Just curious since trades are becoming a bigger thing...Are you more likely to pick up a trade for a modern comic book over collecting the whole series in comic book form?
Me-
I've made a promiss to myself that I'll collect trades from now on unless I really like the series and feel the need to own all the comic book themselves. My main reason- SPACE! And I also like having the story in one big lot then waiting for it to come out each month (^^);;;

I collect neither, but read primarily trades. There are exceptions, of course; I think I'll be dropping by the LCS to buy Final Crisis, though mainly it's to avoid spoilers.

| Hmmm..a little confused how to answer this one. If I am buying a modern series, I will ALSO buy the trades.... There are a few that I will only buy in trades, but for the most part I continue to buy both.

Does that mean you'll buy the same comic as a trade and as a normal comic book?
I guess you'd answer 'depends on the series'..I think..Or maybe 'yes' and 'no' that's why I left it optional because people collect in different ways and probably for certaini series and not other ones

| I usually only buy trades if I want to catch up on a series that has been around for awhile and the back issues aren't available cheaply. For instance, I started buying the individual issues for Fables around issue 50, and bought the trades for all the issues before that. For Y, the Last Man, I had to buy the first 3 trades to catch up at the time.For Invinible, it was the first 4 trades. The only exception is Walking Dead, which I buy both of. My wife prefers to read it in trade form, but I can't wait that long between issues.

| I'm trying to cut down on the monthlies and read them in trades instead. It's not that easy, especially after over 20 yrs of reading comics that way but I find myself waiting to read 6 issue arcs all at once anyways so it wouldn't make much difference. So why aren't I doing this already??
