My buddy at the comic shop made me rethink my pull list last week

I was talking to this guy Dave who's been reading comics since the 80s, and he said 'you're just buying the same stories over and over with different covers.' It hit different because I realized my pull list was all Batman and Spider-Man, like 12 books a month. He showed me his stack from last Wednesday and it had stuff from Image and a small press called Aftershock I never even heard of. Has anyone else had a collector shake up their whole reading routine like that?

Dropping Batman to just the main title opened up room for me to try Chew.

Dave at my shop said the same thing and it made me realize 90% of my pull was Big Two events I didn't even care about. I dropped everything except the current Moon Knight run and now I read 8 books from Boom and Ahoy every month instead. Swapping two Batman books for one weird sci-fi series honestly fixed my burnout for good.
