I never read... (Comic Book Edition)

Sorry to steal Trevor's thunder, but I figured we could swipe another idea from elsewhere on the forum.

For me, I've started Kingdom Come twice but haven't finished it.

I took Marvels with me on a weekend getaway and enjoyed the first chapter, but haven't picked it up again. And I bought it a second time because I forgot I already owned a beaten-up library resale copy (so that's the one I can carry around to places, while the nice one I can read at home--which makes it even lamer that I haven't finished this thing).

Great idea David! I'm sure we could find a couple more to swipe from other forum areas too. I'll look tomorrow at work if it's slow.

I've owned Kingdom Come for years, think I bought the floppies as they came out, but have never opened them iirc.

I loved Marvels and just bought the sequel(?).

I got Absolute Sandman vol. 1 but haven't opened it yet.

Alan Moore Swamp Thing--I think I have some random mid-series TPB.

I've never read Kingdom Come. Or Infinite Crisis, for that matter.

Re: I never read... (Comic Book Edition)

Anyone not read:
Watchmen
Dark Knight Returns
Claremont/Byrne X-men, particularly the Dark Phoenix Saga
Maus

I'd be surprised, especially at the first two.

I see someone already admitted to Sandman. I have Justice, in both single issue and even Absolute formats, and haven't gotten through it. I don't think I've read the entire run of Miracleman, and I really hope that changes sometime soon with some legal way for me to read them. I've never read the entirety of Sin City. Never picked up Transmetropolitan or Preacher.

I've never read Maus. Or Sandman. A coworker gave me the Absolute Sandman and I had it on my desk for months, but just didn't have time to read it.
