How Often Do You Ever Reread Your Comics?

[Prognosticator]

...I mean, REALLY?

 

[Shuley]

Nope,not at all. I should re-read The Watchmen though.It's a tough read.

 

[Andy C.]

I make it a point to read Kingdom Come and Watchmen at least once a year. Other than that, I peruse through my (admittedly small) collection about once a week to keep myself entertained. There are some issues that I've practically memorized from reading them time and time again, and there are some which I haven't touched since buying them.

Really, it depends on whether or not the story is worth re-reading.

 

[The Shredder]

Yeah, there are some I re-read here and there, and some I just read once and never have the desire to pick up and read again. Like everyone else, I have certain issues/storylines/trades/one shots that I enjoy, and re-read atleast once a year, and sometimes if time permits, I will want to read a particular writer's run on a certain title/superhero. Just depends on mood, like, and interest at the time.

 

[CConn]

Once in a blue moon.

Generally, I'd rather - and need to anyway - read new comics.

 

[souloffire]

All the time since I don't buy new comics.

 

[Manic]

Every now and then, I like to go back and reread a miniseries or a favorite arc from a certain book. I don't know how many times I've read Doctor Strange: The Oath recently. Of course, one of the main reasons I reread comics is because I need something to do during my lunch breaks at work, and that particular week's new books only last me 2 days.

 

[Prognosticator]

I need to adopt a "lunch-reading" habit at some point. But I don't know....I'd rather surf the net.

 

[PhotoJones]

I don't have any kind of regular time frame, but I do reread comics. Like if an issue is late, I might read the previous issue beforehand just to catch up again. Or if I just feel like rereading a storyline, I'll do it.

car journeys, long haul trips, quiet times....

but saying that i have plenty that i haven't even finished reading yet (i just glanced over while in the shop) and others that i've only managed to really read once...

but the same goes for a dvd collection, how often does a collector of anything get to indulge in all the things he has collected. For most parts, it becomes a part of a whole rather than a single worshipped entity.

 

[Prognosticator]

True. But comics is more niche than DVDs, and dare I say, more expensive!

 

[Elijya]

My trades I do all the time. My back issues rarely.

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

reread? whats next open my toys and "play" with them?

 

[GNR]

Monthlies pretty every 2nd day or maybe everyday.Fit in a little time frame when I'm not busy with homework,eating,working out or hanging out.Anywhere from 10 mins to 15 mins.

*Sums everything up perfectly*

 

[Prognosticator]

So the consensus is you all don't?

...Should we stop buying non-TPBs??

 

[The Leaguer]

Every few minutes.

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

rereading my comics would cut into my *********ion time.

 

[Steve Rogers]

I re read them all the time. I prefer it. The story unfolds better if you're not waiting a month between segments. Once I get a decent sized run together I re read them over the course of a night or two. I get so much more out of it that way. And some old story lines like TMNT Vol. 1 or the early Gen 13 stuff I've read quite a few times. I also re read books and re watch movies. If I wasn't going to read a comic more than once I wouldn't buy them. I'd either download them or borrow from friends.

 

[Prognosticator]

I don't have any friends to borrow comics from

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

there can only be one hardcore comic geek in any group of friends.

What are you talking about? My best friend is a hardcore comic geek and I'm a hardcore comic geek. There's two in our circle of friends. And everyone else we know pretends to be a hardcore comic geek. It's weird, I've got friends who don't own a single comic book and claim to love comic books. Go figure.

Who my friend who I go to the 10 different comic stores with while we both drop $400 on comic excursions with? The same friend who has a dozen long boxes in his house? The same friend who I borrow comics from?
