Started for all to converse about what they are reading, enjoying or just want to reminisce about.
I may have mentioned a few times that I'm a huge TMNT nerd. They are the only comics I collect regularly. I own about half of the original run (vol. 1) by Eastman & Laird. All of Vol. 2, issues 1-5 of Vol. 3 by Image, all of Vol. 4 (Turtles as adults by Laird) and all of Vol. 5 (currently running reboot on issue 115 by IDW). I didn't like the current reboot when it first started and took about 10 issues to pull me in and it's gone on some wild rides ever since. I absolutely love it. Funny thing about the original run which was 62 issues if my memory is serving me correct this evening, only about 35 of those are really any good. After issue 21, Eastman & Laird had to farm out the comic in order to keep it monthly and it suffered heavily for years, the final 15-16 issues they returned and ended the series on a great finale.
Outside of keeping up on TMNT I'm reading Dorohedoro as mentioned in the other thread, Berserk (on vol 33 or 34 right now), I recently finished Vol 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, one of my favorite manga's ever. I read over 25 years worth of JoJo manga over the course of the last year and half, that was quite the undertaking.
