Making Time For Comics
June 21, 2013 8:05 pm Great article.
I'm similarly occupied with a family and job, so I only read what I really enjoy. If the books starts piling up, I make cuts.
I also read at night, usually before bed.

Marvel: We’re at NOW! Now
November 26, 2012 7:21 pm I'm dropping all my Marvel titles except Captain Marvel.
I'm not a Marvel NOW! hater or boycotter; I might pick up Avengers Arena.
Going to stick with my DC titles and use the extra money from my comic budget to explore other titles and publishers.

How Much Will You Pay?
November 19, 2012 7:36 pm I'm slashing several comics to fit my personal budget.
Most 3.99 books or series with spin-offs (I feel like I have to read them all) will be cut.
I'm using Marvel NOW! as a jumping off point; I want to wait and see what's good and also look into other books.
My goal is to spend less and read what I really enjoy.

Marvel’s Next Big Thing: Joe Keatinge Awakens Morbius the Living Vampire
November 18, 2012 9:25 pm Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Short response: Was worried about continuity / renumbering, but makes sense, AND not a Marvel hater / boycot, just playing wait-and-see.
Long response / my CSB: Thanks, Mr. Montgomery for explaining the Marvel NOW! movement succinctly. Even when I've asked my local comic store owner about it, he wouldn't give me a straight answer; he's a great guy but a bit of curmudgeon, especially about any major changes to comic books.
Overall, I was feeling intimidated by Marvel's renumbering of several titles and had worries that I would need to be familiar with AvX or several previous story-lines in order to understand what was going on if I jumped into a new title.
Additionally, I've lost interest in several of the Marvel comics that I have been reading, so I see Marvel NOW! as an opportunity to jump off and evaluate Marvel titles. I did something similar when DC relaunched with the New 52, and some of the books that I picked up from that are among my favorites. I also intend to spend less on comic books altogether.
I might get some Marvel titles, but I plan to wait and see what's good.

Marvel’s Next Big Thing: Joe Keatinge Awakens Morbius the Living Vampire
November 16, 2012 5:40 pm I'm about to drop all things Marvel (the whole Marvel NOW! thing just confuses me), but I've always been a fan of Morbius.
I'm torn!
@MisterKyleW: A black and white book would be fantastic!

November 13, 2012 5:48 pm I'm in.
I know nothing is permanent in comics, but I find the high stakes here appealing.
