Starting a new topic so we don't hijack

I need to rank my list from favorite to least favorite. Maybe that will help me chop.
Yeah, tried that once. You may have better success than I, but for me it was an utter failure.
Too many variables like :
Upcoming comics - Comics not started yet, that I know are coming (SHADOW or JSA)
Upcoming arcs - Comics that have something I want to read (Shazam in the JUSTICE LEAGUE)
Upcoming artist - Simonson on AVENGERS starting at 25 (After I canceled the title)
Upcoming writers - Had no clue about Brubaker's FATALE until it was almost too late
It is just hard to cut back when the future is around the corner and that is not even going into the comics you enjoy now. It is, sadly, the only true way to do it, but damn if it isn't hard. As it stands for me, I am trying to cut $5 off of my order every month. Regardless of amount of titles. That is why a lot of the $3.99 ones are hitting the wayside. I can get more books if I stick to the $2.99 ones.
(But that is also impossible for me to stick to)
I went ahead and tried this exercise and I see what you mean. This is not easy.
Here is my ranked list of ongoings.
1 X-FACTOR
2 WOLVERINE
3 WALKING DEAD
4 UNCANNY X-FORCE
5 NEXT MEN
6 BATWOMAN
7 SCALPED
8 FANTASTIC FOUR
9 SUICIDE SQUAD
10 ULTIMATE COMICS X-MEN
11 BIRDS OF PREY
12 ANIMAL MAN
13 SWAMP THING
14 DAREDEVIL
15 INVINCIBLE
16 BATMAN AND ROBIN
17 GREEN LANTERN
18 NIGHTWING
19 INCREDIBLE HULK
20 X-MEN LEGACY
21 JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK
22 WONDER WOMAN
23 LEGION LOST
24 LEGION OF SUPER HEROES
25 WOLVERINE AND X-MEN
26 NEW AVENGERS
27 AVENGERS
28 JUSTICE LEAGUE
BUT - I have these three that I have ordered and suspect I'm going to like and they will be up in the top part of my list:
BATMAN - going solely on Perry's recommendation but wouldn't doubt that I'll like it
WINTER SOLDIER - Bru writing Bucky is my favorite
SECRET AVENGERS - actually this is currently on but was going to be dropped until they announced Remeder is writing it. I suspect I will love what he does with this team.
Then there's all the mini's I get:
FATALE
WHISPERS
AVENGERS X-SANCTION
RACHEL RISING
SAGA
WOLVERINE AND X-MEN ALPHA AND OMEGA
MAGNETO NOT A HERO
SHIELD
STAR TREK/LEGION OF SUPERHEROES
And then of course, there's the titles I read in TPB.
FABLES TP
MORNING GLORIES TP
One could argue that if I cut out all of the Mini's then my pull list gets more affordable. But is that realistic? Maybe on a few but seems like there's always something that sounds fun and I want to get.
What to do.....what to do......
