A guy at a convention said my pull list was 'too safe' and I can't stop thinking about it
Last Saturday at the small con in Dayton, some random dude glanced at my stack and said that. He had a point. I've been grabbing the same 5 Batman and X-Men titles for like 3 years straight. Meanwhile he showed me his bag, all indie stuff I'd never heard of, and two of them looked amazing. I grabbed one mini-series he recommended, read it in one night, and honestly my usual weekly haul feels boring now. Any of you ever have a stranger completely change how you buy comics, or is my new habit just a phase?

My pull list has been the same three X-Men books since 2019, so that guy would have taken one look at my stack and walked away without a word. I finally let a friend pick one book for me last year, some weird horror thing about a haunted gas station, and it ended up being the best thing I read that whole year. Here is the thing though, and I get how this sounds, a safe pull list is not always a bad thing. If you have been reading Batman for years, you know what you like and there is nothing wrong with that. But mixing in one or two indie books each month keeps the hobby fun and it does not have to break your budget since most of those are cheaper anyway. Worst case you drop it after two issues and go right back to the cape books, no harm done.
