Started reading Naruto (3-in-1 Edition), Vol. 1: Includes Vols. 1, 2 & 3 and I'm enjoying it so far.

One of my friends suggested Re:Monster Vol 1 and it is a weird scifi turned fantasy about a guy reborn as a goblin but he kept his absorption ability and memories of his previous life so as he gets stronger he changes how goblins live. :)

Thanks for the suggestion, Ian! It looks like it's right up my street so I've added it to my TBR shelf! :)
Recently finished Saga, Vol. 7 and I'm in such a love/hate relationship with the series at this point. While it continues to be wildly imaginative, quirky, and all that I can't help wonder where it's going. I hope they have an end in mind and we get there before this 'eternal middle' tires me out.

Having received an order of various missed back issues of 2000 AD going back a year, I read prog 2004 and indexed it for the Grand Comics Database this morning. Next up is prog 2010.
Read prog 2010 and finished 2011 (begun way back in April....). My local supermarket chain for some reason stopped stocking 2000 AD earlier this year and it was hard to find the comic elsewhere so I ordered all the missing back issues from 2000ad.com and now have a feast of comics to read for the next month or so! :D

Read three issues of 2000 AD today (progs 2013-2015). Still lots to catch up on!

I find it funny that Batman can gather up a team and lead them like a general but doesn't really talk to them all that much save for Selina.
Don't worry. This is just the first year so there is plenty of conflict to come. :)

Well Batman was always the brooding type so I'm not surprised he doesn't talk to his team that much. Maybe he just needs to get to know them better.
Read progs 2016-2020 of 2000 AD. Still a stack of 20-30 to go!
Currently just completed reading ShoplifterThis was a good read. A pleasant one in the Friday evening.
Read Blue Exorcist, Vol. 2 between yesterday and today. I thought this was a lot better than vol. 1 in the series.
Read prog 2023 of 2000 AD last night. Will follow with prog 2024 sometime today.
The "Postal" series. Pretty good so far.
Read 2000 AD, progs 2024 (yesterday) and 2025. Trying to read one issue a day to catch up!

I'd be into getting that myself! I've read very little 1960s era comics.

How about some original Nick Fury then. :)

And 960 pages too! :O
Read 2000 AD, progs 2026 (earlier in the month) and 2027-8 (today). Also finished reading Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life on the 15th. Fun book - will be continuing with the series.

No I think it is still the individual volumes just in color and harder to bend. :)

Read 2000 AD, progs 2029-30 earlier today.
I just finished 4 Kids Walk into a Bank this morning. This may have been the funniest book I have ever read.
I'm working my way through the Judge Dredd Mega Collection and 2000ad collections as I now have reading glasses and can see them also just finished Ready Player One which is utterly fantastic

I've read a couple of the Mega Collection volumes - The Apocalypse War and Mechanismo - and thought they were excellent!
Also, I read 2000 AD, prog 2031. I should really catch up a bit faster though!
I just finished all 6 volumes of Scott Pilgrim and now going to continue major Marvel events that I took a break from after Avengers Disassembled. So House of M is next on my list

Read 2000 AD progs 2032-4 between yesterday and today. I was enjoying the 'Cursed: The Fall of Deadworld' series so I was disappointed that it came to an end in prog 2033. I know that 'Cursed' will return in a new series at a later time but it's annoying to have to wait till then. Still, 'Defoe: Diehards' and 'Blink: Skeleton Crew' are continuing beyond #2034 and I'm having fun with those series too.
I just finished Simon Dark volume 3 last night. On to another trade paperback today: Red Hood and The Outlaws (Rebirth) vol 1! Liking it so far :)
Over a couple of hours yesterday, I read Seraph of the End, Vol. 1 - the first book in a manga series involving a post-apocalyptic struggle against vampires. Four stars!On Feb. 6th, I read 2000 AD prog 2035.
On the 12th, I read 2000 AD, prog 2036, and I followed this up today with progs 2037-2038.
On the 12th, I read 2000 AD, prog 2036, and I followed this up on the 15th and 16th with progs 2037-2039.
reading Jenny Finn- Mike Mignola, Abe Sapien Dark and Terrible- Mignola, Monstress -Lui, Deadpool MAX, and Batman Rebirth. I flip between them.

That looks fun! And you can get the first issue free from the publisher's Web site!

Great! Thanks for the info!
So far this month, I've read 2000 AD progs 2040-2042.
Read 2000 AD progs 2043-2046 over the weekend.
Read 2000 AD, Prog 2047 (6 September 2017), yesterday. Pondering whether or not to ignore the 15-issue gap in my collection and start reading prog 2063 or order the missing back issues and read them first.

Gordon gets a 4 from me personally but being desensitized to Dread I can see why you are not as impressed, :)
