*raises hand* Yup! And it's definitely different from previous Angel comics. I like it -- lots of action. Actually, I don't have the fourth one yet (has it been released?), but I'm looking forward to reading it.

I like reading Neon Genesis Evangelion from Viz Comics (and need to check out the anime of it on VHS or DVD). Have a better one.
Yes, do check the series out. Haven't read the manga yet, but I liked the series and am eager to watch the movie. It's the ONLY anime series I ever bothered to watch all the way through (I rented it little by little from the local Hastings)and even though the ending is hella bizarre it's really intriguing and a good series.
I can' wait to read Fray, but sadly I'm in the boat with many of you where I missed the first issue and have never found it again, so I must wait for the trade.

The price of comics varies, but the lowest is generally $2.25, which is found on most of Marvel's books and a couple of DC's. I usually get about twenty or so a month (comes to about £30 for me); at twenty a week you must be getting some serious money!
Angel #4 HAS finally been released, just last week! I'm a huge fan of the TV show but I think this mini was a little bland to be honest.
I guess people aren't aware that Fray #1 went into a third printing (alongside second printings of #2 and #3) a couple of months ago? Dark Horse may have some left over; try asking your local comic shop if they're able to order some. But in all honesty you're probably best waiting for the trade edition.

Quote:When I bought mine a month ago, tfaw.com had second printings of 1-3, and first printings of 5-6. Looked just now, and they only have 3 (second printing) 5 and 6. There's no mention of any third printings. Doesn't this site usually carry all current Dark Horse books?

I regularly read about twenty comics a week, every week, year 'round. Which is a lot, ask anybody. I'm a serious and sad addict to comics.
Question is, do you buy them all yourself, or do you trade with friends? That's a big expense. Or are other labels cheaper than DH?
Well, you have to keep in mind that comics, or at least the ones I buy, are about three American dollars apiece. Mix in the occasional trade, which I buy routinely, and you're talking anywhere from sixty to one-hundred dollars a week.
And I read everything I buy, but I've gotten most of my friends into comics by letting them borrow the ones I get.
As for how much money I make in order to afford this amount: I'm a writer and occasionally write blurbs, short stories, essays, and the like for local publications. I make decent money doing that, not to mention I've a day job besides. I do okay, though I honestly spend more on this 'hobby' than I really should. Can't help it though. There's simply too much good stuff out nowadays.
And once more, I'll suggest everyone pick up BARRY WEEN. That series has gotten more of my friends into comics than any other. Big time. Check it out. It's about nine bucks for each trade, and they're more than worth it.
