When I'm curious to read a take on a single issue, outside of the bias certain forums have for or against a book, I usually skim through there now. It'll be nice to have most of your reviews in one place though. Especially since I prefer this comment area to SC's one. Well you did expose me to a new site with Savage Critics.

I read Savage Critics everyday via my Google RSS Reader. Don't worry, though, Comics Worth Reading is on the Blogroll, too. Best, Chris Sorry to hear that, Johanna.

And yes, I just couldn't keep up with the superhero comics weekly -- I'd stack them up until I was either in the right mood or told myself I just had to get through them. There are some superhero comics I still like (as seen by my recent <a href="http://comicsworthreading.com/2008/01/26/marvel-order-7-x-men-first-class-8-patriot-1-twelve-1-she-hulk-25-more/">Marvel coverage</a>), but out of three weeks, I didn't see a DC comic I wanted to talk about. Plus, there's the whole rating scale, which has never been the way I look at things. Thanks for the sympathy; some good analysis you've done as your reading habits have changed.

Which really means superhero comics, since manga's more of a quarterly thing. And since your desire to read superheroes has dropped, I'm not surprised to see you having problems with Savage's review format. Either way, I know I'll see reviews of the stuff you really like here. And isn't that what's important? To be fair, my blog has been on the fritz for a while. Reviewing books on a weekly or monthly basis just got difficult when I started to read differently. I can't really review 10-15 books a month if I'm going to be reading Lone Wolf and Cub at the same time. I like long, sprawling epics, and that means I have to rethink the review format. So I can understand what you're going through. Let’s face it- to review comics on a weekly basis, you have to be interested in…weekly comics.
