So, with some of us dropping titles, what is the state of your current pull list? I was just working on mine since DCBS updated with the current Previews and these are the titles on my current pull list:
WALKING DEAD FALLEN ANGEL JONAH HEX SUPERGIRL TEEN TITANS WARLORD SUPERMAN BATMAN TESTAMENT SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER HEROES 52 SECRET SIX ASTONISHING X-MEN SHE-HULK 2 ALL NEW OFF HANDBOOK MARVEL UNIVERSE A TO Z MOON KNIGHT LAURELL K HAMILTON'S ANITA BLAKE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ARCHIE DOUBLE DIGEST BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST JUGHEADS DOUBLE DIGEST
Including two each of 52 (there are five issues in August) and two of SLoSH I'm spending less that $55 before shipping on my books each month. That's down from nearly $200 a month a little over a year ago when I was still buying from a local shop.
1 IDW title, 1 from Image, 1 Vertigo, 8 from DC, a whopping 4 from Marvel, 3 from Archie and 2 indies. Twenty books a month, about a low as I've gone while actively collecting. But that only averages out to about $2.75 a book.
This doesn't include any specials or one of's that I may get sometimes, just my regular pulls. But I'm still far beneath what I was spending in 2004/2005.

Actually, counting the double issues, I'm only spending about $1.82 a title. Far less than the average cover price.

And just to make me spend more money, I added three more titles after going through the Previews for August.
Fevre Dream - An adaption of George RR Martin's vampire novel. Just a preview now, not sure when the series will start.
Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars - A five issue mini of the first novel of ERB's John Carter of Mars series. My most loved series of novels growing up. Gotta have it.
CSI: Dying in the Gutters - I had forgotten about this one until seeing it again in Previews. Any comic that combines CSI, a comic convention and the 'death' of Rich Johnston deserves to be added to my pull list.
And there were two new Showcases from DC for August too. One for Batman and one for Challengers of the Unknown. But both were at a 50% discount making them only $8.49 each. Plus I've gotten every one so far and there wasn't one scheduled for July so I can justify two this month.

I’ll be routinely checking on the marquee titles (Bats, X-Men, etc) through their trades. It’s not like they need my money; plus trades are cheaper. That cuts out about half my list, saving me money and leaving me room for a few other titles.
By the by Scott, did you get Marvel’s Poe adaptation?

Funny, I just changed/updated my pull list last week at my comic shop. Here's what it looks like as of now:
52 S&LSH Teen Titans Robin Outsiders (this is on the bubble. I'm giving it 2 more issues to convince me to keep it) Nightwing (teetering on the brink of extinction! I'm month to month on this one.) Ion (6 issue trial) Blue Beetle (6 issue trial) Bludhaven mini ==> Freedom Fighters Secret Six (6 issue trial) Checkmate (6 issue trial) Shadowpact (6 issue trial) Invicible Hunter Killer (if it ever publishes again) Vice (if it ever publishes again) Young Avengers New Mutants / Academy Ultimate X Men

I'm picking up the first issue, especially since it is a Niles book but haven't officially added it to my pull list yet.

Oh yeah. If it is Poe (Poe and Burroughs, the two Edgars, are always on my search list when I go through Previews) I'm getting it. The first issue just came in with my mid-May shipment but I haven't read it yet. Probably this weekend. I enjoyed Richard Corben's "Fall of the House of Usher" that Creepy(?) put out way too many years ago and was glad to see him doing this adaption too.

I picked up the first issue. It wasn't bad, but I'm not use to seeing Poe done creepy. I always thought he was more psychological than creepshow. With only 3 issues, I'm in til the end.

All-Star Superman should be on my list as well. But since there hasn't been one scheduled in the last couple of Previews it didn't come up on my pull list.
