Last one I read was "Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness" #4, the last part of the comic that leads into the new movie. If any of the events are referenced in the movie, I will be shocked. It's not terrible, just forgettable. Except for Harry Mudd having a hot Bajoran daughter. I'll never forget that.

In other comic news, I got my email from Comixology yesterday allowing me to choose my free Marvel #1's from their failure a few weeks ago. For those that don't know, Marvel announced that you could download every single #1 for free from Comixology. The site crushed under the massive weight of traffic this caused. It was flakey for days, even if you weren't trying to add 700 issues to your cart. So they called it off, but allowed you to sign up for an email when they sorted things out. They sent out an email early this week saying that I was going to get an email with a link just for me to use to choose my issues, which I guess is how they're keeping traffic down. So last night I individually added something like 690 comics to my cart, which were immediately unlocked on my account (even though they gave themselves 12 hours to unlock them).

I'm immediately overwhelmed. Every #1. In no particular order. I don't know what's current, what came first, anything. I'll poke around for a bit with them, I probably won't buy ANY #2+, but I love having a collection, even if it's digital and could disappear if licensing falls apart.

Suggestions on #1's I should make a priority?
