June 28, 2012 1:32 am Around the time I first decided comics were more than just an occasional habit for me I picked up a subscription to The Amazing Spider-Man and my subscription started one issue before McFarlane's run began. I was so in love with this series at that time. I saw the Omnibus that contains all these issues in the store today. I had a damn hard time exiting the store without picking it up.

June 12, 2012 10:16 pm I'm right there with you. I've had several comics points in my life but the last 12 years or so have been just picking up the occasional trade to complete my collection of some of the Vertigo essentials, like Sandman, Preacher, Y the Last Man and Lucifer. The last few years I've taken my son to Free Comics Day and picked up a trade or two while I was there, but this year I've been going weekly since. I think it was three things that's kept me going: 1) The free iPad digital copy that comes with some of the Marvel titles 2) the amount of highly recommended titles that are just starting out where I can jump on by picking up a couple of back issues and a trade 3) the great writing from Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire. I am in love with my new weekly habit.
