I have two weeks alone without my wife and kids as they are on vacation to the in-laws. I'm considering going back and finally reading Jimmy and Justin's entire run of Jonah Hex. Any other suggestions?

Walking around in you're underwear and swearing loudly... You know, just cause you can.  |

Rearrange all furniture, paint a room or two, maybe rip out a wall.

Hire strippers. Lots and lots of strippers.
And maybe read Slott's run on Spiderman to this point

I'd try to read something more involving; something that you wouldn't normally have the time to properly dive into with full attention...
Perhaps something by Morrison? Hickman? A heady OGN perhaps (loooong list of possibilities there!)

From Hell if you have not read it... it is a book that takes a lot of time to read but it is also hard to put down.
The Wire is another "non stop" thing, once you get started.
Also strippers and home improvement, as suggested.

That's enough time to start a new family. That will show them for leaving you!  Jonah Hex is one of those titles I keep meaning to read myself. If that's your jam, that's a good thing to read. Also, keeping it comic, tackle something from your regina pile that you haven't read yet. |

I just read it this past weekend. At over 500 pages it does read rather fast.  I agree with the jacobi, tackle the regina pile. or dig up 3 random issues from three boxes. I just did that a half hour ago, found some forgotten goodies |

I personally wouldn't read Hex. The entire run except one arc is all single issue stories. Those are perfect for a quick sit and read at any time. Something like this, go for something longer and involving.

I second Daytripper. But read it at the END of their vacation.
I promise, it'll actually make you thrilled that they are returning home in a wonderful way.
Beginning of your two weeks? Something epic and/or fun. Echo? Hickman's FF? Truly, thousands of great options.

Duncan the Wonderdog is about as beautiful dense and involved as I've ever read. Now is the time to enjoy.

My wife is going back to Nigeria (her home country) with my daughter for three weeks in July and I'm a mess over it. It's pretty chaotic over there at the moment.  What I normally do when they leave for long stretches of time like this is do some major renovating of the house. This way the place can be the mess it needs to be when doing that type of work. The plan is partially convert the guest room into a new closet for her (and the 400+ pair of shoes she owns). |
