Does the effort of buying comic books on a monthly basis put you off from buying them?

Comic Books, the periodical or magazine variety, are published on a frequent basis ranging from weekly to quarterly. Whole stories usually require buying multiple issues. The whole story can be later collected up in to graphic novels (also referred to as trade paperbacks).

Monthly comic books generally have more ads per capita than the graphic novel. Some retailers require establishing a pull list or even paying for the monthly comics in advance, to ensure getting all the monthly comic books containing a story.

Not really. Every month my store has a list of upcoming titles. I check off the ones I want and they get pulled for me, so all I have to do is go to the store and pick them up every week. Since the comic book store is in the same area as a lot of shopping, I just run my errands that evening and get everything done while I’m out.

What drives me nuts is waiting to see how the cliffhanger ends. That and sometimes titles slip, so I have to wait more than a month for the next issue.
