jaclynhyde | 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die Reading Project

I'm slowly going through the list of comics in 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die with the help of a random number generator (plus grabbing a few at my library out of order). I sporadically post reviews at League of Comic Geeks. Favorites are in bold, and I've noted what parts I read if I didn't read everything. Comics I've read before starting the project aren't included until I roll their number.
