Androxys' 2023 Comics Wrapped

We're almost at the end of 2023! To celebrate the turning of the year, I wanted to take a quick view back through the comics I read over the last twelve months. Turns out there's... a lot of them.

This isn't 100% perfect, mainly because I'm basing this off the metadata of when comics were added to my computer... I do think there are some comics I added at the end of 2022 but ended up reading in 2023. However, in the interest of being fair, this list won't count those, and is instead only the comics I can confirm I read in 2023.

By my tally, I read 977 comics in 2023 across 78 unique titles. If we assume each comic is 22 pages long, that's 21,494 pages of comics! Of course, some stories are shorter than 22 pages (as if they're splitting with a backup) and some are longer (prestige formats or one-shots). Based on some quick (and quite unscientific) math, I estimate that I spent around four days of my 2023 in the world of DC Comics. And you know what, I'll do it again.

Breaking down my Top 10 single titles, this year I read...

1. 169 Superman/Adventures of Superman/Action Comics issues
2. 128 Batman/Detective Comics issues
3. 104 JSA issues
4. 56 Suicide Squad issues
5. 52 Birds of Prey issues
6. 51 Manhunter issues
7. 38 Harley Quinn issues
8. 33 Aquaman issues
9. 31 Azrael issues
10. 27 Martian Manhunter issues
