The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Maybe. I keep telling myself to drop it, but then I think about all the times I've dropped the X-books in the past just to come back to them and often try to find the stuff I missed.

nothing Gillian is doing should ever be referred to again, and if it is, the internet can be very helpful
I finally get to read X-Men again soon with Brian Wood taking over from Gishler

I buy about 200 books a month I'm a realist that not all are going to be great but I'm a comic book whore.

That's like $700-$800 a month?!?!?!?!

1. What do you do for a living again?
2. Where do you keep them all?


The answer to the question though is none, really. X-men pissed me off a few years ago, so I dropped all of those. There are a few in the grey area, but I attribute that to my bad habit of going to the LCS only about once every 10-12 weeks or so.

I refuse to buy books I don't enjoy.

how many issues do you give a book before you decide you don't like it?
is one bad issue enough?

for me, depending on my expectations, I tend to give books a fair shot
so, if I didn't like 5 issues of a book I decided to give a 6 issue try to its technically a book I buy that I don't like

The incredible hulk.

Once I suffered from buying shitty books, but have since learned better.

Now my threshold is way lower and hardly never go past 2 shitty issues.

[Punchy]

I dunno, probably Superboy.

It's not shit really, it's just that I don't read Teen Titans and the book doesn't make much sense on it's own. Yet I keep buying it because of the 'S' and the nice art.

I like superboy and think they may take him in a superboy prime evil angle with the character.

Maybe, but you said Green Arrow has been terrible from the start and gotten worse each issue or something like that.

I didn't say that...and I don't really have a good response for it lol.

I have been reading Teen Titans as well and believe me, I am just as confused about the progression of events as you are. I feel like I am missing large pieces of the story and I am starting to realize that I care less and less about most of these characters, since they are not the characters that I am familiar with and I really have nothing invested in them anymore.

For me, it's Teen Titans, Superboy, JLI, and Dark Knight. I plan to drop DK after the owls arc and JLI at the end of the current arc. But TT and Superboy... I just WANT to like them so much that I am having a difficult time giving up on them.

[nietoperz]

Justice League and JLI. I'm giving them both another two issues to sort it out before I drop them.

Sweet crap you have money to burn.

[e_galston]

on the DC side its definitely JL, right now i'm only buying it cause i wanna see if it gets better..

marvel side: x-men.. but as been said that's gonna hopefully change soon..

[Zechs]

Thunderbolts. I'm tired of the time traveling arc. It was fun for the first two stories, but the current one just isn't doing it for me. I kind of want a one team dynamic again.
