Current Stats as of End of March & Organized List of Reviews

March was a great month with a total of 36 individual reviews from 11 different participants.  There is still very little repitition of titles read, though a handful have now been read by more than one participant plus this month we have a reader choosing to read the original French versions and another an original Argentinian edition.  I'm so delighted at the variety of graphic novels reflected on the list that this year's particpants are making.  We're running the whole gamut from kid's comics to very Adult material, from superheroes to non-fiction travelogues.  Check out the list below our stats.

Here's who has started the challenge and how far along they are.  Congrats to Tom for moving the most up through the ranks this month!  We have a couple people who have just joined us this month, and an original participant who has just started the challenge.  Good for you!  Everybody else .... Let's get reading!
