I know more folks are focused on toys than comics here, and most prefer vintage to modern in both, but I am curious who here is still getting new comics and what y'all are getting if you do.
I am picking up a handful of newer books again, though I had stopped for a bit, there were a few things that brought me back.
via direct mail subscription I get Heavy Metal, and from Marvel Dr. Strange & Black Panther (Marvel print subs are 40% off cover price and those 2 were gifts from my wife. She also gifted me a Marvel Unlimited subscription a couple years back and renews it for me on my birthday, so I can dabble in new Marvel if I wish, but I mostly use it to read Gold, Silver and Bronze Age stuff I don't own and for the Star Wars stuff. I don't buy Marvel off the racks any more because of it though, and when the subs to Panther and Doc end, I don't plan on renewing.
At the actual comic shop, I do have a pull list, but it is relatively small...
from DC I get
Future Quest
Scooby Doo Team Up
and I added the Kamandi Challenge to my pull to get it when it starts in January, and I will likely pick up the Wildstorm book my Warren Ells when it comes out next year
from Dark Horse I get
Conan the Slayer
Black Hammer
and I get all the Hellboy/Mignola stuff in trades when it is collected.
I also get the Finder stuff as it is collected, and plan on getting the new Moebius Library editions that jut started.
I am also catching up on Usagi Yojimbo in the Saga editions, but I am a few volumes behind.
and if Francavilla ever does the second Black Beetle series (Necrologue) I will get that too.
from IDW I get
Micronauts
ROM
Frankenstein Alive, Alive (if and when Wrightson's health allows him to get new issues out, it's been a couple years since the last one)
from Image I get
Seven to Eternity
Kill or Be Killed
plus some series I get in trades when collected
all the Brubaker stuff (Criminal, Velvet, etc)
most Warren Ellis stuff (Injection, Trees)
Saga
Lazarus
Five Ghosts
Descender
Age of Bronze
A Distant Soil
and probably some I am forgetting
from Titan Books I get...
any Druillet collections or reissues
the English translations of the new Elric albums done in France under Moorcock's supervision
other miscellaneous stuff I get
Motor Girl by Terry Moore
Sixth Gun by Cullen Bunn (form Oni-recently wrapped up, I just got the last trade)
Stumptown by Rucka from Oni (behind on his catching up)
I am curious what other folks are getting and if there is anything I might want to chekc out that someone recommends (though I have little interest in the Rebirth stuff form DC or most modern Marvel these days; the big 2 just aren't producing a lot that cathces my interest any more).
