Today, I drop my comics pull list.<\/p>\n

Completely.<\/p>\n

I’m off the smack. I’m on the wagon. I’m out.<\/p>\n

Money’s a big factor–I’ve been spending way too much on bullshit–but there’s also the huge pile of stuff I’ve bought and haven’t read yet, and the fact that much of what both DC and Marvel are putting out is kinda annoying me, and the whole “wait for the trade” phenomenon, which given my reading pace, makes a whole lot more sense for me.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back, I’m sure. Maybe sooner, maybe later. And trust me–I will have PLENTY to read so I’ll be consuming comics for some time to come.<\/p>\n

I just won’t wait for Wednesdays anymore.<\/p>\n

EDIT: <\/strong>See? I can’t even maintain resolve for a few hours. I just tried cutting it WAY down instead. We’ll see if I can pull that off.<\/p>\n

EDIT 2 (6\/29\/07):<\/strong> Okay, back to reality. My pull list is dead. Long live my pull list.<\/p>\n
