Your comic book reading habits?

Another inquisitive thread!

When and where do you find yourself reading your comics most? Please, let's not use toilet humor. Literally.

In front of the computer when it comes to digital stuff, in the bathroom when it comes to books/floppies.

Same time as I usually read anything: in bed, at night, before falling asleep.
(Sometimes sleep never happens!)

My reading habits are as such:
Major story arcs I wait till it's all available before I dig in. I tend to hate cliffhangers and waiting another month until I can coninue.
I read my comics on the can, on the couch, and in bed before I head to sleepyland.
I read TPBs on the bus.

I get my books once a month in a big-ole cardboard box ala DCBS via UPS. I sort them in order of what I want to read first and read through them as I have time on the couch. Lately, many of my books have been piling up as many books I'm getting now I want to read at some point, but many of them don't strike me as something I need to jump into. The only real exceptions are Secret Six, Bomb Queen, and Trinity.

Insert joke here.




I usually borrow my comics from Silent K, power read them, then return them.

For me, it's quite simple. In my lounge chair, put up the foot recliner, sit back and enjoy with a nice hot cup of tea.

Mmm... that sounds nice. I wish I had a study. One filled with books, a fireplace, Brandy in a glass decanter, and a record player with classical music. That would be my ideal place to read.

Usually in my studio in between drawing,painting,etc or in bed before I crash out for the night.

First, I arrange all my weekly books in order of least excited to read to most excited. As far where I read them it ranges from the couch, to in bed, and in my truck. I never read comics in the bathroom.

Holy Buddha, I do that too. Mostly, anyway. I'll save miniseries and story-arcs, with the exception of the books I'm hardcore fans of and event books. (Won't be getting any event books any time soon, though. Heh.)

Ha! I do this as well. Do you seperate them into publisher? I'll actually seperate them to where I read DC one day, Image, then Marvel, or whatever.

When outside after getting said comics



when at home on my futon

I go every Saturday, get my books, separate them from the ones I least enjoy through to my favorite book that week, then I space out reading them throughout the week whenever I have some time/am interested. I keep my books at home pretty much, usually reading them in my bedroom, office, or bathroom. Then after I'm done reading I rearrange them alphabetical and by publisher, and box 'em. No bags or boards though, I need some.

I like to torture myself (read into THAT one, why don'tcha?), and save the ones i want to read most till last.

Yeah, I can't do that either, but that's because I'm a germaphobe .

Online, since some are digital, and at my desk (at home), since
I spend alot of time reading and going over things anyways.
