Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Given how misguided and ugly the DC vs. Marvel thread is, I thought it'd be more interesting to see what people are actually subscribing to.

Here's my pull list:

DARK HORSE
1 Conan
2 Samurai Executioner

DC
3 Action Comics
4 Adam Strange
5 Adventures Of Superman
6 Astro City: The Dark Age
7 Birds Of Prey
8 Detective Comics
9 Flash
10 Green Arrow
11 Green Lantern: Rebirth
12 JLA
13 JLA: Classified
14 JSA
15 JSA: Strange Adventures
16 Legion Of Super-Heroes
17 Outsiders
18 Superman
19 Superman/Batman
20 Teen Titans
21 WE3

INDEPENDENTS
22 Wanted
23 Mark Millar's The Unfunnies
24 Wizard The Comics Magazine

MARVEL
25 Astonishing X-Men
26 New Avengers
27 Secret War
28 Spider-Man
29 Strange
30 Supreme Power
31 Ultimates Vol 2

I also read Ultimate Spider-Man and Fables in trades, and grab the occasional miniseries (IDENTITY CRISIS was amazing) and graphic novel (SHIMURA, out on Wednesday.)

I'm *this* close to dropping Strange. Supreme Power is the only real JMS comics work I've liked, and even then I'm not overly wild about it. New Avengers hasn't grabbed me, but I don't have the patience for Bendis titles outside of TPBs (and I hate his Daredevil.)

I'm mostly a DC guy. EVERY DC COMICS FAN SHOULD BE READING ADAM STRANGE RIGHT NOW. I cannot stress this enough. A great title that really feels like sci-fi DCU. And I'm totally enjoying the iconic mainstream DCU titles: Superman/Batman, Teen Titans, JSA, JLA, David Lapham's Detective Comics, the current Superman titles (even Action, although barely), Birds of Prey, and every single DC title Geoff Johns is handling.

Ju?

It may not look it but I just recently dropped a lot of titles which is I rarely do b/c I am so far behind in reading stuff.

I'm not counting mini-series b/c they end (WE3 is only 3 issues, that shouldn't count) Here is what I subscribe to, just copy & pasted from my stores list + some comments added for here:

Breach

I totally agree w/ you Matt about DC. I think the best superhero comic being published right now is The Flash & the most underrated is Wonder Woman.

DC COMICS:

JSA (!!!!!)
Planetary
Green Lantern: Rebirth (Great so far)
JLA Classified #2 (Til Morrison leaves. Might wait for the Trade when I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League begins)
WE3
Legion of Super Heroes (MIGHT wait for the Trade for this one)

IMAGE:

Battle Hymn

PENNY FARTHING PRESS:

Captain Gravity and Power of Vril

MARVEL:

Fantastic Four (Til Waid leaves)
The Ultimates 2



Starting Next Year:

Seven Soldiers and related Mini-Series
VIMANARAMA!

Lately, I've been waiting for the Trades so my weekly comic budget has shifted so some weeks I spend nothing and the next I end up paying through the nose.

Big change from the mid 90s when I was spending near 50 a week.

Liberty Meadows

ABC:
Terra Obscura
Tom Strong (probably done soon)
Promethea (done in a couple of issues)

Wildstorm
Planetary
Ex Machina

I'm grateful some of these titles are coming to an end, and others are just mini's. I'm going to try to get under 15 monthly titles in 2005.

Ok, not sure how much I'm going to forget, but here goes.

DC Comics

Action Comics
Superman
Adventures of Suerman
Superman/Batman
Batman
Detective Comics
Gotham Knights
Nightwing
Robin *
Batgirl *
JLA
JLA Classified
JSA
Outsiders
Teen Titans

Marvel
Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate X-Men
Ultimates
Ultimate Fantastic Four
New Avengers
Astonishing X-Men

I know that I'm missing a few, but that's all that I can think of now.

I read Daredevil and MK Spidey in TPB. I left off all Mini-series with the exception of Ultimates.

* = Thinking of dropping.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Sorry for the thread bump, but it was either that or make a new thread. I thought it would be interesting to see some pull lists from years past. Anyway, what is on your pull list currently?
I'm just getting back into actual floppies. I do most of my reading in trades, but I wanted to also read some current stuff and see what was out there now. So I added some new stuff to my pull list at my local comic shop. Some of it is new series, some are mini series, and some are things that have been around for a while.
Right now, my pull consists of:
All-Star Batman (2016-)
Cage! (2016-)
Dark Knight III: The Master Race (2015-)
G.I. Joe (2016)
Han Solo (2016)
He-Man/Thundercats (2016-)
Jessica Jones (2016-)
Optimus Prime
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra
Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye Revolution
Transformers: Till All Are One: Revolution
The Walking Dead

I'm sure some of that is shit and will be dropped pretty quick, but it's all stuff that I want to at least check out or enjoy reading.

