I'm going read every single Saga issue that I have. I have 22 out of 36 issues. I'm going give them all new plastics too.

I read a couple of Casper the Friendly Ghost stories.

MEET MISTY #5 (Aug. 1986) [STAR Comics/Marvel] - Interesting. Written and drawn a simple, retro style by Trina Robbins, it has a very "Katy Keene" feel to it, with virtually every panel crediting a reader for contributing the clothing design for the character(s) in that panel. Given that this was only the 5th issue, you have to wonder whether a lot of those reader names weren't just made up. I'd been aware of the existence of this comic from the time it came out, but had never really read it. It turns out that the teenage Misty of the title lives with her Aunt Millie, who is actually an older & heavier version of Millie Collins (last names are never mentioned, but she's married by the time of this series; her husband is seen in a few panels, but never named) of MILLIE THE MODEL fame. There was a short story in the middle of the book called "Millie's Memories" where she goes to clean her old clothes out of her closet, and spends a couple of pages reminiscing about all the times she first wore various outfits (which are each illustrated in their own flashback panels, showing how she looked in them when she was young). Clicker (Millie's fashion photographer boyfriend in her old series) is shown in one panel, and Millie thinks "I wonder if I should have married him?" She eventually donates all her old outfits to a thrift store, but then just as she's having pangs about missing those old memories, Misty and her friends show up wearing some of her old outfits.

I just read my digital copy of Archie #8, I give it a A+.

BettyReggie

I read Archie's & Friends Jumbo Comics Digest #15 & Betty & Veronica Comics Double Digest #234 for 12 minutes each.

irishmoxie

The Walking Dead #1-3: very good so far. Each issue ends on a cliffhanger.

Archie #8: a succinct and satisfying issue. The storytelling is getting better. I'm glad they ditched the 1940s reprints for Samm Schwartz instead.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #1 - Alright first issue. The tone was a bit affected. I wonder if it gets better.

irishmoxie

Harrow County #12 - they unfortunately changed the artist again. I miss the watercolors which really work with the story. I liked the idea of the possessed doll though.

irishmoxie

More Laugh issues. A lot of the Mighty Archie Art Players stories are reprinted in the Pals N Gals digests. There's a parody of Back to the Future in Laugh #22.

BettyReggie

I skipped reading anything Archie related. I read a lot of library books. Tomorrow I'll focus on my digital comics.

irishmoxie

Re-reading Finding Molly issues 1 and 2 in preparation for issue 3.

irishmoxie

Kennel Block Blues 1-4: I probably shouldnt've read this as a pet owner. Issue #3 just about killed me it was so sad.  :'( First time a comic made me cry. I loved the juxtaposition between reality and the song and dance the dog made up to deal with the harsh reality.
