Your Regina Pile

[whirlwindx]

I just counted...maybe to depress myself/prepare myself for a con in about two months. It's 100 deep of trades/hardcovers etc. including in there are 7 omnibus, 15 essentials/showcases, and 3 Masterworks, and that's counting the stuff I can read.

I have titles like Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus 2,3 but not 1, Fantastic Four Visionaries: Byrne 1,4-8 but no vol. 2 & 3.
Now I don't even want to see how many back issues I still haven't read from the last con or from the 5 for a $1 bin.

I don't think the pile's ever been this high, So many good comics but  Back to the at least one trade a day. Maybe I can bring it down under 50 before a con.

I hear ya, my regina is totally out of control.  My buying habits haven't changed in the last 3 years or so, but I have two young beautiful daughters so my reading time is greatly reduced.

for example I have all of the marvel omnibuses (except 2) and all of the absolutes (except about 5) and I have only read one omnibus and a couple of absolutes.  also countless trades are unread.

what a great problem to have, but I don't really have a plan for catching up!

[bryanb]

With my budget being what it is I am caught up on my Regina pile. But my re-Regina pile is pretty big:

Howard the Duck Essential Vol 1
Shade the Changing Man Milligan run
Sleeper Vol one
Akira Vol 2
Soulwind
Atomic Robo vol 1

Oh Christ.  We have re-regina piles now?  When will the madness stop?!

Instead of "re-regina" why don't we call it va.........oh um "re-regina" sounds good.

My "Regina" pile:

1) Omega the Unknown 1-10

2) Vinyl Underground Vol 1-2

3) Marvel Winter Specials 93' 94' and a few others

4) Marvel Summer Specials

5) Random Punisher issues : Ennis Run

That's about it.

Too much to list... 

My Regina pile has spread across 2 rooms... one room has the "on deck" Regina books, all the rest are hiding in the dugout waiting.

I also have an "in progress" Regina pile. Books I'm somewhere in the middle of, but needed a break for a bit and will return to at a later date.

The really sad part is that I read, at a bare minimum, 5 comics a day, and at least 2 chapters from a prose book. Usually more.

Sick. Need help. 

[Parker]

I don't have one, I read all my books 

[Farrell]

I have no idea how many books I have that I haven't read yet.  It's a lot, though.

Some that are imminent are:

Finishing Monologues for Calculating the Density of Black Holes
Rex Libris Vol. 2
The Photographer (looking forward to this, but I know it's gonna depress me)
Mysterius the Unfathomable: read the first, just got the last, now I can read the whole thing
Storming Paradise: ditto
20th Century Boys#2,3
Poking around in the Side B Music Anthology.  I don't read anthologies cover to cover.

And Count of Monte Cristo is always there, looming, taunting me with its enormity....

[ja$#b w*&ch]

4 Marvel Omnibi
4 Kirby Omnibi
12 Showcases
4 Essentials
6 600+ British War Comics collections
A couple dozen trades and hardcovers
And about 30 trades already preordered from DCBS

My main problem is I keep finding great collected editions from the library, which is putting me behind on my regina. (That sounded kind of wrong)

[bonusfeat]

At this point my "Regina" pile has a "Regina" pile 

[Mr.OneTwo]

Mine is The Sword vol 2.
After being laid off for 4 months my pile shrunk considerably,but now that I'm back to work will it  probably grow again.

[Captain J]

Hmm... just to get started...

Marvels hardcover (10th anniversary ed.)
All of the issues of Old Man Logan so far
Ultimate X-Men vol. 3 hardcover
A huge assortment of Batman comics, both regular issues and specials
Ghost Rider trade; Hell Bent and Heaven Bound
Huge assortment of random crap

[valoharth]

I have titles like Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus 2,3 but not 1,

These are in mine too, problem with them is they're long reads but they're 100% quality.

My Regina pile is insane and is dominated by Grells(sp?) entire run on Green Arrow and some of Winicks run.

I find it harder to read Hard Covers than paperbacks. I think it has to do with me wanting to be more delicate with HC. 

[Sean M.]

Current regina pile- Brain Banx (full mini)/ Vermillion(full series)- usually I read everything I buy though- I can't afford to regina as much as I would like 

I have a far bigger regina pile of novels.

My regina pile is embarrassing too...  Part of the reason I made so many cuts a few months ago.

[MarcusQ]

What in the blue fuck is a "regina"? Sounds like it may be an anal problem and other than that it could be a character from Dino Crisis I have no idea what this has to do with comics so please explain!

[Farrell]

What in the blue fuck is a "regina"?

It's a city in Canada.  There, clear as mud? 

You must be behind in your podcast listening...

[wilson6923]

Regina is funny.

[Wraithmaker]

4 Showcases
Noble Causes Archive Vol. 2

My pile isn't that big, I read my singles on a weekly basis, to be in on the loop for myself and for customers.
