    After almost 2 years, I'm down to probably a handful of titles (Batgirl, Earth-2, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, World's Finest), and that's getting chopped down when James Robinson's run on Earth-2 is done soon. I quit Green Lantern when Johns left last month. Quit the Flash because it was simply...

    If I pick up Marvel comics nowadays, it's in the $0.50 bins at local quarterly comic shows these days.

    I actually asked Stan Sakai at SD Comicon last July about Usagi, and he also stated that he was taking a hiatus on the title to work on 47 Ronin, but that link explains it quite well, too.

    I remember Saga 1 going for $15 the first week of release in some parts. My LCS didn't order too many shelf copies, and by the time my curiosity was piqued, it was on #3 or #4, and I decided to just trade-wait (and I'm not much of a trade-waiter, but for titles without long runs like established...

    I've had to keep a list in my "smart" phone so I don't robo-buy some of the New52 DC titles I finally kicked to the curb. I think I'm still getting Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Earth 2, World's Finest, Red Hood. I'm backlogged on Buffy and Angel/Faith for now, but...

    I keep meaning to check out the Saga via TPB since the early issues were hard to find from the get-go.

    My enthusiasm for DC's New52 has pretty much waned, probably only pick up about 8-10 monthly DC titles nowadays, and looking to make more cuts. I have been enjoying the new relauch for Valiant, been reading X-O, Harbinger, and Bloodshot. Haven't decided if I want to delve back into Archer and...

    I couldn't believe it when I was saw Optic Nerve 12 on the shelf today. I also picked up more DCnU books than I had planned on picking up, and I still need to track down Animal Man 1, which has garnered some good reviews. Not that I'll stick with all the DCnU titles, but I picked up some...

    I wasn't impressed with at least a 1/3 of what I saw in the DCnU preview book, and I suspect no more than 10-15 will be "good" books from the get-go, but I know they'll have another 20-30 other titles on the bench ready to fill-in for a faltering book or ten.

    I have stockpiled the 3 issues so far from the latest Criminal run, but I hope to get to them soon. I have enjoyed the past Criminal mini's, so glad to hear the latest one is good. I'm just trying to figure out how many of the DCnU titles I'm going to try out in September, perhaps 10 of them...

    Hasn't Millar gotten too big to be working for Marvel nowadays? I read that he's not really writing much of the Marvel crossover events books anymore, rather pursuing creator-owned projects.

    I may check out the new titles on a creative-team-basis, and go from there, but I'm not all that optimistic my interest levels will remain high enough to stick around.

    Don't judge a book by its cover. That being said, I'm more upset about Jimmy Olsen using a kit lens for his photography, he needs a much faster lens.

    While I still get a bunch of DC titles (mainly the $2.99 titles, with just 2 of the $3.99 titles), I'm glad DC held the line at $2.99 (even with the drop in page-count) because I only buy 2 Marvel titles that are $2.99 and won't buy any of their $3.99 titles, no matter who's writing/drawing that...

    DC is getting rid of the backup stories in their $3.99 titles, lowering the price back to $2.99, but along with the other $2.99 titles, the page-count is reduced from 22 pages to 20 pages for all the $2.99 titles starting in January 2011 (the new Previews showed the new DC line-up with the...

    Edward James Olmos was charging $50/autograph at Dragon Con last year as well, and he was getting plenty of business, so it's what the market will bear, I suppose. Thankfully I'm not into paying to get stuff signed (except I do have one photo I want Nathan Fillion to sign for me, but that's...

    I'm dropping most titles that are going up to $3.99, and then picking them up in the dollar bins if I still want them later. I'm guessing that'll shave off about 5-10 monthly titles in the coming months.

    I pretty much get anything that Brubacker and Philips do in comics these days, they haven't let me down (much), especially compared to some of the stuff the Big 2 are slinging out the doors these days.

    I finally read both issues of Incognito, and it's not bad. It plays with the differences in masked personas and how people reacted to "normal" and "out of the ordinary" personas.
