Add to my lists | Print this list

Because I was kind of a dumbass in High School, and because I’m very lazy, I’m not too familiar with most "required reading". Accordingly, I’ve resolved in 2008 not to let myself read any comics this year until I’ve finished reading some essentials. This list is in no particular order.
