It's very common for me to read a comic book in a given day. I don't feel like writing elaborate reviews or starting threads for each title. But I think it would be cool just to log it in with a brief comment about whether I liked it or not and why. Sort of like what we sometimes do in the Comics Clubhouse thread, but this may or may not be brand new comics.

Feel free to post your own if you finish reading a comic book.

Today was LCS day, so I read three (more than a normal Wednesday for me).

I read three comic books:

Fairest #1 -- this new Fables family book looked really good, and its looks weren't deceiving. Gorgeous art by Phil Jiminez, and an Ali Baba start. Recommended.

Night Force #1 -- Not so sure. There were several groaning moments at the bad writing by Wolfman, but I'm interested enough in the title to maybe try again. I like the original Night Force back in 1982.

Fatale #3 -- still good. A little hard to follow what is going on, but a little more detail fed out this month. This is a genre mashup of noir, mystery, and demons.

Finished up reading Sweet Tooth Vol. 4 last night. Very good and getting better. Peoples should be reading this. As has been said before, it's sort of like Cormac McCarthy's The Road mixed with Goat-boy.

PunisherMax #22

Series Last Issue. Solid. Fitting end to Punisher. Though not as good as #21 which had a moment to give me chills.

Now I want to read Goat-boy.

Oh, I was reading that series until my I took my Middle Earth detour. It was very good.

I finished Umbrella Academy: Dallas yesterday morning. It was pretty cool.

Reading Charlton's "Scary Tales" series, sort of a House of Mystery type of short story anthology series, hosted by a redheaded vampire. Lots of fun, with great art by Ditko, Zeck, and others.

You have to tell which ones you've finished, by issue number. (Or if it's a volume of a trade that's finished).

Issues 1 through 8. There are about 40 issues, which I intend to read all of (except the reprints), so I didn't feel I should limit it.

Stop ruining my fun with your "rules". There, I said it.

This is not the "What are You reading thread."

This is to log in when you've finished something. I sometimes nurse things for weeks, even months.

If I dip into an Essential, Showcase, etc., I'm going to tell the issue number and comment on whether the story was good.

RULES!!!

If these were new publications, why didn't you post in the other thread?

I hate your thread. I'm going back to my comics thread, without all your Byrne-ian lists of rules and regulations. My thread puts the fun back in reading comics.


Oh nevermind. I'll stick it out. I read issue 47 of the Ostrander/Mandrake Spectre run. It was part of a longer arc about the Spirit of America, which I am finding tedious.

Do you want me to? The idea was a running thread each time I finish one, whether old or new.

RULES!!!

Did someone break their Jib?

I ruined Jay's thread.

All I did was ask you for more information, about the issue numbers, etc.

You got me in trouble with Linda.

I just read Ostrander/Mandrake Spectre #51, guest starring the Joker and Batman. I know Joker and Batman were greatly overexposed in the mid-90s, but the characters are well done, and the story only slightly contrived (enough to give Joker and Batman a reason to be in NYC). Good fun! I'm so glad that dull Spirit of America arc is over.

Jay wants the cover date included in all posts, Jeff.