So what's on your pull list

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

All Star Batman
Batman
Dark Knight III
Detective Comics
Flash
Teen Titans

G.I. Joe
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero

Transformers: Lost Light

Invincible
Kill or Be Killed
Lazarus
Velvet
Stargate Atlantis: Gateways
Stargate Universe: Icarus

Moon Knight
Star Wars
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra
Star Wars: Poe Dameron

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I don't even remember starting this thread... or half the books that were in my pull-list. And what was it with the "strange" titles? (Strange? JSA Strange Adventures? Adam Strange?)

The saddest reality is that I stopped reading comics regularly around 2011 (I gave NuDC a shot, and wish I hadn't...).

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

My list has really dwindled

Savage Dragon
Daredevil
The Walking Dead
Invincible

Pretty much everything else I read in trade or digitally.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Funny to see me here too! I'm not out of comics by any means, but I haven't had a pull in years. I am picking up Serenity whenever they decide to put a new miniseries.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

By biggest problem is finding out about the new titles before they actually hit the stores. I've had to play catch up on a couple of titles I was interested in because I didn't know they were coming out. I've been using pulllist.comixology.com to come up with my list of titles each week. I am curious how others find out about new titles and when stuff is coming out.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I haven't looked at it in years, but Diamond posts it's list of everything shipping to stores each week here:

http://www.previewsworld.com/NewReleases

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Yeah that is what I use.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

That is one of the sites I use as well. Just seems like it lists a lot fewer titles than other sites list.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Now I remember why I dont use the Previews website so much for plannign my pull. They dont seem to list any more than two weeks. For instance, right now they only list the week of November 2 and November 9. I like to give my LCS a bit more notice on stuff I want. Usually it is just variant type stuff, but I need to special order those usually, and I like to get those orders in for the month usually by the middle of the previous month.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I haven't had a pull list in decades. I own pretty much everything, but it's just bought later in dollar bins or digital. But I guess I almost sorta have one now, as I've had a monthly order with DCBS for about six months in a row now. It's mostly hardcovers and trades, but I've been buying Micronauts and Rom, and a few Rebirth titles including Justice League and Hellblazer.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

For me previews is more of a secondary source. My primary source would be Image solicits themselves. I make my picks when they come out and then head to Comixology to pre-order the books that I don't already have a subscription.

Previews is just to see which of my books are coming out I a given week.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Only current books I read are TWD and Lazarus and I just borrow them from a friend. I don't buy new books at all.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Well, you can get the physical Previews catalog to see what's coming out in two months (more or less). That's how I order stuff via DCBS, though it's not a free catalog. You can also just peruse the DCBS site, but I still like looking at the pretty solicitations to see if there's something interesting.

But yeah week to week I get an email from somewhere saying what's coming in, based on the Diamond list. I don't use it that much because I rarely go to an LCS.

As an aside, do you like Micronauts and Rom, Trevor? I got a few issues of both, then it got tied into some ridiculous crossover and I realized a lot of my attachment to the characters is their context in the Marvel Universe. And I also realized I don't need or want all the Hasbro properties in a shared universe. I'm giving MASK a try, but having read the Revolution issue it also seems too far removed from the original property.

My current DCBS pull list is

Batgirl
Titans (I may drop both of these)
Betty and Veronica
MASK Mobike Armored Strike Command
Mega Princess
Inhumans vs X
Now Champions
Now Nova
Now US Avengers
Super Powers (for the kids)
Transformers Lost Light

Most of these are brand new, as I for whatever reason desperately try to convince myself that reading these monthly is better than waiting for the trade. Usually a few issues later, or a relaunch/renumber, reminds me that it was foolish to try.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I don't have an actual pull list because my LCS always has what I want, but I use http://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/ pull list feature to keep track of what I own/read/whats coming out in the future, since I read across various sources.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I only keep up with current series via trade: Invincible, Walking Dead, Lazarus, Saga. And I'm even behind on the last two.

Now that I'm digital, I could go current and not have to deal with the floppies, but single-issue pricing is so steep.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Yeah, singles are too pricey.

