Awhile ago I was talking to someone about whether or not the New Gods exist outside of the Multiverse.
Newsarama has an interview with DiDio (yeah yeah fuck DiDio and all that nonsense, the truth is he and Giffen's OMAC was pretty great and did a great job channeling Kirby) about the Forever People book and here's what he had to say:

But when you look at the New Gods, the New Gods are what we call a singularity — a single form within all of the multiverse. So while you have multiple interpretations of every other character in these other dimensions and other worlds, the New Gods — there's only one version of the New Gods, and they exist across all planes.

New Gods exist vertically through all the horizons of the various levels of the multiverse.

So that puts them at a different level, and a difference level of understanding. And it also makes them feel, in some ways, superior to everyone else.

If it's good, I will. But holy shit, I really need to cut down my pull. I gotta start trade-waiting some more shit. I think I have around 33 books on my list right now, which is nuts. If I can get it down to 20 I'll be ecstatic.

Anybody else order one of the Gamestop ASM varients? Things have been selling for 200-300 bucks with ease on ebay. I have one ordered and don't know what I should do with it. Selling shit on the net seems like a big hassle to me.

I seriously wanna know why Hawkeye is suffering such crazy delays. I thought the entire point of Annie Wu coming on board was to give Aja some breathing space.

My version. I wanted to trim your list while maintaining variety in genre but also maintaining some consistency. Almost all of the Image or Indy books (i. e. Walking Dead) are perfectly suited for trade waiting.

Your solo character / title Cape books have a degree of interchangeability, but swap out rather than have them all. Also, the more likely they are to crossover the more you should avoid, so Batwoman may be a drop if you aren't really digging it and fear crossovers with Batman. Wonder Woman should be safe until the creative shift then reconsider depending on how it is to you. Supergirl is probably safe to cut unless you are digging her as part of the Reds (but I think it's short lived).

I'd personally cut Deadly Class but it's getting rave reviews elsewhere so if you want keep it or switch it with something else.

Also, I'd forgotten Uber is your secret shame.

Let's go at it.

4. The Walking Dead
Last arc was horrible. I have no hope in continuing this book, however, you might. In that case, trade-waiting is the way.
6. Elephantmen
I haven't read this but I see little to no discussion of it on a monthly basis. It might be worth it to trade-wait.
7. East of West
From personal experience, this reads better collected.
10. She-Hulk
This book is great. Don't drop it. Trade-wait only if you really need to trim down the monthly list.
15. Veil
Those were some weird couple of issues. I love Rucka, but I'm not digging this so much yet. I'm dropping for now and will wait for reviews to see if I pick up the trade.
19. Batwoman
I dropped it a while ago, but ask yourself how much you are enjoying the current team. When you want to trim your list you can't accept half answers.
22. Chew
Don't even think about it!
23. Harley Quinn
...
29. Revival
This book is a perfect candidate for trade waiting in my opinion.
30. TMNT
Don't drop this book.
38. Supergirl
Are you picking this up regularly? I am reading this because of the crossover with RL but it isn't really good. Think about your priorities.
Click to expand...
Elektra and Iron Fist have only one issue out so it's hard to judge one way or the other. I'd wait one issue more to make an informed opinion about them. That being said, if you aren't really digging them, you could drop them and wait for some reviews.
(There's a certain hypocrisy here because I pick up more books, but I'm in the process of trimming my list down)
