Reading Roundup Wrapup: July 2013

Pick of the month: Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium by Murray Ward, Lou Mougin, Mark Waid, and John Wells. Perhaps a little offbeat in a month where I read the actual Crisis on Infinite Earths, not to mention "The Secret Sharer" and Watchmen, but I really enjoyed reading this book-- a very detailed, very fascinating look at the creation of and impact of the Crisis, on both in the real world and in the DC universe. I must also give a shoutout to Seven Deadly Sins (the first piece of Star Trek prose not written by myself I've read since January 2011!), which contained some great stories by Britta Burdett Dennison, Marc D. Giller, and especially Keith R.A. DeCandido.