Trades I follow Now:

The Walking Dead
Saga
Revival
East Of West
Lazarus
Descender
Sex Criminals
The Sheriff Of Babylon (Just started)
Paper Girls (Just Started)
Black Sciences (Just Started)

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

This does nothing for keeping up in real time, but I feel like Image has really spoiled me with their constant digital sales. Right now the only titles I follow for Image in physical form are Invincible and Morning Glories, and only because I collect the large hardcovers (I collect Walking Dead in that format too but I haven't picked up the last couple of volumes since I'm way behind). But because of digital sales I'm pretty up to date (as in I own them, not that I've read them) with Saga, Lazarus, East of West, Paper Girls, Monstress, etc., and I'll probably go for Deadly Class and Black Science when the next sale rolls around. But I really should support some of these a bit more than 99c an issue.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I'm generally at least a year or ten behind in anything I read, but I did read the first three issues of Micronauts. It wasn't great, but was decent enough for me to keep hope alive. I regretfully went all-in on that Revolution crossover, which I expect to hate, but it includes the Micronauts so I had to buy it. I'm hoping to do an IDW marathon the next Challenge compliant month to see what I think of the universe. I'm probably dropping ROM and any tie-ins starting next month though.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

I've considered switching to digital for my Image purchases. Since the TPBs come out so infrequently, I get the new one then try to reread the old one first as a refresher. That'd be much easier on digital. But I've been collecting them for so long that it'd be a big adjustment, and the horizon is in sight for Invincible already. It'd be easier with the new series Lazarus and Saga, though, and I kind of started with the latter already because I got the last (I think) one in a Humble Bundle (or other brand).

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

My List:

Black Science
Black Widow
The Goon - Not much of a commitment since we only get a story every couple years.
Harrow County - My current favorite book.
Lazarus
The Manhattan Projects - May drop since it rarely comes out and has lost some of its charm.
Paper Girls - May drop this one soon. Love the art, but the story isn't working for me
Saga
Sex Criminals
Southern Bastards - Caught up on the trades and just bought my first single issue today.
Stray Bullets - May switch to trades.
Velvet
Wonder Woman

I was reading The Flash but dropped it before the first post-Rebirth storyline ended. I always give the book a chance when they get a new writer but I haven't enjoyed the book in a long time.
Also dropped all of the Hellboy spinoffs after the main series ended.

I'd like to add Bitch Planet to my pull list but the second trade is taking so long to come out that I'll probably never catch up.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

Wait Hellboy is done?

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

KSD and Fraction are the perfect couple because neither one can get a book out on time.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

It ended with the recent Hellboy In Hell storyline. Mignola hasn't completely ruled out the idea of doing more Hellboy stories, but this is it for the foreseeable future. He has stated that if he does do more Hellboy, it would likely only be as the writer with someone else providing the art.

I believe that BPRDand Abe Sapien are also ending soon. (If they haven't ended already.) Hellboy and the BPRD, a prequel title, is still going. I've read a couple issues. It's entertaining but pretty forgettable.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

To those of you dealing with a LCS, how early do you add stuff to your pull and get any special orders in? Meaning, say you want to add a monthly title to your pull, and order any variants that may be coming out as well, when do you go in to the store and add it? I ask, because I was finally able to talk to the guy that handles the pulls and order at my LCS and he was real vague in his answer. Bottom line for me, is I want to get the shit that I want, when should I tell them "this is what I want". I've been trying to stay a month ahead. Meaning, I will bring my list for December in this week.

Are there options to do all this online? Should I switch my special orders to an online soure and keep my main pull at the LCS? Thoughts?

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

How much does your LCS charge for variants? You can order from DCBS but it's two months in advance, and the limited variants are naturally more expensive (but the normal cover variants are listed separately). Only worth it if you order enough that the discount outweighs the shipping cost, plus you'll naturally get your books a little late.

Re: Post Your Weekly Comics Pull-List
 

LCS charges regular price for normal variants. The more limited variants are more expensive if they can get them. Many are based off how many titles they buy, and they may not buy enough to get them. I was checking out DCBS the other night, and I definitely like their pricing. What I don't like is not getting the books week of release. At least at the LCS I can see if they didnt get something release day or pretty darn close, so i have a shot of finding it elsewhere. $6.95 is 40% off 3 and a half DC books, and most weeks would be easily overcome. I may give them a shot, the problem being as you said they are two months out so a smooth transition may be difficult.
