This is an offshoot of the “Did/do you read comic books as an adult?” thread.

For those of you who read comics regularly, how many a month do you usually get?

I think that, at my peak, it was 8/month.

Around 80 a month.

I have a deal with my comics shop (“fixer”) to pull any “issue no. 1.” I give a fair try to all new comics series.

Alas, I buy very, very few issue no. 2s.
