2,011 in 2011 comic-book reading challenge: Week 24 and 25 recap

The comic-book reading challenge continues!  My goal is to read 2,011 comic books in 2011.   After week 25, I’m at 863.  That’s about 43 percent of the comics read, with 48 percent of the year over.

My biggest individual run read in the past two-week period was Peter David’s 1990s run on “X-Factor.”  Other runs included Jim Starlin’s “Mystery in Space” and “The Weird.”
