missing, very niceGrimwit : 2, 4 More old CorbenAnomaly More old CorbenOne Green Tree Educational Jim Woodring comicsJupiter's Legacy : 4, 5 Beautiful, Akira like, not very original past it's high concept premiseSuiciders : 1, 2 Much better than I anticipated.October Faction : 1 Kinda regreted oordering it, but it was quite alright in the end THB : 69, Ashcan Early Paul Pope gretanessGrendel War Child : 1-10* Still as good as ever |
