Okay, so I wasn't able to afford comics because I didn't have the money to buy them through the month of October until now. I got my first paycheck, and I was wondering if I should go backtrack all the comic books I missed. Here is the list of them, let me know what I should do.

Batman and Robin # 5 and 6
Superman: WoNK #89
Action Comics #882 and 883
Adventure Comics #3 and 4
Batman #691, 692, 693
Red Robin #5 and 6
Secret Six #14 and 15
Batman: Streets of Gotham # 5 and 6
The Outsiders #23 and 24
Supergirl #46 and 47
Gotham City Sirens #5
Superman #693

    I got out of the singles biz for this reason alone.

    I tend to stick to tpbs now. every now and then i might pick up a #1, but for the most part I have started to prefer trades.

    So I would say 'not to buy'. But that's just me.

    Yeah, I was thinking about trades to, but the wait for the trades to come out is annoying. Although, you know, the whole storage problem with single issues.

    Actually, I was thinking about forgoing all of those and just buying the three volumes of the Annihilation story.

    At least buy Secret Six #14 as it wraps up that storyline.

    Oh, Im totally going to buy those comics too, but probably two weeks from now, when I get my paycheck, And I am probably going to drop The Outsiders and either Gotham City Sirens or Streets of Gotham.

    They only had the second and third volume of the Annihilation story, so I didn't get that. I got Peter and Max fables book instead.

    DC and Marvel do a lot of reprints of older strips in their Essential and Showcase editions respectively!
