DC Nielsen Survey Mark II

When I got to "How many comics do you buy a month" I put in 120 (which is how many I buy).

It told me "The number you entered is too large. Try entering again."

Tried 100, still too large.

It took 80.

I think it's telling me I buy too many comics...... Time to cut my list down again? I can probably drop 8-10 DC titles right now......

Wasn't it about a year ago you were going to cut down from 125? Well, I guess you did.

EDIT - Ooops, you had started with about 185. My mistake.
Well, you dropped about a third of the total in a little over a year. Not bad, my man. Not bad.
(Of course, how many did you end up dropping so far? Compared to the ones that ended and you were able to make your escape THAT way? )

I dropped a LOT of Marvel titles. I'm getting 6 on-going Marvel series these days. I must have been getting 25+ back when I started making my cuts.

I got the 1st 3 issues of all of the "New 52" and I've since dropped many of those (I'm getting 21 of those 52 now....)

For Indies, the nature of the books is to mostly do limited series, so I may complete a series & just not come back for more OR they never do more.

This time I did not get the boot from the survey.

99 was the highest value it would take. I tried to put in 195 which is what I've tend to average according to my spreadsheets.

I also noticed they asked if I planned to buy more of a number of titles and the six cancelled titles were in the list.

I noticed the same thing. I'd buy more Resurrection Man if it wasn't getting cancelled!

At time point, I can still buy more Resurrection Man (albeit not for many more issues) which is something I can't do for Hawk & Dove, Mister Terrific, Static Shock, OMAC, Men of War and Blackhawks.

I still said I plan on buying more, and I would buy OMAC if I could. I figured it's their fault for not fact-checking the survey, shrugged my shoulders, and entered what I would like to do. I also rambled on quite a bit when they asked us to be specific about what I thought of the new 52.

My comment here was that they had too many stories that played out over 5+ issues & they needed more stories that are complete in 1 or 2 issues.

I put in a similar comment about how the 6 issue long story arcs were playing out too slowly and how after about 10 issues of all of the titles I felt like I still hadn't "adopted" these versions as the "real" versions of the characters. They really need to tighten up the storytelling style. Things don't need to be done-in-one but they need to feel self-contained and complete in some respect.
