How do I quit new comics?

[Gorn Captain]

I just don't like new comics anymore.
Every panel is crammed full with a million details and miles of dialogue.
Every story is as complicated as you can get.
Characters have died and been resurrected at least five times.
Every title has stopped and been "rebooted", destroying the feeling of "history" that a classic title has.

I was still following two X-titles and two Avengers up until now (I used to follow about 30, when I was younger), but these last four are going as well. I will be going after some vintage titles now. Still love those. I found a bunch of vintage comics just this week in a storage box (X-Men 23-25 for example). They were terrific!

I find that the comics from the 80's held more content and dialog then they do now. I'm reading the old Wolverine ongoing series and it's like reading a noir detective story. Lots of information. But I think the pacing was better back then. It all just clicked nicely. And they didn't need multi-crossover-mega-events to tell an epic story. They did it in 3 or 4 issues.

DC is making it really easy to go away from new stuff. Marvel already ran me off with the horrid New Avengers and other assorted crap. The two titles I tried to follow in the new 52 are already cancelled and am trade waiting to finish up Batman Inc.

I'm in the middle on this. I've dropped a lot fo books but also keep with a decent amount. Still cut my spending on new books lot. To that end, drop what you don't like and keep what you like (like All-New X-Men). Simple as that. You won't feel bad about dropping the stuff that no longer interests you but still be able enjoy going to the store to pick up the stuff you do. Also dropping the lame book will give you chance to sample other books you may not have been picking up and would like. If you haven't been reading them you may like Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Men (also written by Bendis) and Wolverine & The X-Men. Basically there is still good stuff out there, it's just far fewer titles.

Just tell him to kill the pull because you're reading older lines. If you want to be super considerate, buy an older book from the bins that you really liked in digital.

ComicRack is awesome, by the way.

I'm a big fan of the Wolverine solo series. The Hama/Silvestri run is great.
