I am facing a very odd week this week as I do not have a single comic book issue in my pull. As someone who reads over twenty comics on a regular basis, it is a conundrum when I don’t have anything waiting in the pull box at the store. What to do…what to do?
Graphic Novels
I have some graphic novels waiting for me, I can get a jump on some of those since I have a week without comics. If you are like me, you push off graphic novels to weeks when you have nothing else to read, or very little to read. This would be a perfect week to do so.
Organize the Collection
Even though I keep my comic book collection well organized, there are always little things which need to be done. I can go through my database and see if any of my top comings have gone up or down. I could make sure everything is filed and organized.
Back Issues
There are some special back issues in my collection I have not read or have not read in a long time. Weeks like this are always good for pulling out a comic book encyclopedia or a Who’s Who or even an Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe just to brush up on a little useless trivia to pop out on someone in the near future.
Try Something New
I could also try a few new titles I have not looked into yet. Out of three titles, I will usually find at least one to add to my pull list.
Of course, these are suggestions I have to myself. What do you do during weeks when you have few or no pulls?
