I think, since I'm buying fewer trades than single issues (not six three-issue Blackest Night tie in mini-series, but two Blackest Night collections of those mini-series), I have the impression (real or imagined) that I can purchase more magnanimously.<br /><br />But on the other hand, I have all but dropped JSA after Johns left since the title's new direction didn't grab me, though I intend to get the collections of the new issues on the cheap somewhere down the road.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-17210405186423955072010-06-03T05:43:35.242-05:002010-06-03T05:43:35.242-05:00I wonder if I'm the only one who looks for jum...I wonder if I'm the only one who looks for jumping off points with runs as often as others. I left Booster Gold with the departure of the Johns/Katz team, but this strikes me as another point where someone might call it a day with this title.<br /><br />This also works in reverse as I often start collecting a run when a creator decides to leave since it suddenly has a finite length - case in point Gail Simone's impending departure from Wonder Woman now means I know there is only 6 trades in her complete run. <br /><br />Casually surveying the reviews on this site it looks to me that our principle reviewer is much more character-focused, whereas I'm creator driven.Hixnoreply@blogger.com
