The 2015 Reading Thread - March

Torchsong

I fell into a bit of a slump the 2nd part of February where I was reading several HUGE tomes of books and finishing none of them...but even still I got a lot read! Here's hoping March will be better...

Bump back to the main page...

I've nearly forgotten that I have a marvel digital subscription and comixology. I love it.

Haven't posted much because I'm in the midst of one of those massive Elfquest compendiums...almost through it, though I'm taking my sweet time to savor those inks... :)

Same here, but I'm going throught Knightfall saga. Some of it is a hard slog, some good stuff there too though.

I'm workig through the first atom showcase which is great. I am falling in love with silver age dc.
And

the first invincible compendium; I've finished the first 8 issues. Invincible is a really good series

luke52

I'm also getting through the first Walking Dead compendium. Must admit it's not all its hyped up to be. It's ok, but not great.

mwhitt80

I've been reading through the 2006 Moon Knight series on the Marvel app. I remember sort of liking it back when it came out. It is pure incomprehensible garbage. What made me think I found some enjoyment in this series?

I'll keep reading a few more issues to see if I can remember what I saw in the series.
Edit: I tried to do it, but I'm done with thseries 2/3's through 13.

What did you think of Leaving Megalopolis @fredzilla, did you notice CGS man?

I totally forgot about that! I went back to see if I could locate him and I think I found him with a bunch of other heroes fighting that big mouthed monster with a bunch of teeth that made the hole in the city street. He was the one on the bottom left with the headphones? I missed the Kickstarter and didn't know anything about the book other than some buzz about it when the Kickstarter ended. It was much darker than I was expecting, and I really didn't have any expectations. It was a good story and I wanted to read more once it ended. I'd look into getting the next volume. How about you?

Yup, that's him.

Much the same as you. I got this as part of the kickstarter and got a very nice HC as part of that. I haven't read it for some time now but remember enjoying it and wanting more once finished. There have been rumbling of another volume, so here's hoping!

The sons of anarchy and big trouble in little china are way better than they should be.

bump-bump-bump it up

for the end of the month additions.

and in an odd turn of events I have not completed a physical book this month; everything was digital. He types from under his fallen stack of to read books.

luke52

Hmm... Now the tough choice of my book of the month.

I read a lot of good books this month too, and one that I wish I could unread.
