I’m talking about characters that currently have ongoing titles, TBC.
Daredevil is who made me think of this.
I love the character, always have, but haven’t been interested in any version of his ongoing book in years.

None for marvel really. If I like a character I will at least give it a try.
There are several DC characters who I like, but whose books I won't buy since I've sort of given up buying DC after their they rebooted their universe for the millionth time.

Fantastic Four. No ones seems to be able to catch the magic that only a few runs have managed to get

The Fantastic Four. I have never collected the title though I really like the characters. Eventually, I will end up buying runs as the original Kirby-Lee duo, Byrne and Hickman. But I won't be collecting new stories of them any time soon

Probably Iron Man? I don't know why, but none of his books have ever really managed to grab me and honestly, it seems kind of boring compared to other Marvel characters I'd rather read. I do really like the character, though, at least conceptually.

Ghost Rider, he is a cool concept but none of his runs had keep my interest.

The thing with Daredevil is once you read Frank Miller's run...you're done. Daredevil is kind of a "one run" hero. You can toss She-Hulk into this bin too. You can keep reading after that but what comes next is going to be so much like the definitive run its kind of a waste of time imo. I'm not reading DD either but I'm going to guess that...

Thor. I like his movies but I find his comic boring.
Some of us wait, some of us act.

Iron Man has been like that for me. I found Bendis's run frustrating and that was the last time I bought it. Haven't read Slott's run at all. I'm buying Slott's Fantastic Four but truthfully, I don't like his Fantastic Four either. So they sit unread. I may just give up the ghost on the title altogether, and this is something I bought going back to the Lee/Kirby days when my Dad would buy comics home for us to read

Moon Knight, Thor (originally didn't care for the character, but I enjoy his portrayal in recent movies, kind of the same opinion I have with the Guardians of the Galaxy.) Hulk is another hero that I like, but could never get into reading his adventures.

Black Panther
Daredevil
Ghost Rider.
All perfectly fine characters who I don't mind reading aboutin a group setting but have never felt compelled to give their solo series a shot.

Especially the secret identity thing. It’s been overdone to the point of making me nauseous.
