In a very strange way, December — a month where I read a lot of holiday comics, and a lot of Teen Titans comics and related series thereof — might have been the month that most perfectly represented my 2024 reading trends (revisiting old series and/or catching up with things I hadn’t read but felt like I should as a superhero fan, but doing so in bulk) and also the month that broke me of that tendency, at least in the short term. I read a lot of comic books in December, but outside of the obvious choices, very few were memorable, and very many were instantly forgettable if not downright bad. (Most of the 2003 Teen Titans series, I’m sadly looking at you.) Maybe 2025 is a year where I read less, but what I do read will be of higher quality. Check in with me this time next month and we’ll see if I followed through on that promise to myself.
