Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 32

And it's time for the latest graphic novel collection of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo!
After reading this month's skull-bustingly complex issue of The Wicked+ The Divine, it's nice to have a low-key "just for fun" series to read, and Usagi fits the bill nicely!

Dropping "Paper Girls" as a Monthly Pull

I've decided to drop Paper Girls as a monthly pull and switching to purchasing the collected editions instead.
So little happens in each issue and it's just not worth the time it takes to trudge all the way down to the comic store and trudge all the way back for a comic that I blow through in 2 minutes.
Much easier to wait til an entire arc is collected (and cheaper, too).
Most of the titles I buy are Collected Editions, anyway, with only Saga and The Wicked+ The Divine as regular monthly pulls. For those keeping score:

The Series I'm Buying in Collected Editions:

East Of West
Outcast
Manifest Destiny
Monstress
Oblivion Song*
The Walking Dead
Paper Girls
Usagi Yojimbo

as well as THESE titles, if they EVER get out of LIMBO status:

They're Not Like Us
Injection
Nowhere Men

Series I Dropped for The Time Being:
These just haven't been grabbing me lately so I'm taking time off of these titles 
(but I may go back later and catch up where I left off)

Sex Criminals
Snotgirl
Harrow County
Violent Love

*I bought floppies of #1 and #2 of Oblivion Song but decided to wait for the collected editions for the rest of the series.
Also going to wait for the collected trade for the Bryan K Vaughn mini-series BARRIER.
