I always hated comic books...When I was young I read the X-men and Spiderman and loved it at first but I hated that you have to read the end of a story in an other comic franchise..

I read a few though now like Halo/mass effect and The Darkness but for the rest I gave up...

I see where you're coming from.  For some people, it's fun to see how the different characters interact or that all of the characters live in the same universe (first time I saw Wolverine hanging out with the Fantastic Four, my mind exploded!).  For other people, it's just frustrating.  You buy one series and never get to see teh end of the storyline.

I suggest buying "trades" that contain entire storylines (or at least, the gist of  a major storyline).  It's what I do.  I don't have the patience to collect week by week, anymore.

I hear ya on the trades but there's nothing like having a bagged and boarded first print/near mint.

I agree. I have a few TBP but nothing beats having all the issues. I just started collecting again and I have all the issues (Not all first print) of X-Men Second Coming. The Hardcover just got realeased but doesn't have a few of the spin-offs such as Hellbound and Blind Science with X-Factor.
