The 2017 Reading Thread - THE ULTIMATE EDITION - March

I've managed to keep my stretch of reading a comic book every single day in the year 2017 going. Let's see if March can trip me up!

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.

    March Madness Edition.
    Batman Scottish Connection - I think my copy was missing 5-7 pages because there were story jumps that could only be explained that way. This one is a stay away.

    Sebastian O - Grant Morrison's odd ball Vertigo work. I'll give this one a pass.

    Hellblazer #1-6 - Classic Vertigo so classic that it still has the DC logo.

    Grass Kings 1

    In case you wondered if TS was replaced by a skrull. We are all still safe

    I do not know why I never blurbed it, but I liked Crusade.
