Kill or be Killed.
I think I'll pass on that one. I've never liked Arcade, and I have zero desire to see any of those characters re-enacting the Hunger Games.

I'm enjoying the Legion Archives I've finally scored from the library.
So I'm not over comic books. I am over the idea that my finances will ever again be in a state where I can commit to buying the damn things, though.

I suppose I am pretty much over comic books. I haven't bought even one in almost 2 years. Neither the finances nor the interest is there. It isn't just comic books, though. Lately I have had trouble reading almost any work of fiction.
I do have a nephew who is in the Marines. He is one of the finest people I know, actually. A few weeks ago I told him he could have all of my old Avengers and X-Men if he wanted them. I think I could hear him salivating over the phone.

I keep dreaming that one day i'll have the money to buy all the archives. I KEEP DREAMING. I mean, seriously, if you bought all 13 of them for face value you'd be spending close to 500 bucks! YEEEEESH!

I think I bought about one a month when I was buying them. Managed to get some pretty good deals on them by shopping around online as I recall...

No, you're thinking of this all wrong. Basically, you find twelve other trustworthy lunatics. Each one commits to buying a different volume. Then we-- er, the other twelve obsessive fans besides you swap them back and forth in the mail.
Yes, it'll be sort of like that M*A*S*H* ep where everyone in camp waited their turn to read B.J.'s one copy of a mystery a few pages at a time-- but so what?
Do it for the collective!

Sometimes I think I'm over comic books, but I never get over the Legion Archives. They have a staying power that other comics just don't achieve.

The best way not to get burned out on comics is to just select one title to follow. For me it's the Legion (which has meant two titles purchased a month, soon only one). This works with my budget and gives me a month of anticipation between reads so I don't get burned out. I can't even imagine you guys who have a pull list of a dozen or so titles every month. One title is enough for me.

I'm similar. I pretty much only follow the Legion religiously. But it keeps me going to the shop once a month which usually leads to my buying OTHER titles which subsequently continues the evil cycle.
That and I really just got back into comics like six months ago after a 10 year break. I am faaar from burnt out yet.

My love has definitely waned some. I'm really not feeling the new DC, and I left marvel years ago. There are a few independents I like, but the my love for it has definitely suffered due to the bad writing, poor storylines, and almost disdain for older comics readers like me.
