The early JD case files takes me right back to being that kid running to the newsagent for the next 2000AD…great times. Loved the Lobster Johnston omni’s and have finally pulled Blankets ‘Off My Shelves’ and added to my TBR pile. Cheers Chris 😁👍🏼
Is there a word for that reaction when you feel happy that some one else has finally read and liked the the comic you liked too(Lobster Johnson)? Selfishness? If that's selfishness then that is what I'm feeling now and it's kinda awesome🤗 Did I hear you say you're not going to buy more new comics? I tried that last year. I think I kept that promise six months which was pretty good result in my opinion. Nemesis is on my shopping list. There's Finnish albums available but they're a bit pricey as second hand and the series is incomplete. This new large format in English is the easy winner. You mentioned re-reading older books. I've found myself wanting to do that with many long series recently. There's a particular type of joy when you realize your old collection has that extra value. There should be separate word for a collection that has been accumulated just to have a lot of books and a collection that is actively curated for re-reading value.
The word is sharing my joy! Also it's always nice to see people who see the same thing in something you love as it reinforces your love a little. It helps that both omnibuses were great. I have a big box to open right now and then there are about 5-6 books I have preordered for next year, but that is it for me. Focusing money elsewhere for a bit and I won't struggle finding many things to read. It is a particular type of joy but the issue is the longer I go one reading the bigger the pile of books I love to re-read is, so I will get to a point where I am just going round and round, which I am fine with and its cheaper!
I've been selling books & reorganizing myself I do that every 8 months or so . Always trying to catch up on the to read pile .
“Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!!” I love Nemesis the Warlock, you’re right, it’s so much fun and over the top and imaginative. Such a fun read.
Glad you enjoyed it as much as me! Got volume 2 to be cracking on with now!

Fingers crossed you will see Blankets as worthy of your time. I totally missed 2000ad as a child and teen so I am well happy to be catching up now.

A lot of none super hero titles in this TBR . Lobster Johnson are books I bought a long time ago & still havent cracked open
@@ComicSwag crack it open and I hope you enjoy! I think most of my reading nowadays is minus a few superheroes.
@@OffMyShelves they are a huge investment for sure .. why cant they just be 50 issues & be done Lol
