If I want to read any of the major titles, I'll check out the collected paperback in bookstores. Besides, the comics that I used to love like Spiderman, X-men, etc. have so many convoluted stories with alternate universe that some times it is not worth it any more. Writers are allowed to totally reinvent storylines, character's personalities and some extra B.S. I'm not messing with. In addition to that, I picked up a healthy appreciation for indie titles and comics that didn't center around men in tights.<br /><br />I only stick with a few titles, very few. I was loyal to 100 Bullets, but now I'm on my Unknown Soldier kick. Some times I'll O.D on comics, but I have to stick to my budget. <br /><br />I'll complain away . . . I'm having a so-so day.Vee (Scratch)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06565744565399935705noreply@blogger.com
