March in Review

What I Learned

That I have obsessive tendencies. I think I knew that, but I joined Marvel Unlimited on the 16th of March and have been cranking out the comics ever since! I sit down to write posts about what I have read so far this year and the words just never seem to flow. I would like to talk about some of the stuff that I read at some point! Because, well, I have read a lot of good stuff! March was essentially all about comic books. I am hoping to get back to longer stuff in April. We will see how the year goes!

  2. You had such a great reading month! I'm trying to decide what comic to read next. I'm thinking Mystic. Or Fall of Cthulhu. Or Hexed. Or Hawkeye. I should just toss a coin!
