Hello lovely people! I've seen some discussion and threads popping up about reading entire runs of series or entire stretches where a certain writer got a hold of a character, so I thought it would be cool to have a thread where we talk about the experience of long-term reading years worth of stories in one (ok, many) sittings. And because I've been reading all of One Piece for the past couple of months. Are you interested in reading a whole bunch of comics about your favorite super-person? Of course you are, you are reading this on a decrepit forum about four-color imaginary people. How can you go about doing this? Now thanks to digital comics, subscription services and online storefronts it's easier (and legal-er) than ever. Comixology has a ton of sales, Humble Bundle sometimes has great comic bundles for like 5 bucks and DC Universe, Viz has a lot of the popular manga series with their Shonen Jump deal and Marvel Unlimited are a great source of completed runs from the Big 2. But what if I like a) to feel the paper in my hands/prosthetic/feet (assuming you're into that)? and b) want to lift weights at the same time? The more expensive option: Omnibuses! Available on amazon, bookdepository, instocktrades and wherever comics are sold. Those big, large hunks of paper and cardboard generally have all the issues of a certain run or era of a lot of popular writers. Plus, they make for very beautiful doorstops. So far, I've gone through a few entire runs (Planetary, Love and Rockets from before New Stories, Akira, Starman, etc) and one of the things I really like is seeing how the artists and writers perfect their technique as they get more and more comfortable with the characters and the world they are creating. Some start with a clear vision and an end-point and some just go for a ride and I love reading them. So, what's the latest series you've been reading through? What do you like about the experience? Have you thought about reading an entire run or thought "I wonder what it would feel like to go through all the appearances of 'Mazing Man?" Are you doing a read-through right now? Have you been able to read the Kirby Omnibus in a comfortable position? Let's talk about it.
