The 2018 Reading Thread - The Extreme Ultimate Edition - April

A tradition unlike any other! Time for the April reading thread.

The rules as laid down by the great and powerful Torchsong 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. 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.

January Winner: The Amazing Spiderman Omnibus vol 2
February Winner: The Walking Dead Compendium vol 2
March Winner: Classic GI Joe vol 5

    @nweathington How is The Highest House? It looks interesting.

    Love it. Only two issues in so it's still early, but it's off to a great start. I go into more detail in the What Did You Like This Week thread.
