For those who started this in the old thread, it should be easy enough to cut and paste your old info here:

oldforums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?479565-Classic-Comics-Book-Club-2014

For those who didn't, now is a great time to start. Here's how it works, from shaxper:

A community within a community within a community, this is where interested participants log what they read each month so that we can examine each other's selections and discuss them. While there's a whole other thread in this forum for discussing classic comics you've read, the conversations here pertain more to other members inquiring about or commenting on what you are reading (and vice versa). More than anything else though, it's just darn fun to keep track of what you've read for a year and keep tabs on what your fellow classic comics posters are reading as well!

In previous years, the emphasis was placed on how many comics you read. This is still an interesting number to track for a variety of purposes, but the end goal shouldn't be quantity over quality. There are no "winners" in this thread. Heck, I read a lot less than most each year, and I still keep starting the darn thing up again every December

The previous years' book clubs: 2013, 2012.

Guidelines

1) Please reserve 1-3 consecutive posts in this thread where you will continue to update your list. Due to the length limitations of posts on CBR, it may be wise to reserve 2-3 posts. Whenever you read something new, edit your original posts to reflect this change.

2) Do not make additional posts in order to bump the thread. I have pmed Lone Ranger and requested that this thread be stickied after January 1st. Until then, let's not clutter the thread with update notifications.

3) When calculating your total number of comics read for each month, a single comic book is generally considered to be a modern age 20-25 page comic book. Any book of a significantly longer length should be counted as such (i.e. a comic containing 70 pages of CONTENT, not including adds, should be counted as 3 issues).

4) Comic strips may be counted. I generally count 40 standard daily strips as 1 issue, but it's up to you to count them as you see fit. Obviously, Little Nemo's Adventures in Slumberland should be counted differently than Garfield.

5) Several of us counted novels and pulp stories in our lists last year. Whether you see fit to include all novels you read or only those related to the comic book medium is your own choice. I tend to count anywhere from 8 to 15 pages of text as a single comic book issue, depending upon text size and complexity.

6) Since this is more a community of readers than a simple sub-forum, you should feel free to record new comics you are reading as well, but, as a general rule, I suggest making sure more than 50% of your recorded reads fit the board's definition of "classic" comics (more than 2 years old)

7) The common format generally used for tracking your reading has evolved into the example below. I highly recommend it as an easy way of backtracking through your year's worth of reading but, of course, you are welcome to record what you read in whatever way you see fit:

October
Adventures of Superman #444
Conan #83, 84
Epic Illustrated #1-7 (counting them as 4 issues each)
The Price, by Jim Starlin (counting it as 2 issues)
Superman (vol. 1) #165
The Star Wars (George Lucus Draft, 2013) #1-2

With all the craziness, it was easy to miss it was the end of the month, and time for the end of April wrap up...

big month for me with 142 comics read, putting me back on pace to match this year's goal of 1200 (or 100 per month).

Highlights for April include Corto Maltese (thanks to Shax for turning me onto this), early Steranko SHIELD, the first volume of Gotham Central, the third volume of Thief of Thieves, Locke and Key and the early MOKF I got to at the end of the month.

Getting this started on time this year! Woo hoo!

My goal is to read 2000 comics... I'll definitely be including all my current stuff as well as classics this time (which I didn't really do last year). I also may format things a bit differently... listing by title instead of by month (which will be much easier for said current stuff).

April Wrap-up: The fact I was behind on my new comics last month means most of my reading were new stuff.

Classic highlight was definitely Lone Wolf and Cub (which I likely alot better than when I read it years ago)

Looking forward to Starman next month!

April was a slow month for me. Highlights were probably the last half of the Vertigo Madame Xanadu run and Saga. I thought Saga was quite good, though maybe not the greatest thing since sliced bread, which is what I keep hearing. But it's good.

Madame Xanadu I thought lost a bit of steam in the second half of the run; the return of Morgan le Fay and particularly the two part flashback to Camelot just didn't quite do it for me. One thing I felt throughout this series was that the payoff to the arcs wasn't quite strong enough; the endings just didn't seem to land with the impact they should have. Not sure if this was an art problem or what. The main thing that softened over the second half of the series for me, though, was the lack of Phantom Stranger. In the first half of the run, he was in every arc, and the connection between him and Madame Xanadu was a central theme. Then he vanished until the series finale. I wonder where they were planning to go with this? The last "arc," which was standalone stories dealing with the five senses, were very good, told in the classic Phantom Stranger / Madame Xanadu style where she just shows up as a mysterious catalyst/supporting character instead of the focal point of the story.

Overall, I think the Madame Xanadu series was good. I liked it for some of the same reasons I liked Matt Wagner's Sandman Mystery Theatre, but I don't think Wagner was quite able to match SMT. But then, what does.

Join THE QUEST in 2023!

So I ended the month with 32 issues read. I didn't think I'd break ten for the month. Kind of busy. But this Stray Bullets series is a quicker read than I thought it would be. And very fun too. Reminds me a lot of Gilbert's Palomar contributions to Love And Rockets. Almost done with that series now. Also reading through a few trades that I thought would be easier to not update until I finish one.
