I read a lot of comics. Right now, I have a stack of literally 14 trades/hardcovers sitting next to my coffee table that I’ve gotten over the past month or so alone that I need to catch up with. So I won’t lie, I skim a lot of them. It allows me to enjoy the art, and I just don’t have the time. If a comic is good enough, I’ll slow down long enough to read it. If I get really into it, I’ll turn off the tv or music and dig into it. It’s like this weird whittling down process, y’know? If a comic is great, it will reveal itself to be great to me by natural and organic tendencies, read in this weird vacuum from all the naysayers, critics, backlash, and folderol of the Internet echo chamber. 

Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma’s Morning Glories is the first book I’ve read in years that upon finishing the 300 page plus hardcover, I put it down, before almost immediately picking it up and reading through again. I’m about halfway through it the second time in a row. I won’t lie, I may read it through a third time. 

So I guess that’s about as strong a recommendation I could give a book. 

Note: I’ve been told that the hardcover is still delayed b/c of a printing error. :( Well, order it anyway.  You won’t be sorry.
