Just cause I'm curious..... Actually that's not the only reason... We have commented at great length about the massive flood of comics on the market. We have done this in conjunction with the folding of Capital Comics, and again in conjunction with the suit that First has against Marvel an Wolrd Press. The basic underlying assumption here is that the "Comic Buyer" has a finite amount of cash, and therefore buys a finite amount of comics. I was wondering if this was true. Now I grant you, this forum is not the ideal cross section of the comic buying public, but its the best I got. So... Please answer the folowing question. 1) How many comics do you buy a week? 2) How do you limit yourself? (Cash or Number of Titles) 3) How many "old standby's" do you buy each month, either for reasons of sentimentality, or for the sake of long collections? Please feel free to answer in as much or as little detail as you like. Send the answers to me, and I will post the results on the net. I am GINO! P.S. I'd love to post my path but I have no clue. You'll have to figure it out for yourself. Sorry, I'm a dumb chemist
