I got to talking about my recent need to cut my comic buying down a bit in the Amazing Spider-Man thread, so when BW wanted to know what I buy, I decided to bring it over here:
What in the name of Linda Danvers do you even
buy with seventy dollars? That's more than twenty comic books. Did more than twenty comic books even come
out this week?
Okay, so this is the list of things I would've bought. Things I dropped or didn't pick up are in italics.
DARK HORSE COMICS
STAR WARS LEGACY #20 $2.99
DC COMICS
AUTHORITY PRIME #5 (OF 6) $2.99
BLUE BEETLE #24 $2.99
FABLES #70 (MR) $2.99
JACK OF FABLES #20 (MR) $2.99
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #13 $2.99
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES #39 $2.99
UNCLE SAM AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS #6 (OF 8) $2.99
IMAGE COMICS
INFINITE HORIZON #3 (OF 6) $2.99 (I didn't see this at my shop. I would've bought it if I had.)
URBAN MONSTERS #1 $3.50 (Likewise, I didn't see this. I probably would've at least flipped through it if I had, but I don't know if I would've bought it.)
MARVEL COMICS
BEST SELLING AUTHORS SAMPLER PI (Still got this, since it was free.)
CAPTAIN AMERICA #35 $2.99
DAREDEVIL #105 $2.99 (Alas, I was meant to start reading DD monthly with this, but I guess I'll have to put it off for later and pick up the trade sometime.)
NEW WARRIORS #9 $2.99 (Good, but not really good enough to warrant buying when I'm making cuts.)
SHE-HULK 2 #26 $2.99 (Same as above. Shame, too, since it seemed like PAD was starting to hit his stride with it.)
SPIDER-MAN WITH GREAT POWER #2 (OF 5) $3.99 (As interesting as a tale from Peter's early days might be, I've got enough to buy for the present-day stuff that's actually building new stories.)
THOR #6 $2.99 (Ha, like I'd ever drop this.)
THUNDERBOLTS INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT $2.99 (Thought I'd give it a shot since it's Ellis-free, but I can't give anything a shot at the moment.)
WORLD WAR HULK AFTERSMASH DAMAGE CONTROL #2 (OF 3) $2.99
X-MEN FIRST CLASS VOL 2 #9 $2.99
X-MEN LEGACY #208 DWS $2.99 (I bought this issue, but after reading it I don't know if I'll continue with the next one. It was all right, but I could do without it.)
YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #2 (OF 6) $2.99
COMICS
CLOCKWORK GIRL #3 (OF 4) $1.99 (Didn't see it, would've picked it up if I had.)
HIGHLANDER WAY O/T SWORD #3 $3.50 (Although this was actually much better than the ongoing series, I can't even justify Highlander comics to myself
when I'm on a budget.)
MEGAS #1 (OF 4) (MR) $2.99 (Looked interesting, but I didn't see it at the shop. Probably would've skipped it if I had seen it, anyway. It didn't look that
interesting.)
