While I didn't mention it ... "cold turkey" is probably among the best methods for finding out what titles you really want. Thanks to several deployments and year-long "unaccompanied tours" overseas, I've gone cold turkey about a half-dozen times. The deployment-provided cold turkey method was the nail in the coffin for practically all TV for me.

My first comic books: Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes #202 and Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #23.  What a great way to start!
