    There are a few series that I'll just keep buying the trades until there are no more.

     In no particular order and indicating what volume I have up to:

     Scalped (4)
    Fables (but I'd love the hardbacks) (11)
    Jack of Fables (5)
    DMZ (6)
    Fear Agent (4)
    The Goon (6)
    Walking Dead (hardbacks) (4)
    Invincible (hardbacks) (3)
    Ex Machina (hardbacks) (1)
    Y The Last Man (hardbacks - had all the trades and sold them) (2)
    100 Bullets (in all likelihood) (1,2,6 & 7)
    Scott Pilgrim (only 1 to go) (5)
    Blue Monday (4)
    Northlanders (1)
    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (who knows how these things are numbered)
    Peanuts reprints (4)
    Powers (hardbacks) (2)
    Phonogram (1)
    Proof (1)
    Criminal (4) (kind of want the hardbacks now...)
    Starman (Omnibus Hardbacks) (1)
    The Boys (3) (the hardbacks can fuck off at the price they're asking)
    JLA (1) (hardbacks - sold all my paperbacks)
    Preacher (hardbacks - keeping all my signed paperbacks I suppose) (0)
    Swamp Thing (hardbacks - have all the paperbacks)
    Anything in the Minx line, but I think I have them all
    Cerebus (I'm determined to finish collecting and reading them) (12)
    Queen and Country (if Rucka ever gets back to it) (8+3 of Declassified series)
    Love and Rockets (have the first 2 jumbo hardbacks, want the next two)
    The Sword (2)

     Of course, this doesn't include complete series, or stuff that I collect for other reasons (namely creative teams). For instance I'll buy just about anything from Garth Ennis, Alan Moore, Darwyn Cooke, Tim Sale, Brian K Vaughan... the list is pretty long actually.

     What's on your ongoing list of things to make you broke?

    I'm sort of hoping that this comics podcast will encourage me to start working through my wish-list of books.


    Which, at the moment, looks something like this:


    DC/VERTIGO PAPERBACKS
    Sentences- MF Grimm
    Hitman
    100 Bullets
    The Authority - Kev
    The Magnificent Kevin
    A Man Called Kevin

    HARDBACKS
    Swamp Thing Vol 1 Hardback
    Preacher Vol 1 Hardback
    Y Last Man Vol 3
    Ex Machina Vol 2
    Invincible Vol 4
    Hellboy Library 3
    Fables Vol 1
    Battlefields Vol 1
    Planetary Vol 4
    Powers Vol 3
    Transmetropolitan
    Walking Dead 5

    ABSOLUTE EDITIONS
    V For Vendetta
    Ronin

    Planetary Vol 1&2

    MARVEL OMNIBUSES

    Daredevil Miller
    Punisher Ennis

    INDIE BOOKS
    Locas 2
    Luba
    Tales From The Farm Hardback
    Surrogates
    Perry Bible Fellowship almanac.
    Beanworld
    Penny Arcade?
    Mike Richardson CUT
    Chris Blain GUS and gang
    Popgun
    Mome
    Abe Glenn Dakin
    The Foundation
    Investigate Grendel
    Cerebus last few volumes
    American Splendor
    Freddie and Me


    I've just realised that an awful lot of that consists of stuff I've already read, or reprints of things I've bought before. Is this a phenomenon unique to comics collectors, or am I the only person intent on buying the same things over and over again. I mean, I own 5 different editions of Watchmen, for christ's sake.
