I couldn't. I had already bought too many issues to drop out. No way I'll be getting the next weekly series, though. I'm looking forward to those four spots being free'd up. It's also really picked up since issue 18 or so. Does it justify the money I've spent on the series? Hell no, but I think the last issue will be good.

Wow. You guys read WAAAYYYY to much DC.

I do read quite a bit of Marvel, I'm just in a transitionary period from floppies to trades. That being said, all of the monthies I'll still be getting are DC (except for Da' Goon) because, and this is coming from a long time Marvel Zombie, I enjoy DC's books a lot more than Marvel.

Ah, the collector's mentality.

A word of advice, friend: it's never to late to drop a book. The only way publishers know that their book was a failure is by sales. We on the Internet can bitch all we like, but if sales are high (or even good) then everything we moan about is moot. When a comic sucks, no matter how many issues you've collected before, stop buying it!

Same here. The reason Ultimate Spider-Man, Daredevil, New and Mighty Avengers, Iron Fist, Punisher MAX, Punisher War Journal and Captain America aren't on my list is because I recently switched to trades on those titles. Otherwise my Marvel order would dominate the DC books.

Totally agree. That's why I dropped Amazing Spider-Man. :happy:

With Countdown, it might not have been the greatest comic ever made, or even average, but there are parts of it I have enjoyed and it's really picked up since issue 18, so I'm going to see it to the end. Like I said previously, I won't be getting the next weekly, but if response is mostly positive, I may pick up the eventual trades.

After a look at Previews and the DCBS spreadsheet, here's my initial order. But as always, reds might get cut:

Daredevil by Bendis Omnibus, volume one

Dark Ivory #2

DC Universe: Zero

Final Crisis #1

Green Arrow / Black Canary #8

House of Mystery #1

Invincible Iron Man #1

Man with No Name #1

New Avengers: Illuminati TPB

Nightwing #144

Previews

Proof, volume one: Goatsucker TPB

Robin #174

Secret Invasion #2

Sky Doll #1

Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite TPB

Uncanny X-Men #498

X-Factor #31

Youngblood, volume one: Focus Tested TPB

Zorro #4

DCBS is offering Youngblood: Focus Tested for only $4.99, which is a steal. However, I've already ordered the four issues it will collect, so I'm not sure if I'll grab the trade. Maybe I will, then I can sell the issues on eBay. We'll see.

Despite the creative teams, I might stay away from DC Universe: Zero and Final Crisis. Countdown left such a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know if I can deal with another DC event right now, especially one that stars a villain I've never heard of before. I mean, who the fuck is Libra, and why should I care?

Oh, and on the topic of Final Crisis, and DC Universe: Zero, definetly pick both of those up. It's a little over $1 total for both issues (even cheaper if you use the crisis8 code on your order). If you wind up not digging it, well you only lost a buck. Although i don't see how it can be bad it's Grant Morrison writing it.

I'll tell you what Mike, if you buy the 2 issues and wind up not digging it, I'll send you the damn $1.12 lol.

Wow! This is my smallest DCBS order ever.

The Complete Next Men, volume one TPB

Daredevil by Bendis Omnibus, volume one

New Avengers: Illuminati TPB

Previews

Robin #174

Youngblood, volume one: Focus Tested TPB

Recently I made the decision to switch from monthly issues to trades, but I wanted to make the change slowly. So that's what I've been doing these last few months; I've been gradually weaning myself off the addiction to "floppies." Not only is it a matter of saving money (trades cost less), but also space (trades aren't as thick as six comic books). With the exception of Robin (which I'll continue to order), this month marks the first month I've ordered nothing but collections and graphic novels. It seems... odd.
