This month saw the glorious halfway point on my epic journey and made me realise how small a number from the vast pool of incredible works 365 actually covers. I was worried about running out of things to read. Now I am worried I won’t be able to finish them all in time as I have loads of series I still want to visit.
This month we also had no Thumbs Down titles. I certainly wouldn’t expect any.
We had zero No Thumbs titles too. Thank goodness.
We had 24 Thumbs Up titles.

Blacksad: A Silent Hell – Juan Diaz Canales
There is not much I can say with Usagi and Blacksad being such magnificent works it has been a real pleasure.
My star was actually the commentary on Blacksad: A Silent Hell which taught me so much about art and gave me an even greater respect for hard working artists.
See you next month (maybe).
