Shows how subjective these things are.

Modern books are slick, but often seem soulless. I find computer coloring and other digital techniques have introduced a sort of uncanny valley into the experience of reading that is distracting.

Part of the joy of comics is that your imagination does the work to fill in details between panels.

It's back up. I swapped about 15 books. Added some Green Lanterns and 'Tec 568-571...

I took it down for a bit to change up some things. It should be back up next week. I will post here when it is...

Interesting. Would love to see some of your data. 

How do you account for risk and volatility, though? 

In stock investing, this seems anbalagous to buying a stable blue chip vs. buying an IPO.

Taking your argument to the extreme, one should focus on buying Moderns because they appreciate even more quickly.

It seems like a safer (but potentially less lucrative) approach is to diversify, rather than just buying from one era.

I'm looking forward to your Journal. I ready the Alan Moore run back in the day, mostly as they came out. Never read the Pasko stuff or Wein, but I've started picking up some of the pre-Moore SotSTs out of curiosity. I think reading the pre-Moore stuff will help put into context how groundbreaking Alan Moore's take was. For me, this, and Miracleman, are actually more enjoyable to read than Watchmen. 

When you're done with Moore, the Veitch run is worth a look.  Also, I kinda liked the Morrison/Millar stuff.

Since then, it seems like writers have really struggled with the character. And DCs attempts to integrate him into the DCU don't seem to have taken root (sorry).
