Comics

2000 AD
Prog 2463

And that's 2025's 2000 AD complete — which means I'm finally all caught up! ("Finally" because I've been working on this goal since September.)

I hadn't really processed it, because at the time I was just doing what I could to catch up, but reading the 'recap of the year' feature they run nowadays brought home to me that I've raced through an entire year's worth of 2000 AD in about 2½ months (and over a year's worth in about 3 months of dedicated effort). When I started this push, it was no more than a semi-desperate attempt to catch-up, reduce my backlog, not feel like I wasted my money... but, in some respects, it's been quite a nice way to read it. It certainly condenses storylines, which sometimes makes it easier to remember what's going on in them, especially with long-runners. So, even though I've now caught up, I wonder if I should deliberately get behind again — save up all 2026's Progs until September/October time and do another massive catch-up? Hmm, I'm not sure doing it deliberately is such a good idea... though, knowing me, once I get out of the habit of regular reading (which I will, whether I like it or not, now that I don't have a literal pile of Progs to work through), I might end up doing it accidentally.

What I should do is apply this method to the massive stack of unread US comics I've accumulated over the past three years... or even just catch up on X-Men (unread since May!) or Absolute Batman (unread since July!)
