Not really in the mood for being thankful right now. Maybe it will come around before the turkey is served. In the meantime, I'll be over in the corner reading some comics.
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.

October Winner: Friday #4 - This book (digital first, but the first trade just dropped this week) from Ed Brubaker and Marcos Martin is even more amazing than the A-List creative team suggests. “What happened when Encyclopedia Brown grew up?” I’m not sure you could given a one sentence pitch that would grab me faster.
