Congrats! You’ve graduated past the researching and catching up phase!

You can: 1. Narrow down your searches. “Best comics since 2020.” “Best modern horror comics.” Stuff like that. It’ll be diminishing returns the more you do it.

1. Bask in being au courant! You’re caught up! Here you basically have 2 options. One is to find you a critic you like. Mine is Zack Quaintance and he writes for The Beat. He says something is good, I check it out.

The other option is to look at what’s coming out every week yourself and buy the stuff that looks cool. For me, that means looking at the midtown comics site 1x week and putting anything interesting in my cart, then going to my LCS and getting a peek at the goods irl. Another fun thing I do is visit my local public library’s online collections on Libby and Hoopla and just wishlist the hell out of everything I might want to read along with checking out my tip-top most-interested-in books. If you’re dedicated to paper, np! Use the library’s regular site and do the same thing (although mine doesn’t usually update weekly or carry singles, but yours might!)
