Hello, kiddies, and welcome back to the Crypt of Ter—I mean, everyday life. Look around and you're sure to find lots of comics that are “bound” to please you. Even those from the “Ghoul”-den Age scripted by “ghost”-writers. So I won't keep you any longer. I know you're just “dying” to get back to reading.
The 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.
