    I started out with like 4 books, but now I get:

    Nova
    Moon Knight
    Ghost Rider
    ASM (which is now 3x monthly, joy)
    USM
    Green Lantern
    Green Lantern Corps
    New Warriors
    Invincible
    Immortal Iron Fist

    And I try to grab a Runaways trade every month, too. I've got the first 4 so far. The next trade on my list is the Irredeemable Ant-Man digest.

    Yeah thankfully I've got a pretty good paying job considering my bill cost. $445 for rent, $30 for electricity, $100 for cable & internet, $95 car insurance, and $200 for groceries/gas monthly split two ways combined with the fact that I make about $2,000 a month leaves lots of disposable income. The scary part is that my folder list used to be a lot longer but then I realized I was reading a ton of stuff that I didn't give two shits about. It really showed when I moved about 60 comic book auctions on ebay over the course of a couple of months.

    Invincible
    Booster Gold
    Fables
    Astonishing X-Men

    are the only singles I pick up right now but thats cuz I usually pick up trades when I go to the shop. I still have a lot of catching up to do (like Y:The Last Man for instance).

    I pick up trades on occasion of older stuff that I wasn't reading when it first came out. I'm always excited when I see things like Emperor Joker or Our Worlds at War in trade...I wish they'd put out Last Laugh in trade though. I suppose I'm the only one who doesn't read Y: The Last Man. I almost don't read it out of spite because people always shove it in my face.

    Yeah I probably read too much but I pretty much like all of it. The new Hulk series will be on a short-leash with me though since I wasn't a fan of WWH. I may end up not reading Aftersmash: Damage Control since it involves the Chrysler building becoming sentient and running around....thats just too silly even for me.

    Don't turn to the internet for a purely personal decision. What do you not read? What do you think is shit? Keep what you like and trash what you don't; simple as that.

    No, apparently they know, but they can't give me a big list or anything for me to check from time to time. You also have to be really quick at getting new things on your list as soon as they're solicited, or you're pretty much guaranteed to miss the first issue (from your reservation box, at least).
