OK, I threw out my original list of favorite comics and rebuilt a list by thinking back to my life of reading comics and the milestones in my reading along the way. It's a completely different looking list.
And now has 30 entries on it.
Back to the trimming.

You've got two weeks to think about it, cw. Don't bail yet! Cei-U! I summon the reassurance! No, no, it's okay! :D If we're going by actual single books/floppies, some of my faves, I just do not have in that form. I can sit it out, get more reading of individual singles that I have, and maybe participate next year. :D Unless you want me to just pick from what singles I actually have and have read? Of course you should! |

I've got five for my list thus far. I'm focusing more on the actual physical copy having meaning to me than I am looking at favorite stories. The two facets go together sometimes, and sometimes they don't.

Not that 12 Favorite Stories wouldn't make a good theme one of these years...
Cei-U!
I make a note!

My original draft was basically "12 favorite stories which fit into a single issue". My new draft is 12 comics I remember reading and loving. These lists will not have much overlap. |

Who will know if your loving an original, a reprint or one issue of an Essential? |

But do we post scans or just name the issue and post about it?

You can copy his format but you are safe naming the issue and describing what it is that makes it belong on your 12. I usually post the cover and some scans for the issues but it's not mandatory. |

Oh, holy Hell.
I'd do better to read more thoroughly, huh?
I probably shouldn't read between work breaks.

I'm a big Avengers fan and my early list is filled with that title. I might have to have a self imposed rule of no more than 2 from the same title.

I'm pretty sure I have done all-Avengers lists for Christmas before - I believe my penciller/inker duo list was all Avengers artists. |
