Just placed my pre-order for February and I've got 2 new casualties I'm dropping.
Green Arrow Wonder Woman
Not really bad comics, they just aren't holding my interest.
Anyone else dropping anything with this months order?

But more is certainly being added!! (REBELS, Superboy, Batman Inc, and Thunderstrike!)

Man - I am sooooo tempted to pick up Batman Inc but I'm afraid it will lead to the need to pick up EVERY Batman book!

Most of my cancellations (or pull list removals) have received a stay of execution due to the $2.99 price support, but they will be dropped soon.
Only thing that stands out this month =

The Bat-pole is slippery indeed. Can't believe I'm rocking 2 Batman books now and holding steady to that! (Red Robin is AMAZING! But that's trades for me).

Dropped both JSA and JSA All-Stars. Birds of Prey is looking kinda shaky, too.

Gonna be dropping Booster Gold, Justice League, Justice Society of America, Teen Titans, Superman, Batman, and Flash. Oh yeah, I'm cleaning house of my DC books save Brightest Day, and Superman/Batman which will satisfy my fix for the big two DC powerhouses. The Vertigo titles that I do get are still golden to me however - Fables, Unwritten, etc....
Still really debating though on the flagship Superman and Batman books.....my run dates back to the mid-80s......aargh....dilemmas! But if I'm not enjoying them anymore, what's the point right?
I fear Uncanny X-Men may be next to get the axe, along with Daredevil (because of the name change). Uncanny X-men might be safe as well though, because my collection is consecutive from the mid/late 70s, with a lot of key issue prior to that.
I just don't read and enjoy these particular titles like I used to.......In this day and age, the creative team's behind the characters or more important to me than the characters themselves. And the writer's nowadays handling these books aren't cutting it like they used to.

Sad to see you dropping all those DC titles. I understand, trust me, but with them going $2.99 I was hoping we could push the sales to show Marvel a thing or two ... or two ninty-nine. But I understand.

Dropping Iron Man.
This book is so damned boring. It's so finesse it's uninteresting. I miss the days when Tony would be that way in and out of suit, until you realized why he was called the 'Invincible' Iron Man and show what a man inside a body-tank could and would do when push comes to shove.
Dropping Incredible Hulk.
The teary eyed b!tch that the Hulk is now has made this book earn my vote of 'Quickest Turnaround from Great to Terrible" this year.

Well I went and did it.......cut my pull list to half of what I'm used to!!! 20 titles a month is unheard of for me. It's easier for me to list what I am reading, rather than what got the axe! Of course a single issue or mini might creep into the list, plus the occasional hc or tpb, but I think this pull list is more manageable considering how my reading habits are as of late!
The Walking Dead Invincible Amazing Spider-Man Captain America 28 Days Later Fables Unwritten New Avengers Avengers Secret Avengers Brightest Day Superman/Batman Superman Batman Echo Uncanny X-Men Powers Scarlet Kick-Ass Proof

G; I"m curious as to what you are collecting then!
That said, I cut:
Superboy Thor ...and maybe Wonder Woman. I think I buy her book so that there are actual numbers going in there.
That said, I collect 2 ongoing Marvel books (FF, Avengers Academy) and 2 minis (Avengers Children Crusade and Thunderstrike), and that's it. I think I'm gonna do my own personal state of the union to talk/vent/get discussed at....

REBELS has its final issue in a few months. Don't get too attached.
