> Between DC's books being soooo tightly interwoven (which is great if you want to read a ton of books but not if you just want to read a couple) and Marvel's being, well, Marvel's, my pull list has definitely shrunk, which is good for my wallet.

Both companies are making the mistake of writing for their current fan bases rather than seeking to diversify.

> All I read from Marvel these days is Iron Fist, Captain America, She-Hulk, and Thor. I'm basically trying to find a jump-off point for New Avengers, and I hope I find it soon. Oh, guess I lied, not everything I read is by Slott and Brubaker.

I'm following a few titles in trades, but the only issues I'm still getting monthly are She-Hulk and FF. I expect that'll change soon too.

And from elsehwere on the board: Fables is very good indeed, yes. I believe we're up to volume 8 plus a direct-to-graphic-novel.
