It's Valentine's Month - and if there's a better way to truly test the love you have with your significant other, I don't think you can find it outside the pages of a comic book!
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.

Jonah Hex Two Guns Mojo (trade) - Vertigo. I'll reread these Hex stories until the cover falls off my trade. I absolutely love the weird west books and Tim Truman is the best.
Final Crisis #1 (floppies) -
Final Crisis Requim (floppies) - If it wasn't for added deepthroat to Libra's plotline this would be a waste.
Final Crisis Rage of the Red Lanterns (floppies) - This book was garbage and had no connection to the story. I wish I didn't find this in the dollar bin.
Final Crisis #2 (floppies)
Final Crisis Rogues Revenge #1-3 (floppies) - Boy I enjoyed this one, and it had bearing on the story. First it showed what was really happening with the flash, then it gave deepthroat to Libra's plotline, and finally it was an awesome Rogues story.
Final Crisis #3 (floppies)
Superpowers #1-4
Scooby Doo Team up - #20 Space Ghost.
