Wondering

I was wondering how many collectors buy new weekly comics.

 

Thanks

Just about still hanging in there, with half a dozen Marvels but no DCs or indies at all anymore.

Gradually switching to TPs, and I don't feel I'm missing a thing.

Did you mean "buy new comics weekly"? B/c I do buy new comics but they are monthly comics

[Mark 1]

No new comics for me.

Some TPBs takes forever to come out *cough* Vertigo *cough*

Nope. I channel whatever money I might spend on new comics into old comics. I'm quite satisifed with how that's worked out.

[VintageComics]

I do when I can. I enjoy reading them but don't often have the time.

I would like to read some, but I'd rather spend my money on old comics.

This is where I've been for the last several years. I occasionally buy new books, but nothing regular, and no pull list. I tend to buy TPBs whenever I need something new to read. The new floppies I buy are generally just for the cover, although the new Warlord of Mars series has me visiting the LCS the last couple of months. It satisfies both as a good read and as collectible covers. Parillo is turning in some fine work for this series.

The only Vertigo title I read in trade format is Scalped. This doesn't seem to take too long at all to make the transfer, but having a very popular writer might well explain that.

By cutting back on new comics I've been able to head in the same direction myself recently.

[mikenyc]

I have restricted myself to a few titles a month. Walking Dead, Crossed and Neonomicon.

[A-DONIS]

But to answer the question..no I don't buy new comics weekly. I save my money for sketch covers.

 

But if there's a decent issue, I'll buy it.

[mpt6974]

I pretty much only buy them. Never been interested in the older comics.

 

It's my cup of tea, which is quite different than everyone else on here but I'm not worried

 

There are some really good series out there. Li'l Depressed Boy, Who is Jake Ellis, TWD, Scalped, Orc Stain, etc...

 

The problem is just finding your way past the 500 superhero variants/crossovers/deaths in Marvel/DC drek.

I have a small pull list at a LCS. Titles I've been buying for so long it is tough to

give up on them. I'm sure I could pick them up cheaper at local shows but I

believe it is important to support my LCS.

[Jonesin4Comics]

I buy new books every week. Most mainstream just because I like them. Others I'll get if they interest me. Twilight Guardian is pretty good and the cover artist for #1 has the same name as me, so I felt obligated to buy it
