For this week, I fell behind the pace needed to hit the total for the first time, reading only 30 comics.  Fortunately, the pace of the first 3 weeks keeps me ahead overall.

After the fourth week of the comic-book challenge, I have 1820 comic books remaining to read, or about 90.5 percent of the total.    The good news is, I still have 92.6 percent of the year left to get there.

I added two new publishers to the mix this week, Archie Comics and the defunct NOW Comics.  Totals this week by publisher:

Archie Comics – 3
Marvel – 12
Dark Horse – 1
IDW – 1
NOW – 12
Valiant – 1
Total – 30

And totals this week by decade:

1980s -  20
1990s – 1
2010s – 9
Total – 30
