How Often/Much Do You Buy?

My question is this. For those who buy 20+ do you have kids and are married. For a guy who is both married with two kids that many comic books would be ludicrous to buy a month


(This post is in good humor). ;-)

Lol I buy 20+ and I'm a 21 year old college kid. I've also wondered how old the people who post on here are. You guys seen like you've been here a while.

[The Doctor]

I get these monthly, which are all Batman stuff:

Batman
Detective Comics
Batman & Robin
Justice League
Batman/Superman
Batman Eternal
The New 52: Future's End
Earth 2
Batman '66
Batman Beyond Universe
All-New X-Factor

I trade wait everything else. If I'm into the hero/team or its touted as being a good storyline I look into getting the trade of it.

Yeah I am in the same boat, well except that I buy 20+ a month. Sometimes I can't find time to read them before the next new comic day, but really it is 5 or more a week. Less than lunch at some places and these days some comics only take 5 minutes to read.

I buy a digital trade online via amazon bout once a week.

I do not and am not. I guess I've yet to sufficiently impress a lady with my massive piles of comic books (floppies and trades).

I'm 34 and recently married but no kids yet so I'm enjoying the financial freedom while it lasts! I expect my pull list will suffer greatly if we have little tykes running around absorbing all the cash

I polled 0 regarding DC titles. 2-3 combined for other publishers. DC's New 52 almost killed my enjoyment of reading comics to be honest.

However, I use to buy 20+ DC titles before the change.

I've cut down significantly within the last couple of months. I've narrowed my monthly list to around a half-dozen or so, focusing on buying the books that I like and need the most financial support.

Then I buy the trades of just about everything else.

20+

Definitely picking up way more now than the first year of New 52

with certain new titles (Superman/Wonder Woman, Justice League United, Sinestro, Batman Eternal, etc)

and older titles which have become more appealing recently (Detective Comics, Action Comics, Red Lanterns, Supergirl, etc).

Only dropped a few along the way (Batwoman, Batgirl, Batwing, Swamp Thing, JLA).

[Aquadoc]

I chose the 11-15 option. I'm always trying to whittle down my titles, but I keep ending up around the same amount. All but one of mine are DC and I'm still in floppy mode. I also end up buying the Aquaman hardcovers since it can get annoying trying to go back and open up bagged and boarded issues. For those of you going 21+ a month in floppies - how does that work? That's like a new short box every 5 months or so. I have a lot of space, but I'm starting to get antsy about the ever-increasing number of little white boxes piling up around me. I'm worried that I'll someday get buried under them a la hoarders.

[SmokeMonster]

Easy answer: digital.

[BadWolf]

Not counting some back issues I picked up during Comixology sales, I've gotten 15 issues this month and 2 trades. I generally try and limit myself to ~$100 a month for comics though I may have to bust that limit when I finally decide to spring for some absolute editions one of these days.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

6 DC (4 bat books, Aquaman and Superman from #32)
1 Marvel (ASM).

[Dark-Flux]

Per month;
5 DC
5 Marvel (trade for an additional 4 digitally)
12 Image
9 Valiant
1 Dynamite
1 Dark Horse

And 2000AD weekly.
