    Default How much do you spend on comic books per month?

    This includes both TPBs, HCs, and omnis.

    I maybe buy 1 collection a month so that could range from £20-£80 depending if it’s a TPB or omnibus.
    I also pay for a Marvel Unlimited subscription.

    Too much. Probably around $200, depending on how trades come out. Not including omnis

    How much for the omnis? I've reached my limit. I splurged on omnis close to 2k within a 2-month period. I'm done.

    Wow. How much is Marvel Unlimited? How do you make space?

    As more things have become available, and I have mostly bought what I covet, the cost has gone down per-month.

    When you start buying books, the material looks endless. I’m glad I hit a point where I usually wait for something to come out that I want. This stuff can get expensive at the outset.

    Since I've started collecting Omni's in late May/early June, waaaaaay too damn much. I'm honestly kinda scared to go and count up just how much I've spent on IST since then lmao

    It’s a digital subscription service...gives access to all (or most) of Marvel’s archives.

    We're both in the same boat! Most omnis I spent were definitely way less than the cover price. I have a record of how much I spent and compared it with the cover prices for each book so I can restrain myself in the long run!

    Way too much. July was an especially big month. 7 omnibus' plus a mix of trades/epics/deluxes/mmw. I now have most available stuff I want so hopefully it goes down. August only has 1 book I want and only a few in Sept so there are peaks and valleys in spending.

    No. But for more “recent” comics I do prefer digital. Anything before the early 90s, I prefer paper. I have bought a few books that are post-1994, but I prefer late-Silver Age and Bronze Age comics.

    We have a weird policy in my family, you pick your own Birthday / Christmas gifts ahead of time. So I can buy hundreds of euro worth of books throughout the year and put them up as my own gift. So I probably spend ~€80 a month on collected editions. However I know I'll get ~€60 of it back.

    When I was buying single issue floppies I was getting between 5-13 books or $20- $55 dollars a week or roughly $100- $150 a month.
    Since changing to just collected books, my total for each month is probably slightly higher, but it could easily have been even more so,
    but because I like to finish a book before getting the next volume or it has really got to be a must own, I have been able to keep it under
    control.
    Lately I have been trying to get a few books 2-3 times a month and usually will have one omnibus ($40-$75) and a few soft/hc books ($7- $17)
    so roughly I probably spend $200 a month now.
