    Default Does anyone else skip issues they’re not interested in?

    If I’m reading a comic and I’m not interested in certain issues I’d skip them. Does anyone else do this?

    Depends on how much I enjoy the series overall; if the issues in question are part of an on-going story line or not; if the issues are written / drawn by the regular writer and artist or not; etc.

    Not often nor all of the time, but it does happen. Many times it might happen in ensemble books and the next storyline has 4 characters I simply dislike so I might skip that storyline.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    Not really. If I'm not interested in an ongoing, I'll drop the book. If I'm reading an older trade or collection of single issues, then I'll just read what I bought, since I bought it for a reason.

    Not really. Sometimes there is a one issue comic story with bad art thats a filler every here and there but cause it's just 20 something pages I would read it.

    Sometimes. If it's a really good run that has me hooked, than I'll keep buying it even if the writer is puts out the odd boring issue.

    If it's a run I like but could live without, I'll skip issues, and than eventually drop it until it looks interesting again.
