    Default My pull list is tiny now. Is it just me?

    Hi guys.

    My pull list has never been this small. I just wonder if it's just me or things are particularly bad this year regarding quality? So... the question is, are you reading the 9 main regular titles and why?

    1. Justice League: Yes, I have enjoyed Venditti's issues (I read them cuz i loved his Hawkman), but mainly because Snyder's run was painfully awful. Can't wait to NOT buy Metal. Venditti leaves with issue 47, so i will drop the book.
    2. Superman/AC: My god, Bendis is so bad. Dialogs are stupid, drops ideas out of the blue, too many crossovers, never gets anywhere. And AC has JRJR on it, my least favorite artist ever So, big NO.
    3. Batman/DC: Yes, I like Tynion's work. Haven't read īTec.
    4. Wonder Woman: Nope. I love the character but her solo series are so boring I only like the one by Azzarello, which seems to be hated by hardcore fans.
    5. The Flash: Nope, Williamson is so bland and generic. Can't wait for a new writer.
    6. Green Lanten: Nope, I liked season 1 and Blackstar, but not enough to continue. It's a little too weird and it focuses too much on the "police" side of the Corps. I'm a huge GL fan and thatīs why I'm worried.
    7. Aquaman: Yes, very good job by DeConnick.

    So out of 9 books I'm only getting 2. I usually get 7 out of those. Is it just me?

    What about you guys?

    I am probably reading more DC then I have in a while (I'm exactly 50/50 Marvel and DC) but I'll just talk about the 9 yo mention:

    1) JUSTICE LEAGUE - I'm enjoying Vendetti's issues (I also enjoyed the scope of Snyder's too) and I'm excited to see Williamson take over. I really enjoy JUSTICE LEAUGE DARK and ODYSSEY too
    2) AC/SUPERMAN - I don't read SUPERMAN but I'm actually enjoying (to my own surprise) Bendis ACTION despite not being a fan of Romita Jr's art
    3) BATMAN - Couldn't tolerate King's run but I look forward to reading Tynion's in trade, I enjoyed his DETECTIVE run.
    4) I'm enjoying Orlando's run but when he goes so do I
    5) THE FLASH - I love this title, I'm more a Wally then a Barry fan but I like what Williamson has done with the Flash family and he's made me like Barry more then I have before.
    6) GREEN LANTERN - Not for me, I'm more of a fan of the Corps then Hal
    7) AQUAMAN - Read in trade and I love it

    My pull list is the lowest it’s ever been and consists of one book (Far Sector). I’m not pulling any of those titles. I never was interested in Metal and that carried over to Justice League. Bendis’ Superman didn’t hold my interest. I dropped Batman after I Am Bane. Not a fan of Tynion’s work. So, I’m still not picking Batman up. Lost interest in Wonder Woman after Rucka left. Got tired of Williamson’s Flash run and finally dropped it during Year One. Reading Green Lantern and Aquaman on DC Universe. So, I’m a year behind. But I don’t feel compelled to go out and catch up and put them on my pull list.

    Haven't been interested in DC for some time. Mainly because my favorite characters are no where to be found. My list varies from 1-3 titles from DC.
    AKA FlashFreak
    Favorite Characters:
    DC: The Flash (Jay & Wally), Starman- Jack Knight, Stargirl, & Shazam!.
    MARVEL: Daredevil, Spider-Man (Peter Parker), & Doctor Strange.

    Current Pulls: Not a thing!

    My pull list has also been pretty slim as of late and is only going to get smaller with the cancellation of Shazam and me losing interest quickly in Legion of Super Heroes. Anyways, see my signature for what I'm currently collecting. I sure wish we'd get some new books from DC starring the Justice Society, the Titans(adult team), Black Lightning, Vixen, and Dr. Light(Kimiyo Hoshi).
    Currently(or soon to be) Reading: Alan Scott: Green Lantern, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Jay Garrick: The Flash, Justice Society of America, Power Girl, Superman, Shazam, Titans, Wesley Dodds: Sandman, Wonder Woman, & World's Finest: Teen Titans.

    I haven't pulled anything in 2020. I want to. DC is the only form of comics that interests me, but nothing has brought me to go buy anything. Definitely not a great output right now.
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    Yeah I’ll admit mines smaller and getting smaller not because I’m less interested but the stuff I follow has either ended, about to end, or were mini-series. I hope to see it grow once Death Metal is done, and regular Nightwing returns.
