Comic Geek Confession: I don't buy very many single issues anymore. I'm too impatient to wait for story. I'm all about the trades these days.

@squerk But waiting for a trade technically means you're waiting longer than you would have to if you kept up with each issue. 🤔

@electrotamitha True true, but I get the story all in one go. :) It's the waiting between issues I've gotten impatient about. I'll just blame cellphones, because, why not? (They're any easy scapegoat. lol)

@squerk
I adore how tidy trades are (no, I don't enjoy bagging and boarding, why do you ask?) as well as getting the arc all in one go, but I worry not buying the single issues will doom the trade to never be released, and occasionally the floppy has really great back matter......so conflicted...

@MissSnarkerson I know what you mean! It's so conflicting. I do occasionally follow a comic for a while by buying the issues, but not like I used to. I am much more likely to buy singles from indie publishers and self publishers. At cons, I go right to the Artist Alley.
