How often do you go read your old comics?

Title says it all. How often do you go back and read all the comics you have collected over your life?

Right now I'm re-reading Punisher War Journal. I own the whole series. I forgot how good it was.

What about you?

Depends on the storyline. Some I might pull out once a year, others I may not have read since they came out. Usually read TPBs instead of back issues, easier.

I'm on a second run through of about 15 titles each from The Big Two. I read them by cover date, completing one month of each title before moving onto the next month. I started from January 1955 and am now at July 1966. To me, it's interesting to see how each company changed over time. Where I am right now in the reading, 1966 Marvel seems to just be committing line-wide to the idea that readers of the time were older, staying with titles longer, and seemed to value richer, broader subplots and situations, while DC was still much closer to its early Silver Age habits and tropes. 1966 is still the Silver Age, but especially at Marvel, you could feel the change coming, spreading from Spider-Man out to the other titles.

These days, a lot more often than I'm buying / reading "new" comic books.

For most of my life, I used to re-read my comicbooks over and over again. Nowadays, I try to re-read less, to leave more time to new comics and books. Still, I love to go back and read stories I like (and some that I dont't)

When I was a kid, I re-read the comics we had a lot because there was no internet,etc. I still will go back and re-read a series I enjoy. Marvel Unlimited makes it much easier these days then going through long boxes. And I have a number of TPBs and volumes of the Marvel Masterworks. A lot depends on the writer and the characters involved.

Same here. I re-read everything I bought at least once before the next issue came out. Once all this adulting stuff kicked in, that went by the wayside. Now, I can't keep up with new books, and I'm always a month or so behind. Can't remember the last time I had the time to re-read something before the new issue hit the stands.

And sometimes I buy stuff and then don't get around to reading them. I have the 2 TPBs of Hickman's Black Monday Murders to get to some day!
