You may vote for two choices, however if you choose to do so, please post what your first choice was.

Also, if you realize you've just now thought of a brilliant suggestion, post it here and I'll edit it in.

The Pullbox, then General Comics for me.

Okay, I feel like I missing something. What is the signifigance of Pull Box thing? That name makes no sense to me....yet seems to be a recognized term for everyone else.

It's a reference to a function that comic book stores generally provide.  You obtain a 'pullbox' from them and list what comics you would like to 'subscribe' to - they pull new volumes as they come in and add them to your pullbox, you can then purchase them.  I am unsure whether this is a paid service or not, as I'm not that much of a comic book connoisseur.

Ah! Thank you. I never really gotten into comics, so I was mistified by the term....especially when so many others seemed to know it.

I'd rather it be unimaginative than obscure, or cryptic.  There is no need to be flowery with subject titles, I feel it makes it look like you are trying too hard.
