Getting into comics/graphic novels

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but Locke and Key is an AMAZING series. A buddy introduced me to it, and now I'm hooked like a bad crack addiction. Highly recommend it.

I've continued my cross between reading Fables (up to Vol 12 now) and catching up on all the superhero stuff I've been reading.

Right now I'm on Brian Michael Bendis' run of Avengers (Avengers Disassembled and New Avengers vols 1-3). I'm really enjoying it. The way he writes Spiderman is absolutely fantastic. At least a half dozen laugh out loud moments from Spidey in the first 10 issues so far. If volume 3 stays decent, I just may have to collect this whole run. Weird for how popular he is it is my first time reading anything he's done I think.

Fables is awesome as usual.

Next I've got some Thor stuff that I think I'll read next that I'm excited for. Couple of Loki limited series and then some J Michael Straczynski's run on Thor. Also Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America, I've got Winter Soldier.

No joke I spent about a half hour today creating a timeline online so that I could track what storyline came when. I haven't been reading stuff chronologically so jumping around the Marvel Universe with intertwining characters has been rather confusing at times.

I need to get back into my graphic novels. I have like 15+ that I still haven't read (including about 6 Fables books).

Just seems like I spend all my time watching tv these days.

I mostly read during the summer because I like to sit out on my balcony and read/drink/smoke/enjoy the sun.

When winter comes my reading slows down a bit, especially with hockey and tv picking up.

Just finished reading the Civil War arc, I thought it was pretty well done.

The build up was great, the ending not so good. Definitely worth the read.

I've often thought about reading the Civil War arc, but the odd time I've wanted too, I get confused at the timeline with all the Civil War branded books. But I'm probably just ######ed.

Civil war is one of the worst mini series Marvel has ever put out. I actually stopped reading marvel comics all together after i read this piece of sit.
