Hey, June, don’t let me down. You have fine comics, now go and read them.
The Rules
Log everything you've read this year. Just edit your existing post or you (and we) will get confused trying to keep up. At the end of each month, I'll start a new thread and you can pick a "winner" from your favorite books. You can focus on just trades, or just write about the good stuff you've read.

February Winner: Daredevil #1-2
March Winner: Mister Miracle (King)
April Winner: Spider-Man: Life Story #2
May Winner: Exorsisters Vol. 1 - just a really fun book with an interesting story and beautiful art that is almost at odds with the subject matter. The art style is cartoony and fun while the story is a lot darker. But that kind of made me love it more. Lots of tough competition this month: Fairlady #2 was even better than #1, Batman LKOE was a great opening and frankly a nice counterpoint to the current Batman run, FNSM was a pretty touching story too.

• Reprints of Charlton Comics. Wiki is claiming these were reprinted in the 80s but the price point makes me think 1977 in the indicia is accurate.
A nod to an overrated, boring music catalogue?
About two weeks ago, my post of June books here disappeared. A couple times I had updated it with my "books read" only to have the post say it was under review, something I had never seen before. In fact, it was this last time that it said under review before it disappeared all together. I know I didn't hit the delete post option.
Moderators, is my post possibly sitting in the pipeline somewhere? It might be a pain to recreate it. I had a lot of books listed.
Thanks.
