We have one of these threads in other forums so I thought we might as well have one here as well. :)
Currently my 'Standing Order' list looks something like this:
I've got Alan Moore's Lost Girls on order from Amazon US, 'cos I'm not yet convinced it's going to get a distribution deal in the UK (due to Gt. Ormand Street's copyright deal).
When I compare what I'm buying now with what I used to get 10+ years ago there's quite a difference. Back then I was getting all the Superman titles, the main Batman titles, Wonder Woman, Sandman, Sandman Mystery Theatre, Cerebus, Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, The Spectre, The Flash, JLA, Spawn, WildCATS, Supreme, Danger Girl, and a slew of other titles. A decision to cut back on comics has meant that the number of ongoing titles I buy now are few and far between and on the whole my preference is for mini- or finite series.
What are other people reading at the moment? Is there anything you'd recommend to others?
