I stopped reading comics for a few months. For a lifetime fan, maybe that means something, or just changing tastes. Didn't stick with 2000ad either, too many follow ups to series I never read.

Instead I'm reading manga, and for now that feels great. I always tried and failed to read manga, but it was mostly because I kept to Shonen Jump titles, and I'm unfortunately very much past Shonen and Nekketsu.
But outside of those, there is an incredibly rich world of books with their own identity and themes, no rotten shared universe.

I wanted to list what I really loved but it turns out that's a good chunk of what I read. The stinkers are rare (Even if you sslit my mouth and some Jump titles).
But I will list the :photoblobheart: anyway.

Yay, Ruri Dragon has returned. Aparently in Shonen Jump for 5 more chapters and then moving over to Shone Jump+ on a bi-weekly schedule,

For those who don't remember, or didn't read it when it first started, it's a cute little series where a girl finds out she is a dragon when she wakes up with horns one morning.

This post may be better suited in the mental health thread.
I swore off comics. I can’t choose what to read, I want to read too much, I‘m perpetually catching up, and your regular monthly comics is generally shit.

Then I started watching the Sandman TV Show and guess who lasted 7 episodes before… fucking reading comics again ?

I swear I’m fickle as a leaf in a storm. This is a bigger issue than it seem, but yeah, more suited for the other thread.

At least I read the first Saga of the Swamp Thing, not too shabby.

I gave up comics right after COVID started. I got laid off and was worried about money so I cancelled my pull list. I'm glad I did, because it was definitely something that had begun to feel like an obligation rather than a hobby.

I was buying stuff I had stopped liking because I felt invested in the series and wanted to have the whole collection.

Now I read the occasional graphic novel, and have recently dipped my toe into manga, though I'm only reading Witch Hat Atelier and Freiren at the moment.

I wish manga was in color though.
