It's likely I'll be reading FF 59 and 60 tonight. Then, I'll sadly have finished all the FF Masterworks I currently own. The good news is I have two Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks in hand that I've not read, featuring issues 51-67 of that title, along with an Annual or two. I think in one of those Spidey Masterworks the only two issues of the Amazing Spider-Man magazine are reprinted.

Thanks to Masterworks, I'm just wading into the Captain America stories from TOS 59-81.

Thanks to Masterworks, I'm just wading into the Captain America stories from TOS 59-81. As a friendly note (and shameless plug), all of those stories have been covered in my Captain America review thread, so feel free to pop in there and add your thoughts to the discussion if you want. |

I just started reading Captain America Lives again in the Epic format. I love those colors, man.

Sounds good! I'll do that next weekend when I'm back on a desktop. Looking forward to it! |

I'm about to read FF 50, which will finish the Masterworks volume I've been reading. I'll probably stay with the FF and read the next Masterworks volume due up. That'll be the end of the FF Masterworks that I own, and I will have to make additional purchases to keep reading that title via Masterworks. I also own one more volume of Amazing Spider-Man... the one starting with issue 51. Also on my bookshelf waiting for me to read is the TOS Masterworks featuring the early Captain America stories and the first Masterworks volume of Daredevil. Plus, I have the Masterworks volume featuring the first Thor stories in JIM, and it's only partially read. I struggled reading those early Thor stories. I just didnt enjoy them at all, other than his first appearance. Yeah, I have something like 160 Masterworks volumes, and I'm constantly reading them. (Finished Jungle Adventures 3 and started on Hulk 3, with Fantastic Four 8 and Uncanny X-men 1 next.) I'm with you on the early Thors... basically everything up 'til Lee and Kirby TOGETHER is really chintzy and weak. It feels like a knock-off of the Silver Age Superman but played humorlessly and completely straight. Thor gets progressively better as it goes. My star rankings for the paperback Thor masterworks: Thor vol. 1 * Thor vol. 2 ** Thor vol. 3 *** Thor Vol. 4 **** (First Hercules story-line! So great!) Thor vol. 5 *** |

 In the process of reading complete Usagi Yojimbo due to high praise on these boards, and Dark Horse's recent mega-bundle sale.  Really enjoying them !  Hard to believe anyone wouldn't enjoy these. Light easy reading with a wonderful light Asian feel of zen poetry and action sequences complimenting each other; a ying and yang balance of eastern and western influences.  |

There are only 72 paperbacks. (I have 69 of 'em. ) I was hoping they would run forever, but no such luck. The paperbacks have basically been phased out for the (paperback) Epic collections, which are a better deal on a per-page basis. (But don't have introductions! I love introductions!) |

Light easy reading with a wonderful light Asian feel of zen poetry and action sequences complimenting each other; a ying and yang balance of eastern and western influences. Usagi Yojimbo is consistently one of the best comics going. I'm still probably around eight years behind, but with the Saga collections, I'm rapidly closing that gap. |

DH Conan from the start (if it sucks some missed Roy Thomas classics from SSC era) Don't worry, it doesn't! Kurt Busiek did a wonderful job with Conan. I wasn't too keen on his Hyperboreans, but Busiek really got the Robert E. Howard spirit right; that mesmerizing mix of realism, fantasy, and sense of history. Cary Nord also does a brilliant job, not imitating either Smith of Buscema, and he, too, brings in a great mix of realism and imagination. I miss that series! |
