RYV is the only comic I will be getting in single issues, and that's because A.) I want to support the series and B.) It's the first time I've ever followed a series like this before, so it's kind of fun to try. Once that series comes to a close, I won't be getting comics in single format. In fact, if my Ultimate Spider-Man collection and the few random Star Wars stuff I want are complete, I'll probably quit buying comics period at that point.
But, I'm getting both since the trade is important to me and I'm supporting the series. (Besides, some people re-buy the same comic over and over again to get different covers. I think me wanting to have copies of them bound in actual books to go along with my floppies isn't more weird and even makes more sense.)
