Reading eight issues of the Milestone “Hardware” run helped make DC Comics my most-read publisher for week 15 of the 2,011 in 2011 comic-book reading challenge.  With 45 comics read in the past week, I’m at 591 for the year.    That’s about 29 percent of the year’s reading completed with 31.5 percent of the year over.

DC Comics led the publisher list this week, followed closely by Valiant and Dynamite.
