Since the last update, I have read:
from The New Defenders Vol. 1: Defenders 122-125
The original Defenders leave, and Beast takes charge of a mix of old and new members. (Back in the 1980s I didn’t actually start reading until #126 I think, when the title officially changed to “The New Defenders.” I think I picked it up to find out what the original X-Men where up to.)
Probably last comic status update for a while, as trying to get focus back onto RPGs.
Since the last update I have read:
from Essential Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4: Uncanny X-Men 169-173 (Morlocks! Wolverine’s Wedding! The debut of “punker Storm!”)
from New Mutants Classic Vol. 1: The New Mutants 5-7
This is a period in which it seems to be read a couple X-Men, read a couple New Mutants as the storylines take place in a very specific order.
(NEXT UP: The New Defenders Vol. 1, which has 3 of the original X-Men in it – Beast, Angel, and Iceman. Then more X-Men and on to Avengers – Absolute Vision Book 1.)
Better post one of these before they get away from me.
from Epic Iron Man – The Enemy Within: Iron Man 169-170
from Incredible Hulk – Regression: Incredible Hulk 286-290, Incredible Hulk Annual 12
from Essential Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 4: Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider Man 80-83
from Thor by Walter Simonson Vol. 1: Thor 337-341 (the Beta Ray Bill saga! This was right before I actually started reading Thor back in 1983, so I’d never actually read it before. Awesome stuff.)
Trying to slow down a bit if possible, as don’t want to get ahead of some books that are being released soon. Especially waiting for “The Amazing Spider-Man Black Costume Saga Book 1” but that is still a whole month away š¦
(NEXT PLANNED: back to Essential Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4 and New Mutants Classic Vol. 1. There’s going to be a lot of alternating back and forth between the mutant titles coming up.)
Since the last update I have read:
from Incredible Hulk – Pardoned: Incredible Hulk 282-285
from Essential Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 4: Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man 75-79
from Thing Classic Vol. 1: The Thing #1 (note: as best I can tell this probably should be read before Fantastic Four 251, as the suggested reading order I am using plops it right in the middle of a multi-issue FF adventure in the Negative Zone)
(NEXT PLANNED: starting Incredible Hulk – Regression, back to Epic Iron Man – The Enemy Within, more Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 4)
Going to post this one earlier than a week interval, since the amount of different volumes I am reading is increasing. Don’t want to lose track of where I am.
Remember, you can now see more info about the books I am reading by visiting my “Marvel Comics TPB Library” page.
Since the last update I have read:
from Avengers – Absolute Vision Book 1: Avengers Annual 11, Amazing Spider-Man Annual 16
from Incredible Hulk – Pardoned: Incredible Hulk 280-281
from Epic Iron Man – The Enemy Within: Iron Man 167-168
from Fantastic Four Visionaries – John Byrne Vol. 3: Fantastic Four 251-253
(NEXT PLANNED: some more of Incredible Hulk – Pardoned, and finally getting to Essential Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 4)
more archeology than history - monotonous but becomes a bit more interesting in the last 1/3
