If VEI published more monthly books, how many would you buy?

Looks like I'm the sole ice cream vote!

I really don't care. I'm buying all 9 right now because I can. In truth, once they expand even into 10 or 11, I'll drop 1-2 for budget reasons. (I'll be dropping all my Marvel titles after Secret Wars but that is because I pay for Marvel Unlimited and I was only getting Hickman titles in hard copy. They won't be replaced with anything, either. I read for enjoyment. Collecting has been relegated to Silver Age for me.) Comics just aren't worth the $3.99 anymore. Especially when they are easily found later for much less.

The weird thing is, if they went to 15 or more, I will probably get less than 9 on a monthly basis. Books like Q&W just aren't my thing. I get them to say I'm supporting the entire line. Once they cross the line where I don't feel comfortable paying for "the whole line", I'll drop to only my favorites and catch up in digital like I do with most other titles.

it is in that "affordable to collect all" sweet spot.

That's true, but as I discussed in another thread, I think it hurts their overall growth as a company to stay there indefinitely.

13 - 15 but they'd all have to be good. Like Dunlow stated, paradoxically, once they got that high I wouldn't feel obligated to support the company by purchasing weak titles.

Honestly, it just depends on how good they are and what they are about. There are a lot of holes in my pull list right now waiting on something to fill them. I love most of what Valiant makes and I want them to succeed. However, not at the cost of what makes them special. They put a lot of love into those books and that's easier to do with everyone on the same page. Its something a smaller company manages better than a large one (just look at the state of the big 2 for an example of how quantity doesn't equate to quality.)

It would all depend on the quality and wether or not i felt i could drop something else from my pull to make room.

That daid, i kinda like the more managable number theyre at atm.
