Unpopular opinion: I stopped buying comics based on covers alone and my shelves look way better now

Actually reading a few pages first saved me from a ton of regret purchases, lol.

Ugh, been there for sure! I bought this one with a killer cover but the story was so boring. Reading a couple pages first is such a game changer.

My shelf has five pretty books I never finished, lol. @pathall, I totally get it. Now I read the first chapter online or skim a few pages in the store. Like, if the opening scene doesn't grab me, I put it back. It saved me from buying that hyped-up mystery novel last month. The cover was all dark and fancy, but the writing felt flat.
