What other books are on your pull list?
Currently I've got aquaman, avengers assemble, flash, indestructible hulk, justice league, kick ass, star wars, swamp thing, uncanny avengers and xtreme xmen.
But i was thinking about droping xtreme xmen, possibly justice league and one of the avengers titles with a batman

X-Treme X-men has been cancelled so its safe to kill that. You'd have to read the Xtermination crossover to finish out the story anyways. Of all the Batman comics Dark Knight is the worst. I'm not wild about Justice League either but I do like the Shazam back up stories. Kickass has got to be done or almost done too I think. You should deep six Avengers Assemble and get Thor. What you should really do is fire up that tablet and read everything!
HardTI I read East of West it was really cool even though I'm not really sure what's going on.

Tablets are the way to go! My wife let be buy one when she realized it would pay for itself by me not spending 40-50 a month.
What app do you guys use to read your comics on? I use Comic Rack. It's pretty solid, but with their last update I can't do wireless sync on my Samsung Galaxy 1 Tab. Grrrr

I also use Comic Rack (Free Edition) I don't keep too many mags on my SD card and I never bothered to sync my Android Device with my PC Comics folder.

I don't use torrents but if I did I would prob download them to my PC and then transfer them to my tablet. Then delete them from my tablet after I read them but have them archived on a dedicated external drive. That's all theory though since I don't do that.

Any cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox would work for you too. I use Comic Rack's sync but before that I used Google Drive.

That Marvel deal would be great if it wasn't for this part : "Read more classic and newer issues every week — added as soon as 6 months after they hit stores!".
I'm just not patient enough to wait at least 6 months to read a new issue.

i normally only buy the HC so this wouldnt be a huge deal.
i just picked up the kree/skrull war and the first xmen (wolverine gathering mutants along with creed and mags) the latter i should have left stay on the shelf
