I am looking at the pile of comics I have to read, and am wondering where to start. Once a year, usually in January or February, Mark consolidates all the comics for the year into his big collection. Every week he bags and boards what I’ve read (because I am so much slower than him...), and puts it into a long box for the current year. Then, as I’ve said, once a year he consolidates that into the main collection, while “archiving” series that have ended into separate boxes. It is a pretty big undertaking, and he always asks me to try to finish up any issues of series that have ended so he can put them away.

He just finished this years...

and I am looking, in my pile of TBRs, at issues 7 and 8 (of 8) of Reign in Hell, issue 6 (of 6) of Terror Titans, and issues 2 and 3 (of 3) of Batman Cacophony. Now, I am pretty sure that some of these came out after Mark’s big consolidation effort, but what lousy timing.

So, my goal is to have all of those, plus 14 more from two weeks ago, in the next 24 hours. Do you think I can do it? Only time will tell....
