What titles, runs, or individual issues are you re-reading this month, and are those books holding up with each re-read?

I've been revisiting DC COMICS PRESENTS(currently 35 issues in for what will be a full run); classic JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA(the Len Wein period, currently up to # 110); and Wein's run on BATMAN, which began with # 307(I'm now up to # 312). DCCP, as I mentioned in the 'Favorite Team-Up Comics' thread, shares the top spot for me with Gerry Conway-era JLA. The more mature, 'Marvel-style' characterization, introduced by Denny O'Neil, and refined by Wein, before being perfected by Conway, was the hallmark of the JLA's '70s adventures. Wein's handling of Batman laid much of the groundwork for Conway and Dou Moench well into the 1980s.

No time for rereading just now, as I'm up to my eyebrows in 1941 issues of the Fiction House titles.
Cei-U!
I summon the dreary slog through antique mediocrity!

I'm currently engaged in a re-reading of The Adventures of Tintin for my forthcoming review thread. I'm currently half way through the third volume, Tintin in America. Very pleasurable it is re-visiting these cherished stories too.

I recently read Gary Gianni's first Monstermen serial "Silent as the Grave". Those were some amazing back up stories, I wish Mignola would go back to including stuff like that in his books.

I'm revisiting two titles and they are:
All Star Squadron with Thomas and Ordway & Grant Morrison JLA Run of which I have the complete set.
I loved these books and never, ever get tired of reading them and they offer great variety and fun.

I'm part of an Avengers fan group online that has been together for about 20 years now. Sadly, one of our members passed away recently, and in memory of him, we are having a communal re-read of the Kooky Quartet era of Avengers. So I've recently re-read Avengers #16-18, which are not great! #16 is interesting because it's so offbeat and unexpected, but still not actually that great. #17 is just plain bad. And #18 has some good character work and interaction between the team members, but the actual plot is stupid and boring. Luckily, I know things get a lot better next issue, so I'm just glad these stinkers are behind me.

It's the first of issue of the Avengers as I think of the Avengers. |

I honestly didn't know anyone was still making romance comics. Impressive. Might have to check some of this out.
