Church and State Volume 2





I'm now onto Volume 2 of Church and State. However, I have the single issues of this story rather than the phonebook sized collection. So I can show the covers. Some nice ones here!

First up issues 81 - 84.

Cerebus Church & State

Just finished Cerebus High Society yesterday.

Now starting on Church & State vol 1 which reprints issues 52-80 of Cerebus.

Cover shown above is from a 1991 reprint of issue 67 which I somehow seemed to have acquired at some point. Probably for a few pence at a comic mart. It's the only reprint I have from this volume.

Cool cover!

Cerebus - High Society

This phonebook sized paperback reprints Cerebus 26-50. I'm near the end as I write this (issue 44 I think). Haven't read this for about 20 years and really enjoying it.

Throughly recommend Cerebus upto the end of Church & State story arc and I am intending to re-read upto that point.

Only downside...the binding is coming loose which is making it more difficult to read.

I have got one or two of the original issues and will post those covers when I read those particular issues.

I'm back blogging...(sort of)

I've decided this year to try and keep track of what I've read and what I've bought.

To keep the blog focused I will only list books and comics.

I'm not sure if I will be commenting/reviewing any of what I have read or bought. We'll see how the mood takes me. I reckon I read at an average pace but I generally don't have a great deal of time for reading and when I do, it's late at night so I'm tired after about 20-30mins.

New Years resolution. Find more time for reading.

Anyways....so what am I reading at the beginning of the year...?
