Twenty Years of Reading Logs, Part 5: Other Comics

This is the fifth (and penultimate) post in my series breaking down my reading habits over the past two decades, celebrating my two decades of detailed tracking of my own reading. Previously, I did a whole post on DC Comics; this one covers the rest of my comics reading diet. (Note that both posts only count comics that I read as books, i.e., graphic novels and collections. Confusing, comic books are not books, so I don't log them.)

The peak of my comics reading is basically just the peak of my Transformers comics reading. For a couple years, I read an issue of IDW's Transformers comics over breakfast every day, which was enough to make Transformers rise to 2.5% of my overall reading of the past two decades! Take that out, and the 2015-19 span would see a mere 59 comics read. In grad school, I ILLed a lot of comic books, and those were mostly DC, but occasionally others.

Some specific notes:

• Marvel Comics make up 1.6% of my reading over the past two decades... compare to DC Comics's 13.5%! I guess you can tell which superhero universe I am partial to... (What was the comic I read that I classed as half Spider-Man and half something else? To be honest, I can't be bothered to figure it out.)
  
• Harvey Pekar and Moto Hagio are two writers whose oeuvres I am supposedly working my way through, but clearly that is not happening very quickly!
• Brian K. Vaughan and Kieron Gillen: I would not have guessed I had read the same amount of each writer, given I think of Kieron Gillen as the poor man's Brian K. Vaughan. The Vaughan stats are basically Y: The Last Man, Saga, and Paper Girls; the Gillen are The Wicked + The Divine, Die, and Once & Future. I guess I should go read Ex Machina to boost Vaughan's numbers or something.
• Kristofer Straub: Someday I'll get around to reading chainsawsuit and Broodhollow. Someday...

Just one not very exciting installment of this series left! Nonfiction!
