The 2017 Reading Thread - THE ULTIMATE EDITION - January

Okay, apparently this monster I've started will not die, and seriously it is kind of fun to do if you're into it, so what better jumping on point than this new year?

Rules are simple: Log everything you've read this year. Just edit your existing post or you (and we) will get confused trying to keep up. Bold the stuff you really dig. 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 (which is usually what I do), or just write about the good stuff you've read, or go completely nuts (like I plan to this year) and log EVERYTHING you read.

Yep, you heard that last part right. This year I'm going to log EVERY SINGLE COMIC I READ. I've set a goal to read at least once comic every single day in 2017. Even on vacation. Fool's errand? Let's find out. Set your own rules or projects, but let us know what you're reading this year!

    Finally I have finished Cable & Deadpool Omnibus. This was a really good comic that made a very good transition over the last 10 issues. I would recommend reading this series via MarvelU app if you are subscriber
