Paper Girls Vol.6

Trade paperback for the Final Paper Girls arc.

Paper Girls Vol.5

First trade Paperback I've gotten of Paper Girls since I dropped the series as a monthly pick-up, and had quite a bit of catching up to do! Even had to go back and re-read some of the issue before to get reacquainted with the series!

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.

Paper Girls #1

If you've ever gone shopping with my friends at Best Buy, you'll know that they can spend hours just browsing the electronics, checking out the cameras, fussing with the phone accessories, etc. without ever looking up once, I, on the other hand, always know exactly what I want and purchase it right away, and so it was that I ended up in the car waiting in the Best buy parking Lot for them to finish one day, with nothing to occupy myself!
Then I remembered that the comic store Other Realms had moved out of Ward Warehouse and right into the building behind Best Buy! I ran over, knowing I could find something to read there!!!
What I was figuring on was buying some trade paperback or something, but instead, what I saw right on the new release rack was a brand-spanking new Image comics series called PAPER GIRLS, and it was written by Brian K Vaughan, no less! I immediately snatched that one up and for the next half hour or so sat in the car taking in the new adventures of four rambunctious newspaper carrier girls in the mid-eighties who have a brush with what can only be time travelers from another era...or aliens from another dimension!
WHOO, what a timely find- I would have been ahppy to read ANYTHING to kill my boredom, instead I got what has become yet another great series to subscribe to!!!
