What are you reading in September 2025?

I really don't know where the time goes! Seems like I say it every month, but each month goes by quicker than the one before!!

Anyway, what is everyone reading now in September?

(Currently on a short break from comics myself and am reading some prose books.)

>1 sweetiegherkin:
Yeah, time flies!!

Still reading Robin: Year One. I’ve been a little busy, so I'm not having enough time to enjoy it.

Hi all! I recently discovered this group, so this is my first time posting in this thread. Last night I started a collection of mid-2000s Star Trek: The Next Generation comics I got from Hoopla, Star Trek Classics: Enemy Unseen.

I'm reading two new graphic novels this month: Cannon by Lee Lai (from the library) and This Place Kills Me by Mariko Tamaki & Nicole Goux (impulse purchase from the National Book Festival).

I am now working my way through Justice League International Omnibus, Volume 1. It is very big... and then there are two more!

I just picked up Monstress at the library - solely based on the cover art.

Read over the past couple of months:

Roaming by Jillian & Mariko Tamaki, a beautifully told & drawn story of 3 collegiate women on an adventure to New York City.

Moonray: Mother's Skin. I wanna say, if you've read one Brandon Graham story you've read them all, but I *like* them all! (Well, Prophet was kind of grim; I like the humorous touches in his other work better.)

Hate Revisited! by the great Peter Bagge. This story alternates current day Buddy Bradley and family with flashbacks to his grunge days. Hate! never fails to entertain me.

The Crumrin Chronicles Vol. 3 The Wild & the Innocent by Ted Naifeh. I love the Crumrin series, both the endearing characters and the unique drawing style.

Spent : A Comic Novel by the great Alison Bechdel at her over-intellectual yet slapstick best. I thought some of the satire (much of it self-satire) of this group of semi-rural Vermont progressives was a little over the top. But my sister in Vermont assures me it's not far off the mark.

This month I’ve been on a Jack Higgins kick, reading several of his Sean Dillon series.

Then there is Upgrade by Blake Crouch. Great story telling, very suspenseful.

Where MyHeart Used to Beat by Sebastian Faulks is heart rendingly beautiful.

Yikes! Just noticed this is “comics”. Didn’t notice the sub-heading…..

>4 Stevil2001: If you ever get that far north, Ticonderoga NY has a Star Trek museum (https://startrektour.com/). I found it pretty neat and I've never even watched Star Trek! :)

>9 amberwitch: Ooo, I've heard nothing but good things about Monstress; it's been on my TBR list for a while now.

>11 booknest: hah, all good! Glad you are finding stuff to read and enjoy, no matter the format! :)

I just finished The Phantom Twin, which is probably not for everyone but I enjoyed it. It's the quirky, pathos-filled story of Isabel, who is part of an old-fashioned sideshow along with her conjoined sister -- until her sister demands they get an operation to separate. The story follows the consequences of that decision.

>12 sweetiegherkin: I used to live in New England, and I meant to go then but I never got around to it!

So far this month:

Spirou et Fantasio L'Intégrale T2,
Natacha, hôtesse de l'air L'Intégrale T1
Julius Corentin Acquefacques, prisonnier des rêves T4 . Le Début de la fin / La fin du début
Julius Corentin Acquefacques, prisonnier des rêves T2. La Qu...
Thorgal T1. La magicienne trahie (reread)
Thorgal T2. L'ïle des mers gelées (reread)

Currently reading:
Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths by Shigeru Mizuki
(Recueil) Spirou No. 156. (with, annoyingly, 8 pages missing - but I found them on line and will print them out and tip them in.)

I'm still working my way through the JLI omnibus, but I'm now also reading Ms. Marvel Team-Up.

I'm currently reading Batman: Ego and Other tails. And it is really wonderful.

I finished out September with some kids' comics:

We Are Big Time, which was inspired by (not based on) a true story.
Big Jim Begins, which kids *love* and I thought was fine.
The Ribbon Skirt, which had an important story but just meh illustrations.
