I had a moment of clarity when I had a single week comic purchase of around $150, with $100 of that being one book. Granted it was the limited edition hardcover trade of Crisis on Infinite Earth, with the Alex Ross slip cover, but still that's a lot. When I left on my mission I actually prepaid to get the rest of a particular comics run, Preacher. When I met the woman who is now my wife I realized that I needed to cut out the $50-$75 a week I was spending on comics. I discovered the wonderful world of downloading comic books. Even if you feel iffy about downloading new books, it's still a great way to get caught up on lots of older books. I've recently "acquired" a huge amount of Spiderman, and Superman, books that I've been going back through. I've been able to save hundreds, if not thousands, or dollars by getting my back issues in digital. As a fellow former comic addict I understand.
