2,011 in 2011 comic book reading challenge: Week 20 and 21 recap

A big chunk of the recent comics challenge reading was focused on 1970s Captain America issues.  I remember picking up issue #150, shown above, at a flea market probably about 20 years ago.  At the time, it was one of the earliest issues of the series that I owned.  (I’ve acquired more since then…)   Anyway, it was a relatively productive reading period this time around, with 73 comics read.   With 713 comics read total, I’m 35 percent of the way to 2,011 comics read, with 41 percent of the year over.  Breakdowns after the cut.
Marvel Comics: 66
DC Comics: 3
Dynamite: 2
IDW: 1
Pacific: 1

I don’t necessarily like for Marvel to be that far out in front, but the main books I was working on this time around — Mystique, Marvels Project, Captain America — are all from the publisher.
