Do you buy new?

[Schmakt]

I bet some form of this has been asked before... but I'm wondering what the buying habits of this board are... Do you buy new comics off the rack or just collect vintage stuff?

Is Ice Cream slang for crack?

I only buy a couple of select titles and the odd book that may interest me

[bronzilla]

Jona Hex..Conan And Walking Dead. Thats it Cut ties with all the other superhero C@%P when they killed Captain America, and the Facsists won the Cival war.

Since i`m soon to drop AMS i won`t have any regular books left to buy but new avengers and those are getting a bit boring,also i like the artist work but i don`t think he`s a match for an avengers title with that style of his.

I am about to catch up on JSA but most likely i`ll read the comics i have then switch to trades on that one if i like it.

[Mr.Diggler]

I read quite a few monthly titles: Walking Dead, Jonah Hex, Fables, Jack of Fables, The Boys to name a few. There are a few others that I will surely drop. Does everything have to be A MEGA CROSSOVER EVENT!

I still love to read the new releases --- I probably buy about 25 titles each month. Mostly Marvel, with a few Image and Vertigo for good measure.

They're still producing new comics???

You're not that old, Nick

 

I only buy Uncanny X-men and Astonishing X-men.

[superman20]

I buy 5-6 new comics per month

[thirdgreenham]

I used to buy a lot of different books, then I cut back to about 6 titles. Bendis stuff. Then I figured, still too much money that's going into a pit and never coming back. Now I'm extremely happy that I don't buy moderns and I can put that cash into some older books that are very enjoyable and actually have potential to get me my money back or sometimes more.

So you are missing out on the whole WWH, Thor's return and the new Skrull replacement sagas?

 

I gotta be honest, it has been nice seeing Stark getting his metal butt handed to him in every major title - including his own (thumbs u

[Ringfinger]

Unfortunately, I buy way too much.

[CAP Freak]

I used to buy one comic a month (New Avengers) but my LCS closed down and now every time the new issue of New Avengers comes out I wear all black to mourn my old LCS.

It's all about the sundaes dawg!

 

 

 

 

[john72tex]

I buy around 50 new books a month plus what I can afford in Original Art and Silver or Golden Age books.

[Shadow]

I buy too many new titles every month due to my disease "Completionist's Syndrome". You know you have it when you're buying a title yet not reading it, only glancing at it for 30 seconds.

 

If Spock hovered by me he'd be crying out about "the pain".

Wow, that's a lot of books. Do you read them all each month, or do they pile up?

[Duffman_Comics]

Haven't bought a book from the stands since the "Great Disappointment" of 1992.

 

Sure, if a book is recommended I'll chase it up, but and in almost all cases keep it. Sometimes I have to pay a little more for some of these books that have now got "hot".

 

Even if the thing is currently white hot, I still wait and can usually get those issues very cheaply once the title cools off.

 

All in all, though, the fact that I am not buying something every month, that I am not reading or enjoying, means I come out ahead on the balance sheet.
