Spoilers for Grimm Fairy Tales, including Apocalypse.
I'm about five issues away from being done with the Arcane Acre era of Grimm Fairy Tales. I've been stuck on this series for a while, which I'm not complaining about. It's a great series. But I'm about to take a somewhat extended break from it. A couple of weeks, maybe a month.
I've been really focused on getting this series to a certain point. Now I'm about to start the reboot, where it switches from Sela the Guardian to her daughter. I feel like the reading orders are going to be less convoluted as well, among other things. But before I start digging into that whole new era, I want to get some other reading caught up.
One of the things I'm going to do is go through comics I've read in the past and start posting about those. For the fully finished series, I want to do some catch-up posts, kind of like what I did with all the older video game series I'd beaten. I'm going to start doing that tonight and throughout the week and weekend.
Then, with some of the ongoing series I go back to, I want to catch up on posts up to wherever I left off. I have a lot of talking points about stuff I was reading before I started doing these posts. Now that I'm doing them, I want to catch up a little bit, just like I did with some of the games.
I'm also going to pick up where I left off with the Absolute DC series and get completely current on those. I'm several months behind because it's been a while. Then I want to start reading Marvel's Midnight Universe and read everything up to current, because that's another one I want to stay current on.
Once I get through those, I want to get a little further in X-Men. I recently did a big push on it, so I'm not going to dig too deep, but I definitely want to get a little further. I'm just getting out of the Chris Claremont era, which took me forever to get through. Now I'm getting into different artwork and different writing, and I want to spend some more time with that.
Then we'll see what else. I might knock out a couple of the limited series I've got on the shelf while I'm taking a break. Before I do another huge sprint on Grimm Fairy Tales, I just want to get some other stuff caught up. I've had my head in that series for so long.
That's part of why X-Men took me so long, too. I spent a tremendous amount of time taking a break from it while I was focused on other comics. So I want to jump around a bit.
Before I get back into another major read, like a whole era, I'll probably jump back into Spider-Man and get a little further in that one. I might go back to some of the Batman I was in the middle of and catch up on more of those as well.
So I'll be jumping around and posting about a lot of different comics after I finish this era. Right now, I'm just trying to wrap up the last bit.
The last five issues are the Apocalypse miniseries, which takes place a year after they seal the Four Horsemen. I just started issue one, and come to find out Cinderella went evil again. Which isn't the first time and probably won't be the last.
So we'll see where that goes.
