Favorite way to collect comics?

[SpiderCrawler]

Well, what is your favorite way to collect your comcis? Single issues, omnibus/OHC, TPB, etc? For me, when it's one of my favorite runs, I like to own all of the single issues.

[DBrewer75]

OHC/Omnibus

[SJNeal]

All of the above.

[ragalang]

Singles, but when they come out in TPB then I sell my singles to get the TPB instead

[gma2darescue]

Singles here. As much as I would like to switch to TPB and save money, I just feel like a better collector grabbing single issues. Plus, it's easier and more often

[Optimus]

I like trades, but I suspect the IPad when I finally get one, is going to become my main choice. Everytime I go to best buy and load the Marvel app (which I did again today) I just drool over it. McNiven and Brubaker's Captain America 1, and Copiel's Thor 1, look so, SO good on that screen! (they're free right now too)

[Hulk_Is]

Singles. They come out monthly and they're... just better...for me.

single issues for current comics right now
trades for older stuff
omnibus

[chicainery]

All of the above.

Ditto.

I buy mostly trades, but sometimes OHCs/Omnibuses. Ocasionally I'll buy singles if they're discounted enough to justify it (i.e. must be significantly cheaper than the trade).

[Grapeweasel]

I like cheap.

And quantity.

Right Now? Singles

For previous runs/storylines? TPBs and Omnibuses

[CrazyOldHermit]

Omnibus is my favourite but there are a relatively few number of omnis released.

So I buy floppies for a few series and trades/HCs for anything else I want to read.

[Ezio_Howlett]

TBP/HC/Omnibus. That's the only way I can collect comic books, because there isn't any comic book stores in hometown, so I have to order them from amazon.co.uk, but that's ok with me since they are so cheap there

Singles for current stuff

OHC and Omnibuses for older material or anything else I missed.
