Scaled back my pull list

[comicseekers-migration]

I'm thinking of saling back as well.

 

80-100 books per month? Wow! That's alot!

 

I've got roughly 20 and I think that's way too many.

For me, it is too many titles. I'm seriously 3 months behind. I come home with about 25 books every week. And a few back issues sometimes. Since I can only read books about once a week and only about 5-6 at at time, you can see why I'm behind. Not to mention, I was buying a lot of things that have been crappy for some time now. It's been good all-around. Right now, I'm probably down to 65!!! Happy! I know, it's still too much.

I honestly couldnt find 60-80 books a month to buy. The quality just isnt there anymore. I think I buy like 15 titles a month and I buy online to get a 30-40% discount. With shipping it ends up saving me like $8.00 a month or so. Last month was a heavy month and I saved like $20.00. I dont miss the books for 3 weeks until I get my shipment. I highly suggest going online if arent already if you are buying 60-80 books a month. The cost is just ridiculous anymore I love my comics, but 3 months down the road almost all of them can be had for 50% of cover alot of times or less anyway. I try 1 new title every month to see if I can get into it.

World War Hulk X-men

Uncanny X-men

Trials of Shazam

Black Canary - New Pick up

The Spirit (On danger list)

 

Wow. In my opinion, this book has been phenomenal. Kind of captures a bit of Batman but in a fun (non-dark) way.

 

Anyone else liking this book as much as me?

I'm a fan, it's been great. I especially like issue 5 with the female CIA agent. A refreshing read compared to the norm.

[WOXL]

Yup, one of my favorite books out there! It also got me sucked into the original Eisner Spirit series (lovingly collected in the Spirit Archives collection). It's really just so much fun and I always anticipate seeing the double page "Spirit" logo spread. Some of them have worked really well (like issue 5) while others haven't. I felt the last issue didn't quite hit the mark but I'm still really enjoying the series. Supposedly one of the upcoming issues is going to feature four 8-page stories by various comic luminaries.

Yes, Spirit also makes my current short list:

 

Batman (only when Morrison writes it)

Detective (only when Dini writes it)

B&B

GL

JLA

JSA

Spirit

 

I'll get the Donner/Johns/Kubert Action Comics if they ever come out again.

 

TPB only for Y and 100 Bullets.

 

Now that Millar's Ultimates is done, I'll not be continuing Loeb's vol 3.

But I will pick up Nexus when it hits.

 

Reading some of the online commentary, I'm really glad I got off the weekly series train after the first Countdown issue.

I like well enough to keep on buying it but it still does not hold a candle to the original and for me it's reflecting badly on the current series. Unfortunately, it does not make it in my top 3 books to read every month ...

[followtheleader]

Good to see that it has some following. I don't have the historical bias toward the originals. But I'll likely be picking those up soon due to the positive recommendations. I really enjoyed issue #6. Interesting way to start & end the book. #5 was classic (in a recent kind of way ). Anyway, sorry to derail.
