As always - there are no real rules - just keep a list of what you read - singles or trades or whatever. I bold the top 5 or 6 books and pick a "winner" each month, but that's just me.

Above all - Have fun! That is why we read these things, isn't it?

I'm in the midst of some massive tomes which is why my list is so short right now...if I'm lucky I'll polish off at least one of them before month's end!

I understand. That Elfquest book is pretty long. I'm on the second story right now. I love the first story. The tome makes me wish I would have bought those oversized trades that were everywhere in the 90s

Agreed. I'm resolved to go up to the Pinis next convention, apologize, and buy what I can afford to from them. I'm also reading the first of the Roy Thomas collected Sheena books, the 2nd Legion Showcase, and I need to start the next Vampirella. All huge tomes of wonder...I may need to pepper in a small book or two along the way.

I'm still working through superman family showcase and the Layton/Romita Ironman Omnibus. I should have had the first volume of Superman Family completed, but I quit reading comics at night.

edit: when you see the Pinis give them my apologies too.
