I know what you mean. But rather, this will probably be the first ongoing series I start buying single issues of instead of waiting for the trades.

Recently I found that my local Borders keeps a decent tab on weekly issues, so I think I'm going to begin getting one-shots and tie-ins to big events in single issues, especially with Blackest Night hitting this summer. Dark Horse also has a couple of mini series that I'm interested in, like The Rapture and the inevtiable third arc for The Umbrella Academy.
