that is a very viable idea. because with all the books I get (48) a month its burning a nuclear whole in my wallet, & my job is not that radiation proof!

& don't you hate it when you buy your comics at cover price (with LCS discount) & then a month later you can pick up the same comic for a buck @ a convention or flea market!

At some point (around the time Morrison started on JLA) I decided I wouldn't buy that many new books and instead look for them in the $0.25 bins.

I ended up getting many series that way: a year-or-so behind the times, but much cheaper. If you don't have $0.25 bins or the desire to wade through them, most everything from Marvel/DC ends up being collected, and so you can either buy it in TPB at a reduced price or borrow it from a local library.

that cool & stuff but there just certain titles I have to get that monthly fix out of, like Green lantern, New Avengers

other I can wait on (like Hulk)

I was a huge marvel fan (let's say about a year ago), but then I realized they milk any story for whatever they can get out of it. I find myself leaning a lot towards DC now even though I still get 24 Marvel Titles a month & only 15 DC if it come down to picking up only a few I will get my DC first!
