I'm reading Sex Criminals right now. I wish there was an adaptation, then I could count it!

Re: The DVDTalk Comic Book Challenge thread, year 2020
Didn’t want to jinx myself too early (so doing so now I guess), but I’m sticking with my minimum one physical issue and one appearance of Swamp Thing per day.
Still struggling with the best way to track my reading. Keep hand written notes. Have a spreadsheet to track reading that I started in December. Also have this and another comics forum (Classic Comics) where the post formatting is mostly similar, so plan to post in both for accountability. But now I’m also planning to finally buy CLZ to catalog my collection, and it likely has a reading tracker too perhaps. Paralyzed with too many options as usual…. |

Re: The DVDTalk Comic Book Challenge thread, year 2020 and beyond
I didn’t want to post until I knew I had accomplished at least close to my goals, as I seem to fail my reading goals every year. Notes and piles are still a mess so a detailed list is not soon coming, but I seem to have accomplished my four main goals for the year so far.
1 - read one issue/appearance of Swamp Thing a day 2 - read one recent physical single issue a day 3 - complete my usual monthly checklist of ~30 genres/publishers/formats that I collect or subscribe to and want to read monthly to try to ‘get my money’s worth’ 4 - almost by default, completing the above three goals should put me at 100+ comics per month (OGNs and large issues are counted as one comic per 20 pages) |
