Before You Buy More Books Checklist

After buying a bunch of books I decided I wanted to read City of Bones. I mean I really wanted to get this book on a whole different level.  I know part of it is that I watch the show now which I strangely like. Anyway,  I decided to use this want to power bringing down my TBR.   In creating this checklist I did not want to have a number of books or time to wait before getting new books.

My three main goals are:

  1. Get up to date with comics my brother has read.
  2. Empty Shelves
  3. Purge, Declutter, and Organize books

Get up to date with comics my brother has read

My brother has read more comics than I have in result of them being pretty much his only source of reading at school. Also, he just reads comics faster than I do. I think that catching up with my brother is a more fun than saying I will read x amount of comics. My reward for reading each comic is having someone to talk about these comics with.

Description: A digital zine about Portuguese super-heroes, gathering 21 young Portuguese artists.

This was fun because it gave me a glimpse into Portuguese culture and mythology. There were some super-heroes that I would read their comic book right now if they were published.

WEIRD Love #2

(from IDW site)

I tried going to different stories to see if my disinterest was based on one or two of the stories, nope. I simply don’t like it. There was not any romance, horror, or crazy weirdness for me to get hooked on. What I did not know at the time of picking this up was I generally like modern comics. This just was not for me.

Discontinue

Black Dynamite 2/4

I can see some misogyny peeping through which bothered me (of course this is Black Dynamite so yeah). It feels like something is off from the last issue. I don’t think they know where they want to go with this comic series.

The authors could really dab a little commentary on black issues. Well, they don’t  if they don’t know what they are doing.

Continue and hope the next issue is better
