I'm about to embark on a "themed" read which may turn into a written review ... Sci-Fantasy.
So I'm going to be reading every Ironwolf comic from DC, every appearance of Monark Starstalker in the Marvel U and the 1980's mini-series Conquerors of the Barren Earth.

I finally found time to read the entirety of ZENITH by Grant Morrison & Steve Yeowell. It's the previously uncollected classic 2000AD rereleased in four oversized hardcovers. It's weird how little Zenith is involved in much of the plot. At times, it's more about the consequences of the world they live in, rather than his life and times.
The script is a proto-Morrison politely aping Alan Moore. Yeowell's art goes through weird transitions where it looks like his current stuff, gets to his gritty 90s stuff and ends up again in the proximity of his current style again.

I'm looking forward to the sci-fantasy review! The best themed read I ever did was a Marvel Cosmic tpb epic from Starlin's Warlock to Thanos Imperative. It was awesome. |

As for what I'm currently reading, no comics for me for the foreseeable future. My iPad broke and I don't want to buy a new one right now. Maybe Santa will be good to me this year... Anyway, I've decided to attack Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I hear it's great and have no idea what happens. I'm on the 2nd Dark Tower book and am loving it. I did some research and found this website that details all the books even tangentially involved in the series. honkmahfah.blogspot.com/2012/04/dark-tower-suggested-reading-order-for.html?m=1I'll read everything on that list except for The Stand, which I've already read and have a vivid memory of. |

I am on day 97 of a self-imposed "Read a comic that I never read before every day for a year" challenge. I just picked up the 4 issues of X-Men Archives, so I plan on eating that this week.

I just read Meteor Men and it was great, I strongly recommend it.

Just read the second volume of Thorgol, a comic translated from France. I can't tell you how much I dig this series. A baby from the stars crashes to earth and is raised by vikings. Kinda like Superman but much cooler.

I've decided to read a big chunk of Spider-Man. Starting with the JMS/JRJR stuff and working my way to now. I remember loving that first JMS arc. I was reading all of ultimate spider-man that was a tremendous series. i didn't get my fill of the web head so i started the main book right before superior spider-man. i couldn't put it down all the way through parker's return and then through the spider-verse and now i'm close to current. it was a lot of spiders but great reading to be sure, now i'm trying go catch-up on the mind frak that has bee new avengers and the main avengers book since hickman and remender decided to blow-up the multiverse. am i alone in feeling that they seemed to build to something and then didn't really know how to finish it? |

Oh well, on to the next ALL NEW, ALL DIFFERENT event. thank goodness, my comic acumen isn't as high as many here so I was worried that I just didn't get it. It all started out so good, the Uncanny Avengers, New Avengers, and Avengers were all interesting, but it just got sooooooo weird. Secret Wars is a good reset I suppose, and you're right that ALL NEW, ALL DIFFERENT (but IT ISN'T A REBOOT OF THE UNIVERSE right???) |

Hell yeah man! I loved the beginning of the straczynski stuff, but towards the end it got a bit rough (one more day). People say that brand new day was fantastic, and while I definitely think it's better than one more day I don't think it's early straczynski/jrjr good. It's got its up and downs, some stories I love and some (freak) I can definitely leave. Fun times though, I'm super excited to get to the superior stuff, I'm in the late 500s now. |

I just finished the Fraction & Aja & Hollingsworth (& Pulido & Wu) HAWKEYE OMNIBUS. It still holds up. I hadn't read the final issues until now. The end is a bit of a "ooohhhkay, so that's it?" wrap but there was only one real way it could have ended. The art is so terrific and the book is packed with work-material like layouts, thumbnails, color art samples and other such analysis by those geniuses. It's a great little book. And the paper is SO thin, it's 500 pages and 24 issues and it's a thinner book than the first Fraction IRONMAN 18-issue collection.
