Weekly feature where me and Xylon ask a question and we look to fandom and pros for answers. Stay tuned, every now and then you may see a familiar name.
Question of the week: In what order do you read your comics? Favorites first or last?
Answers
Damion Hendricks: First. Honestly, sometimes I don't even get to the mediocre one.
Lonny Chant: Always. Favorites first.
Aris: I go the other way and let the suspense build. I was going notes when Siege and Blackest Night were out.
Hank Cannon: Favorites last. I tend to want to end on a high note.
John Layman: I read Walking Dead first.
Dion Bickman: I only buy stuff I like. Then I read them in alphabetical order...I have a taste of the good old OCD. LOL.
Brandon Thomas: Always save the best books for last. Don't read books by the same creator back to back. Alternate between solo and team books. But that's just me...
Steve Higgins: Alphabetical
Russell Hillman: I put the best ones at either end of the stack and B-list ones in the middle. I try to avoid reading ones by the same author or starring the same characters back to back.
Stephen Ganschow: I take it week by week. It partly depends on what I bring home. For example-I intentionally wait to buy Amazing Spider-man until there is an entire arc in head - as to lessen the blow of how horrid it is. Even then, I get the arc and wait another month before I read it...as I have to prepare myself for the let down of Brand New Day, thanks to the Epic Fail that is one more day.
Chris Batista: Favorites last.
Graham Scherl: I used to set up my entire stack from "meh" to perceived "must read", and it's only recently so I can get spoilers and reviews up for those must read books immediately.
Chet Presley: Best for last. Always makes them that much more worthwhile.
Will Eco: Normally it's "save the best for last". It depends on the story arc. For stuff that I buy for eyecandy artwork and could care less about story, I get out of the way early as well. :p
Pete Hernandez: Favorites last.

This really goood guys! Now i would like to point out that Chris Batista participated in this. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah. Chris is great. You ever want to see some one draw the New Gods right...he's your guy!
ReplyDeleteYeah, The Legion was damn near perfect as any comic gets.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy individual comics on a weekly basis anymore, so whenever I do either make it down to my local LCS or place an order online, I'll usually have some books that I *REALLY* want to read, and then a book or two that I picked up just because I was mildly curious about it, plus maybe multiple issues of a series that I'd missed in months (like I recently bought the last 3 issues of IRREDEEMABLE all @ once). So the most interesting books get read first.
ReplyDeleteSWEET SWEET!
ReplyDeleteI dont have the stamina to wait. I sometimes dont even drop books I dont like. :(
