While I didn’t quite keep to my idea of paring back my comic reading to simply things that are good, I did restructure my reading somewhat in January and focus in on slower, more intentional re-reads of some beloved material: Lee and Kirby’s Fantastic Four, Morrison and Porter’s JLA (and then more Morrison after that), Claremont’s mid-era Uncanny X-Men, and more. Keeping myself limited to an issue or maybe two a day has meant that I’ve appreciated the material more, and slowed down the reading experience in such a way that I’ve found particularly rewarding. (Of course, some other things I’ve still been rushing through in unusual haste…)
