I buy alot. Basically stick w/Marvel. Eternals and Xmen really good now

Darth Vicious
1- 90% of my collection is from Marvel. zi buy pretty much every X-title out there, Avengers, Ultimate Xmen/Avengers/Spidey, Amazing Spidey, Ms.Marvel plus a lot more. Non Marvel titles that I read, Girls and Y-the last man. DC titles, Im reading 52 and JLA, mostly because of Ed Benes art.

2- For this question I guess ifu want just one comic then go with "Annihilation" because everything happen in that title. Civil War has toooo many tie-ins!

ThePittman
X-Men and subtitles, Exiles, Tarot, Fables, Majestic, New Excalibur, Conan, Teen Titans, Squadron Supreme and what ever else peaks my interest.

I buy my comics from a store called Lamp Head Comics.

Edit: I also buy quite a few handbooks.

I only buy the graphic novels (which is usualy ok seeing as all the new comics get there eventualy or a couple of months after being published)

Anyway I don't really collect any specific comic tho i tend to go for ones including Spidey Wolvy iron man cap thor Hulk etc.

In other words i just get the newest graphic novels, and generaly any big crossovers.

Rick/Genis

Oh wait... I don't have the money because I go to school sad

Its basically a "what if tale" that has no effect on the current spidey continuity what so ever You can live without it no expression

Manhunter on is a crtically acclaimed book that needs to have more people buy it. So maybe it can get a second repreive from cancelation.

sad

look at it this way if you don't buy SR it won't be affected at all it will still sel at leats probably around 50 to 60,000 copies just becaus eit has the name spiderman

If more people don't buy Manhunter it will still only sell around the 18 to 20,000 copy range and will not get a repreive from its cancelation .

Which is a shame since its one of DC's best books as of right now sad sad sad sad problem is, i don't like manhunter......because like most DC heroes he is overpowered.....

and Reign is actually a good story, i don't buy it just cus it has the name spider-man on it, that was a joke..
