Insomnia flared up. Saw I had the Black Label printings of the Moore run on Swamp Thing. And over 3 nights read all of the first 3 vols and halfway thru vol 4,Just got to the Crisis issue.
Ok yea I read these back when I was way to young,had to be 9 or 10 when it started. Re-read it maybe in the late 90s. But never in order since it was being published. Catching so much this re-read.
Why can't we get a long run on a monthly title with no delays?
I have said it on the show but I am loving the Energon universe!!!
@Bryan I just turned on Federative sharing on our Threads account, and will attempt to post there more often as well. We've also been posting the Best of ballot to Instagram and the YouTube Community page. In the future, I may also be able to share a Google Doc with the nominees as a link on the episode release as well.
Finally, there's a chance we might create a Discord server at some point down the road, but that's not an immediacy; stay tuned.
Mulvihill is a great colorist, she's just never been in my top five. This year I'd put Jason Wordie’s coloring on Wes Craig’s creator-owned Kaya at the top of the heap.
It's a short month, better get to reading comics now.
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.
I introduced my kids to Groo a few months ago and man I can't buy back issues fast enough for them. They have been giggling for the month of August
Abigail has probably read Death of Groo 5 times since we got it
Most recently, been picking up the Massive-verse trades and just got a subscription to Marvel Unlimited. Started with Annihilation.
Record Store Day here in the USA.
I scored the holy grail of this year's selection "Be A Man" by Macho Man Randy Savage. It's pretty fun.
I got my sidekick " Macho Boy Samuel Savage " a really fun used Pink Panther cartoon record.
My anniversary is on April 26th (15 years) and I got Heather a live album of Stevie Nicks from 1981.
Geez, this has been an expensive week. Just backed the final issue of Roy Thomas' Anthem from Heroic Publishing. There was a previous campaign that failed, so, hopefully, this one will succeed. If you're fan of Roy's, especially his All-Star Squadron, then help get this published.
