Let's see if this works.
With the cost of living such as it is, and books no longer costing 50 cents like they did when I was a kid, there are some titles that just don't make the pull list anymore. So I thought I'd make this thread to specifically discuss the titles you've dropped, or are coming very close to dropping, and why. And maybe some can plead the case against. Or whatever. I think it's a neat idea and I'm bored at work. Anyway, since i started collecting again for me it's been:
Skye Runner- dropped after 3 issues. Looked like a neat idea, the main character was hot, and i like fantasy settings, but the writing was just uninteresting and all over the place.
DMZ- dropped after the public works arc. yeah, i know, it's great. i respect it. i think i just get enough war bleakness from the news these days. just not my cup of tea.
i'm considering dropping:
Deadman- interesting idea, but muddy in execution and suffers from Lost's syndrome of not letting anyone in on wtf is happening. And the art, though pretty and atmospheric, is often confusing.
Battlestar Galactica- one of my favorite shows. i was looking forward to the comic. why drop? the characterizations are okay, but the art is kinda bleah, and i feel like the show is so linear and focused in one direction that the struggle to sandwich the comic into continuity shows through. The Zarek mini was dull and unnecessary, and there's another mini coming that safely takes place two years before the cylons attack everyone. Meh.
