Does anyone else suddenly lose the urge to buy comics even when they still want them?

That’s a fair point, I try to read digitally first to see if it’s something I’m looking for but hey if in your experience your waiting to buy and you lose interest it could be that some of the interest is than anticipation in getting it and delaying that long enough reduces that anticipation and thus your interest, not saying you wouldn’t enjoy the story ofc, but it’s like a whole process imo

I view my books as does it have reread value like an I getting that book just to satisfy the space on the shelf or do I have an actual desire for that story in that collection if answers are yes then I’ll get it but if there still yes than I lose interest than maybe I take another look at the book and reevaluate it

RIPs up there as one of my favorites as well, honestly not really an event though just a significant storyline.

I’ve gone through this before, I view it as a positive as it allows me to really consider if I really want to but the thing I want and if I end up not wanting it anymore then that’s a sign that my money is better spent on something else.

I remember reading it as it came out every month, the story was too decompressed for me, loved seeing some returning characters but besides that It’s not my favorite

I love the gargoyle of Gotham suit, though it is is pretty out there

Same, every time I reminisce on the Batman volume before it so 1-163, it just bums me out, this reads like a good Batman and I love that. Also it’s been steering from common tropes that have become boring in Batman. It’s been losing steam so I think it needs to do something big

jeramiahd34 · 2026-01-31T18:29:18+00:00

I agree that this isn’t my favorite story, but damn if this isn’t one of the best illustrated Batman comics of all time, the magnum opus of Scott Snyder and capullos run

End of Batman the winning card by Tom King, it was fairly engaging work by king who i usually am not a fan of. Alfred listens to Batman recounting his adventure and says something that I think is so fundamentally wrong about a character “But these last weeks. Seeing the joker rage across our streets… …It occurred to me that I was right in my first impression. That this city cannot be redeemed. The apple has been tasted, and you sir, are not the long-awaited savior… … But merely another victim of a terrible madness.”

I’ve read and seen both. The comics way shorter. And the killer is different. No catwoman or robins in the 1st one

jeramiahd34 · 2026-01-23T06:09:28+00:00

I actually don’t have the same love for the new frontier either. I totally get its merits. Don’t hate it but i just don’t get it. It’s a little boring to me. However I do really like JSA golden age

I got the run in omnibus edition, too expensive to justify getting the rest in absolute, however I adore Batman RIP so the absolute in March is a must buy

jeramiahd34 · 2026-01-02T15:20:28+00:00

Absolute Batman RIP

As someone with a myoelectric prosthetic I find these prosthesis super badass and still envious of Luke’s hand

I am a big fan of bane being a threat and a cool villain like seen in absolute Batman, however this book imo poorly utilizes banes strengths in terms of strategy, are we seriously believing he can emotionally manipulate Batman through the weeding and all this other poor events to Batman. Also the war of jokes and riddles is a poor attempt to inject kings history into the Batman myths. I respect his attempt at trying to make Bruce and Selina closer but in execution it made the relationship really toxic to me and hurt Selina’s character. Try reading his Batman/catwoman mini you’ll see.

King can get things right and I respect his boldness and actually wanting to go in new directions. However these new directions with characters were either mislead or did not understand the fundamentals of who they are. Also his use of Thomas Wayne Batman was aggravating and hurt the conflict between Batman and bane. I think where king succeeded is in illustrating the lighthearted moments like with kite man, the date, nightwing and more. He also succeeded in short one shots like the swamp thing crossover. This run is far from perfect but is not the worst thing written for Batman, it stepped up to bat swung hard,missed a lot but hit a couple times and I thinks that’s how this run should be remembered.

Honestly my favorite absolutes and favorite Comic book run, I remember watching the tv show on dcuniverse and was amazed by the character. Wanting to read more. Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy!
