What are the most comics (in quantity) that you can read in a day?

I was curious to find out how many comics forumers here are able to read in day...

The most i've read in a day was 50 comics on a Saturday while trying to knock down a large "to read" pile....and maybe 70 comics during a weekend was a record for me....now I average probably 15 books per weekend...

I once read 4-7 issues of every X-Men series (and I do MEAN every series) that was published to get caught up on before the Onslaught storyline started in one setting. It took me about 3 hours to get through them and I had a headache for a week.

I used to read 25 issues of The Savage Dragon in one setting when I was still collecting the series.

My highest is around that number - I was chugging through Secret Invasion and all its tie-ins. That was a blast!

I've read about 40 in a day before.

My to-read pile tends to grow pretty fast. I am expecting an order later today from DCBS with about another 40 comics in it and I just barely caught up yesterday.

Most ever is around 20/day, when reading the late X-O issues.

On a typical day 4-6 comics/day.

I recently did a readthrough of Green Lantern and Green Arrow, the post-COIE volumes, and at one point, I was reading about 20 issues a day.

Depends... 80's Claremont X-Men? 5 or so... early 90's Image? 100, I'd venture to guess.

The question was READ, not look at.

The most I read on a regular basis is up to five books.

I think the most I’ve ever read in a single day was up to 10-15 comics and that would have been a really strong run such as early Mirage TMNT, early New Teen Titians, Crisis on Infinite Earths, or Batman Hush.

Probably about 5-6. Im not sure about the most I have read in one day maybe 20.

Lately, it's a major day when I read two.

I got through 20 issues of Tomb of Dracula on my nightshift last night. That would have been between 2400 and 0500. Does that give you any idea?

Yesterday just kind of turned into one of those days where I plowed through comics. My total for yesterday was 41.

The first 15 were for an upcoming podcast (Visitor vs. the Valiant Universe 1 and 2, Visitor 1 to 13), then I re-read Carbon Grey 1 and 2 and then I got my DCBS shipment in and read a bunch more. I still have about 16 more comics to read from that shipment.

To READ. Yeah no problem. I think you could read every early Image comic in about 10 minutes

1/2 at this point.

Ever would be around 25. Usually about 2.

If I have a couple of essentials/showcase editions, and the day off, I'd say maybe 50-60. I think I probably *could* read more than that, but I don't know that I have.
