My dilemma:

So, both Nova #19 and Guardians of the Galaxy #19 are out today. I love both these books - probably favorite Marvel/DC books. But this is the start of new arcs in both - its a good time to make the switch to trades if I am going to do that. Or do I read another arc in issue. I can't afford to get both formats.

So every time an arc ends I have to think about this decision.

These are the only marvel floppies I get (I get a lot of trades though). In fact they are 2 of the only 5 floppies I collect. It'd be nice to switch almost entirely away from single issues.

But its nice to get the monthly doses of these books.

But its easier and more fun to reread collections.

But I want the sales on these books to remain decent.

I can't decide!!!

MARVEL COMICS
Captain America #44 (Regular Steve Epting Cover), $2.99 - When was the last time an issue of this book wasn't good?
Guardians Of The Galaxy #7 (War Of Kings Tie-In), $2.99 - Love this book. Sure hope the upcoming solicits aren't an indication that Pelletier is off the book...
Ms Marvel #33, $2.99 - Slowly losing interest in this book. I think that it has a lot to do with not having a regular penciler on the book since Lopresti left.

No advice?

Probably doesn't help much but I'm a monthly guy for my Marvel and DC books so I'd suggest sticking with those. I also have trouble switching from one format to the other mid-run so once a book starts and I am enjoying it, there is no turning back!

[kevhines]

well you were my only response - and I decided I will switch to the trade for War of Kings (maybe). So I bought the new issues (they were great!)

Truth be told, I have no idea what this War of Kings storyline/trade dress is all about.

[kevhines]

I don't either. Only that it involves the Inhumans and I think also the Starjammers/Shi'ar - and its by the DnA team that has been rocking out all the Marvel cosmic stuff.
