The 2020 Reading Thread — The "May-be We’ll Get Back to Work This Month, May-be We Won’t" Edition

I don't know about the rest of you, but I read more comics last month than the past three or four months combined. I slowed down a bit towards the end, but I’m going to try to keep catching up on my backlog of comics while I'm stuck at home. Hope you’re all doing well!

Rules
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, or just write about the good stuff you've read.
