WVU, I would not want to see the monthly bill for that pull list
In all seriousness, I've dabbled with comics a couple of times post-college and usually enjoy reading them. But it has gotten harder for me, as the years have passed, to justify $20-40 per month on comic books. And if I want to read X-Men then I usually don't want to just read one book, especially with the crossover events and the annual universe-type events that pull readers into other books.
Are there any online options that are significantly cheaper than the hardcover comics? If so, maybe I would take a look at that as a sustainable long-term option.
