So ever since DC's The New 52 I've been drawn back into comics in a big way. Too big to be honest. I need to cull my pull list down by about half and I'm looking to get you guys to decide on it for me. Its simple really, if you think I should drop the book then vote for it. The top vote getters will be dropped in the next month or so.

Now this isn't my full pull list, but I'm there are some titles I'm just not dropping.

So, thoughts?

I've barely read any of them. In fact, I think the only comic I'm buying on that list is MORNING GLORIES.
 
Which one do you least enjoy? Drop that one. And so on and on forth.

I voted for all of the comics I have recently dropped/no longer read. I don't miss them.

See I'm still enjoying most of them. Thats why I'm pushing this off on to you guys.
 
From your list?
Keep Fatale
Keep Secret
Keep Morning Glories
Keep American Vampire

Dump the rest (and add Saga and Manhattan Projects :) )

Yeah, it's fine. I don't get the hate.

Same here. It started ok, nothing spectacular, but got boring and repetitive.

I get Saga and Manhattan Projects. This isn't my full pull list, just what i'm concidering dropping.

And I haven't read American Vampire in over a year. And nothing ever happens in Morning Glories. It just adds more questions each month without ever resolving anything.

And I'm just not feeling Fatale. I was really excited for it too.

Okay, yeah.

The last issue was way better than the first arc, which just typified the mindless, decompressed not-worth-the-price-of-admission trend in comics. The new issue was a far sight better, but I didn't really think it was good.
 
I'd suggest dropping them, then - No use buying unread comics (which I've done also) - In general, I've found, if I'm considering dropping titles, I should.
 
So i dropped Superboy and Legion lost today. I don't think I'll drop anything off of next week, its a pretty stacked list.
 
Well, now I've also dropped Teen Titans and Justice League. I stopped ordering American vampire and Hellblazer as well. I'm sure they'll trickle off.

I think I'm going to drop Action too. Morrison hasn't really brought the thunder on it and while the last issue was good I can't justify paying $3.99 for a book thats had one good issue.

Why in god's name did it take you so long to drop the teen books?

I really enjoyed them at the start of the New 52. I tend to give books I get that slouch a little time to recover. The Culling crossover was the last straw for me though.
 
More and more, I'm convinced the industry is solely based on habitual good will from fans desperate for good comics.

Well theres a lot of factors that go into something like that. The direct market and its 3 month ordering sycle hurt it because when you decide you don't want a book theres 3 more months of it coming that you don't want. I don't want to stick my shop with unsellable books but i don't want them anymore. I wish i was close enough to a major retailer for comics that stocked rack copies of everything.

In my case it was a gradual lack of enthusiasim for the books. I did really enjoy both superboy and Teen Titans when they started. Legion Lost was a case of me being a pretty big Legion fan and hoping that I could outlast the series and retain my near complete collection. It got too bad to keep up with.

I wonder how much sales would dip if all the completists that don't like runs would drop them. All the guys who have every Flash or every Green Lantern or get all the X-Men books just stopped buying what they didn't like.
