What now?

Those of you who have been keeping track will have observed that there's just one more Essential volume to go, which I'll be covering today. Next Wednesday I'll do the traditional "Previews" post to mop up the series in question.

When I first started this blog some years ago I had a rather narrower scope of just the Spider-Man volumes (and thus picked a blog title that has been rather inaccurate for a while now), never realising I'd wind up reviewing the whole lot. But all good things must come to an end.

This blog isn't quite finished though. The Christmas special looks at Showcase Presents volumes have been popular and there'll be one further next week.

Hooray!

Erm, that will be explained next week. Also popular have been the "What If?" looks at other series that could have been collected in the Essentials but weren't. There'll be at least one further one.

Fantastic!

That will hopefully not need to be explained. Back to where I was... Beyond that the blog will aim to go out with a definitive ending rather than wandering aimlessly through other reprint formats. The very last post will highlight some of the best of the Essential volumes.

But for now, here comes Essential X-Men volume 11.

  1. Despite only just beginning with an insane and monumentus task. ( Reviewing 3 series well in to their 200's which are still going )
    And despite my best laid plans I haven't made as much headway as I would have liked.
    But things are shaping up and occasionally I do wonder what I will be doing when ( if) I finally manage to review those 600 comics.
    Probably continue, because they are still an ongoing concern.
    But for the time being I managed to cough up 3 new reviews in a single day.
    And hey, I am part of the blog roll ! cool.
    I will have to return the favor ..err as soon as I figure out how.
    But all in good time and in the new year. ( In about 65 min then )

    Happy new year
