Bought it on impulse. It's a rare occurence that my shop gets extra copy of TPs and this one was there and I thought I'd give it a try.
It's quite good. Not sure I'll get the next one though.

I still haven't finished it. It's very confusnig, but I suppose that's kinda the idea. I think TPB 2 would be in order to make up my mind, but I'm not sure whether I'm going to get that one.

I got a long box from a friend of mine who's going to South Korea to teach for a year. He gave it to me to hold onto and read anything I wanted to while he's gone, along with a small box of trades. Just went thru the long box and found a lot of the following:

DMZ
Y the Last Man
Hellblazer
Casanova
various Batman minis
Spider-Man: the Other issues
Invincible
Grounded
Freshmen
Fear Agent
Walking Dead
Desolation Jones

and a few other things. I've only just organized them by letter and haven't figure out which issues of those books. I know it's not a complete run on things I'd like to read like Y and Walking Dead, but I know he handed me vol 2 and 3 of Walking Dead as well.

Anything in the little bit I mentioned taht jumps out to anyone as worthwhile?

Also, he has all but 2 issues of Alex Ross' Justice series, which absolutely breaks my heart because I've been wanting to read it for a very long time. issue 9 and 12 are absent.

Well he had DMZ 1-13 I think, but Y the Last Manhe has like 35-55, Invincible is about 25-40, and Walking Dead is about 17-37. As for Desolation Jones it's about the first 8 issues I think. I'll probably still go through and read them all, but I'm sure I'll be lost in a few parts. I wrote down everything I want to get thru and read and it's a fair sized list. I won't need to buy major trades for extra reading in the near future.

Pretty much, like books, there are some comics series I bought that I never got around to reading. I'll say 75% of original conent. 65% of the actual stuff after trades, double and stuff to collect.

I have also read about 75% of the books I own. Some shit you just never get around to. I also have a decent amount of books, 750 or so.

Like those 2 walking dead comics, I had them in trades, but I'm been plugging away at getting the entire run of walking dead since I quite like it, and I prefer single issues.

I will not however read them, are they are worth quite a bit and cost a fair bit, and I can just read the trades. Same goes for some silver age comics I own.

It is rare I buy a comic knowing I will not read it. Maybe 1 every six months.
