Pinky: "Gee Brain, what are we gonna do tonight?" Brain: "The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!"
For me every day involves the read of a few comic books, Marvel mainly but I do have a love of a few of the indies and some DC. But I do hope people who are not hugely into comic books find their local shop and make your way (socially distanced of course) down there to show some support! Comic books are a fantastic medium whatever you’re into! |

Absolutely agree with this. Comic books are so easy to read and need to be supported |

I don’t own it but I’ve watched the reading of it on YouTube, brilliant story. I genuinely thought it was going to be the outcome of the Infinity War movie when Nebula crash landed on Titan |

Not as fabled but the 2013 Inifity run by Johnathan Hickman is one of my favourites. Wonderfully drawn but a compelling and fast paced story |

"None of them because I'll be busy*. 
*I might bring The Boys and read it hysterical literature style. "
I need to read The Boys. I’ve watched the show and I’m curious as to the comparisons. The Umbrella Academy was a great read too from recent comic book to series adaptations x |

"I have a copy of Neil Gaiman's Sandman: Overture I've been meaning to get around to. So probably that. "
I saw an interview where he talked about the life cycle of stories, and they illustrated the durability of stories by throwing a Sandman anthology on the ground |

Twomof my birthday presents were the last temptation and the Sandman Volume 1 collectors addition (first 4 books). So probably that. Though I have read them both many times before.
We have a whole stack to get through |

They're brilliant. Far more violent and gritty than the "commercialised" turtles that gained world fame. I loved the art style as well. Very original  |

Fortunately thinning means I can keep my specs from getting too out of control.
And I don't quite need reading glasses yet, although at least those will probably be cheaper |
