A community within a community, this is where interested participants log what they read each month so that we can examine each other's selections and discuss them. While there's a whole other thread in this forum for discussing classic comics you've read, the conversations here pertain more to other members inquiring about or commenting on what you are reading (and vice versa). More than anything else though, it's just darn fun to keep track of what you've read for a year and keep tabs on what your fellow classic comics posters are reading as well! In previous years, the emphasis was placed on how many comics you read. This is still an interesting number to track for a variety of purposes, but the end goal shouldn't be quantity over quality. There are no "winners" in this thread. Heck, I read a lot less than most each year, and I still keep starting the darn thing up again every January. The previous years' reading clubs: 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014. Guidelines 1) Please reserve a post in this thread where you will continue to update your list. Whenever you read something new, edit your original posts to reflect this change. 2) Do not post any other replies to this thread until January 5th. Let's give everyone a chance to reserve a post on the first page of the thread. 3) When calculating your total number of comics read for each month, a single comic book is generally considered to be a modern age 20-25 page comic book. Any book of a significantly longer length can be counted as such (i.e. a comic containing 70 pages of CONTENT, not including adds, could be counted as 3 issues). 4) Comic strips may be counted. I generally count 40 standard daily strips as 1 issue, but it's up to you to count them as you see fit. Obviously, Little Nemo's Adventures in Slumberland should be counted differently than Garfield. 5) Several of us counted comic-related novels and pulp stories in our lists in previous years. In the past, I have tended to count anywhere from 8 to 15 pages of text as a single comic book issue, depending upon text size and complexity. Looking forward to seeing what you read! You may reserve your spots in the thread NOW!! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ January Absolute Carnage: Immortal Hulk Amazing Adventures (1950) #1 Blondie Comics #15 Classics Illustrated #124 (War of The Worlds) Defenders: Best Defense Fantastic Four #233-234 Hulk (2000) #13 Immortal Hulk #7-27* Immortal Hulk: Best Defense Mandrake The Magician #1 Star Trek #400 Star Trek Free Comic Book Day 2023 Treasure Chest (v. 13) #2 Uncanny X-Men #146-147* w/ Amber Walt Disney's Christmas Parade (1963) #1 Walt Disney's Donald Duck #257, 263, 273, 277, 280, 282, 284, 285, 287, 288-299, 301-304 Wasp (2023) #1 Wonder Book of Rubber

I had a big month due to the holidays and whatnot. I mainly focused on Eisner-nominated books from 2014 and Marvel books from the DeFalco era, but I also worked on finishing up a few runs that I had started previously. I did grew wanderlust a bit, but I'm trying harder this year to not get carried away with new titles.
I finally began reading BKV's Runaways, which is very similar in tone to Paper Girls except more superhero-driven. It's highly entertaining and one of the more original Marvel books I've read in a while. The Wicked + The Divine has stood head and shoulders over other 2014 books thus far. I'm almost completely up to date with Kingdom, not long to go now. The Drifting Classroom continues to be an excellent horror manga that I'm slowly chipping away at.
I was inspired to read Red Rocket 7 after watching Allred's interview on Cartoonist Kayfabe -- if you like UFOs and aliens, Mike Allred's cartooning and rock 'n' roll history, it's definitely work checking out.
I finished the Hate regular series thanks to the Christmas poll. I prefer the early issues where Buddy is living in Seattle, myself, and I'm not so sure the move to make it an alternative comic where there's continuity and things actually happen made the book any better, but there was some shocking moments in the later issues, and man does Bagge draw the best sex scenes in all of comics. Those things are incredible.
Motor Girl was a minor work by Terry Moore and at first it seemed a bit silly, but it's Terry Moore so it ended in the most moving and beautiful way.
On the negative side of things, Sachs and Violens was the dumbest thing I read all month, even dumber than the Punisher biweekly storyline, which was fun its own way. Gulacy's art was disappointing in his LOTDK story. Metropol is kind of annoying. The art in Alias is ugly, and in Hitman it's plain bad. I'm assuming Hitman gets better because after two issues it's undercooked by Ennis' standards. Rocket Raccoon ended up going nowhere. Not sure why it was even nominated for an Eisner. That's a lot of negativity. Sorry!

Pretty good month for me... finished up the FF Epic I'd been reading, and got through (and really enjoyed) The Nemesis the Warlock collection I got a bit ago. I didn't love my experiment into Love and rockets, but glad I gave it a shot. I really liked the U-ray as well.. Hopefully at some point I'll be able to get some Blake and Mortimer. Next up is X-Men epic vol 6 (which I'm actually about 1/2 way through) which is the lead up to Dark Phoenix. I also got the fancy 'Full Metal' Editions of about 1/2 of Full Metal Alchemist, so those will be coming soon too

127 to start the year, not a bad launch.
I've continued my dive into Rebirth Era DC (in particular the current Nightwing run that's been collected, Batman, 'Tec & Flash) that I started late last year via hoopla. Nightwing is as good as folks here have been saying. Moved a little further in my Savage Sword read through, started a read through of the short lived Adventures of the DC Universe, and kept up with most of my new stuff. Enjoyed most of it, the King Batman stuff is a little uneven, but not bad.
Let's see what February brings.

Started off with 112 for the month.
A mixed bag of titles as I'm working my way back to being semi-caught up on my monthlies and reading a few classic series.

In an about-face to my usual habits, I ended up reading more post-2000 books this month than older comics, with the only pre-2000 thing being a single issue of The Sensational She-Hulk from 1989. This was also probably the weakest comic I read this past month, although that judgement likely has a lot to do with my dislike of the title character as a concept.
For highlights, I'd say for artwork Marini's on the Scorpion; for writing maybe Cristin's on Agence Hardy, and for originality Abirached's overall work on Piano Oriental, which however I have not yet finished.
