Wow. Switching to Trades and going digital with Marvel really can shorten the monthly pull. Especially if no TPB's come out that month!
DC COMICS Batman 46 Earth 2 Society 6 Flash 46 - Might drop this one since its the start of a new arc and I'm not sure this current Reverse Flash arc is my cup of tea. Grayson 14 Justice League 46 - keeping throuhg the Darkseid Anti-Monitor War. Martian Manhunter 6 Titans Hunt 2
IMAGE COMICS Walking Dead 148 - I'm gonna stay on floppies through issue 150 then switch to TPB. We Stand On Guard 5 - last floppy then switching to TPB on this one.
MARVEL COMICS Doctor Strange 2 - buying first arc then switching to MU Extraordinary X-Men 3 - buying first arc then switching to MU
If I really get this down to just 4 or 5 DC titles a month I might just go full digital.

4 or 5 DC tpb titles, or just titles in general?

At first I was gonna be 'WOW!' -but then I realized that I'm the same with Marvel. Trades of Captain America/Sam Wilson, Captain America, The Mighty Thor, Ellis written Karnak, Waid Avengers, Uncanny Avengers (IF that stays good with Remender gone-but I like the new writer as well, just forgot his name right-right-right now!). Although, Unlimited helps for the rest. Man, IF DC would go that route....I'd drop ALOT of floppy & trade books.

Yeah man. But just wait until you get to that month where 3 HC's and 9 trades of the titles you want to buy come out If I really get this down to just 4 or 5 DC titles a month I might just go full digital.
Be prepared to spend more money It's just too damn easy to say "oh, what the heck? click Oh, and why not this one too? click My first month I spent way more than I even thought I did. I then tried to reel it in, but ... screw it. I enjoy them, I don't care now. I am saving up for the big Marvel explosion and all their titles, but as I am getting most of the Secret Wars stuff I haven't been able to save as much as I wanted (though that 2099 stuff sure was a waste) I will come back tomorrow with my list, approximately, as I always get more than I think I will (Sorry, I keep having to bolt right after I sit down it seems)

Okay, I'm back. Thinking over this, I am just not going to type all the DC, Image or Marvel comics I have set to either buy or that I will borrow/read from Dave/other, trust me, it's a lot. Luckily a little less this preview month as a lot of the Image titles I like are not coming out (Birthright, Black Science, Copperhead, Kaptara, Lazarus, Low(which I still have yet to read), Nailbiter, Outcast and Saga are all in skip/recovery month(s) ... thankfully) So instead of typing ... thousands of titles ... hahaha okay, about 80 or so I guess ... from the big three (That's right, to me Image is in the "big" now!!!) I am just going to list the smaller publisher titles I will or possibly will buy/read (and sadly that does not include Rachel Rising this month either. Damn what a short month) AvatarGod is Dead #43 Mercury Heat #4 War Stories #13 BoomArcadia #6 Rowans Ruin #1 Dark HorsePastaways #7 This Damned Band #3 Adam.3 #3 ... maybe ... if I can find the first two issues of this Scott Kollins book IDWGodzilla in Hell #4 Shrinking Man #4 Star Trek #50 ... maybe and I may try and find the first issues of Walter Simonson's Ragnarok. Him doing the Norse stuff again just excites me

Dark Horse <I'm going to want to find 'Old West, New Magic' when that is traded. Greg Pak, a mystical Old West story with a Chinese gunslinger looking for his wife amid monsters, sorcery and a magic sword!! Greg Pak!> Rebels 8
DC Action Comics 46 Aquaman 46 Bizarro 6 Black Canary 6 (full make/or break time!) Deathstroke 12
Flash 46 Green Arrow 46 Green Lantern 46 Green Lantern Lost Army 6 Justice League3001 6 Martian Manhunter 6 Sinestro 17 Superman: Lois & Clark 2
Green Arrow v4 (Grell)
Maybe Cyborg...liked the first issue well enough
Image Invincible Ultimate Collection HC 10 !!!
Marvel Black Panther: The Complete Collection v2 (Priest!!)
Valiant Imperium v2 Unity v6
Oy! Damn, this a full looking list! I gotta be converting some more of my DC to tpbs instead. In fact...Flash is off the list. That's an easy trade conversion for me. And to be fair, so should Green Lantern...but I'm really enjoying being caught up with GL at this time, though. Decisions decisions...
If there would be titles that I could get digital, if they were a discounted price, it'd be Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, Sinestro. I don't care about owning these books in floppy or tpb, but I do want to read them. More decisions....

Trying again as I responded to this about an hour ago, but I must have not save it? I guess? Dark Horse Rebels 8
Damn, I forgot about this one. Good stuff (at least issue 1 and 2 were) Image Invincible Ultimate Collection HC 10 !!!
This is going to be a tough call for me. I have volumes 1-9, but I am now caught up, issue wise, with digital. I really like the look of those nine books on the shelf and think that adding that tenth would look cool also , but then again, do I want to double dip? Arrrrhhhh Have to think about this one. Valiant Imperium v2 Unity v6
No Ninjak (or are you trade waiting that?) If there would be titles that I could get digital, if they were a discounted price, it'd be Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, Sinestro. I don't care about owning these books in floppy or tpb, but I do want to read them. More decisions....
Well, is you can wait two months they go on sale. You only save $1 on them, but if you buy three at $1.99, it is like getting the third on free because you would have saved $2. Plus, waiting 2 months is better than 6

Image Trades are usually 5 issue collections. Doesn't make sense to have to buy the first trade to read just issue 5.

Oh sorry. I don't know if it is or not. I just assumed it was an on going. I just heard on iFanboy that it is a six issue mini series. Looks like I'll just finish out the mini in floppy form. Thats probably what you were trying to tell me but I'm dumb as a brick sometimes.
