Thanks for your kind words.

I try to devour one volume per day, though this sometimes makes it harder for me to enjoy each one to its fullest. It helped that I managed to pick some pretty cool comics for this challenge.

Good luck with your progress. There are plenty of good comics mentioned in this group to keep one busy for months.
