Any comic collectors?
-
Used to. Then the mid-90's I could see collector's mania kicking in. Comic book companies starting new series to just get the first issue sales. I bought them for the art and stories. Then the writing just got too stupid.
The artwork now is amazing. For a few exceptions the writing has declined.
I also hated the direction they put a lot of characters into, and bad storylines. I get it, after a while it's hard to find new angles to characters. But I'd rather have more consistency in comics, the world is turbulent enough as it is. I don't mind alternate reality versions of characters. That allows you to experiment without ruining the character.
I now have a few hard cover/soft cover copies of the comics I like. For example Batman: Year One, Wolverine Limited Series, The Killing Joke, The Rocketeer Collection, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters. That's about it.
